Term 1 - Weeks 2 , 3 and 4.

Wow, we have had a great and very busy three weeks in Room 6. 

We have been working really hard to learn our letter sounds. It was great to see all parents at 3 Way Conferences to explain and share the new reading and spelling programme we have started. You can see us using our slide mats to make words below. 

We have been learning about The Zones of Regulation and being able to express and respond to our feelings and emotions. We are getting really good at managing ourselves and deciding what zone we are in and what we need to do about it. This is to enable us to be in the best learning mind frame. 
This is us doing yoga. 

We had a great visit to Merle Leask Kindergarten to see our new friends who will be starting in our classroom soon. 
We have been learning about The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Here is some great work and artwork we have been working on. 

We have been practising our kicking skills. 
We enjoyed having our Pōwhiri to welcome all the new students and families to our school. 
We love our Junior Discovery time.

2021 Term 1 - Week 1

 Welcome back to School for 2021. We are all very happy to be back and many of us have just started at Netherby School this year. 
We have been practicing our ball skills each day.
Our storytelling story this term is 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. We have loved learning about this and have some very cute caterpillars in our classroom that we are going to watch change over their life cycle. 
These are the great self portraits we have been creating this week.
