Characters

To celebrate the end of our "Book Fair" we all dressed up as one of our favourite book characters.

Well done Room 1 you all look amazing.  

Thank you parents and care givers for supporting this week.

Sister Ann

Sister Ann from the 'Mission Sisters' came to visit us today.  

She talked to us about her mission work in Cambodia and then she taught us about meditation.

To meditate we sat in a circle with our arms and legs crossed.  We then listened to three chimes on the meditation bowl and quietly and slowly said the word, Ma-ra-na-tha, (Come Lord Jesus.). To end the meditation we heard three chimes on the meditation bowl again and slowly opened our eyes.

It was a very peaceful and relaxing experience.  

Thank you for that Sister Ann.

First Year Friends

Room 1 had visitors yesterday from, 'First Year Preschool'. 

They shared the first part of the day with us.  

We did phonics, made rainbows and read to a buddy using 'EEKK.'

Thank you for the visit, we had a wonderful time.  

Daily 5

Room 1 have started on a new literacy journey, "The Daily 5.

Our first step was to establish our, "Reading to Self" routines.

As you can see we are well on the way.

Keep up the amazing reading Room 1, you are fantastic.

Our next step is to establish, "Reading to Somebody".

Bounce, Bounce, Bounce

Miles was back today.

He was teaching us how to dribble with a basketball.

We now know we use one hand, we control the basketball with our fingers and we bounce the basketball up to our belly button.

Thanks Miles

Bounce bounce bounce

Room 1 had an amazing time with Miles.  He was teaching us some awesome basketball skills like "jump stop", " catch and clap" and more skills will follow next week.

Keep on bouncing Room 1.
