Term One 2017
Welcome back to another school year. What a lovely group of super learners there are in Room12. Great to have my Year 5 children back, and a warm welcome from all of us to the new Year 4 children. I am looking forward to working with you all this year.
I enjoyed meeting parents and setting goals with your children. Thank you for coming.
Welcome to Amanda Burrows who has joined us. I taught her mother and her two aunties. Her nana also worked at Opawa School How is that for a piece of history.
Writing - We looked at a picture of the classroom, and then wrote a piece called "Moment In Time"
Here are some pieces of the children's writing.
I saw children crowding around the work sheets.
I heard the teacher talking.
I felt happy because my friends are in this room.
I wonder how this year will be.
By Mia
I saw children crowding everywhere.
I heard children from different classes chit-chatting to each other.
I felt too shy to make new friends, and I was too anxious to speak.
I wondered if I would get to know people properly.
By Eileen
I saw a television on the wall.
I heard people talking.
I felt angry because I wasn't ready to start school.
I wondered how long it was until home time.
By Isaac
I saw books on top of shelves.
I heard people talking to each other.
I felt tired, very tired.
I wondered if this was going to be a good day.
