Week 4

Last week we looked at Charters and Treaties, and what the purpose of them is. The class brainstormed ideas for our Class Charter. Instead of signatures we added our photos.

This is what the Room 12 Charter looks like.

On Wednesday we had our first Futsal Session on the top court. We learned to control and dribble the ball.

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.

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.

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.

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.
