Hopscotch

Jack played hopscotch and loved the notion of jumping up and down.  He kept getting Vanessa and taking her back, so he could keep on jumping.  Afterwards he tried to jump by himself.  Jack had a lot of fun!

Writing

Jack is learning to write in lots of different ways.  He writes in his activity book, practises letter formation using the iPad, joins dots together, and uses a whiteboard.  Jack can write J's by himself now.  He is learning to write the letter a.  He uses a stencil to get the correct formation and then traces it using a highlighter. 



Matching Game

Jack has a lot of new matching games.  He can match the pictures on a food game now.  There are lots of pictures of things Jack likes to eat.

Dental Nurse Visit

Jack decided to go and visit the dental nurses.  He was very interested in the new caravan.  He happily lay down on the chair, tried on the glasses, and loved a sticker being on his hand.  Well done Jack!  It looks like you had a lot of fun.

Jack liked banging the rakau together for P.E.  There were lots of giggles and enjoyment.

Rabbit at School

Shania brought a rabbit to school.  Jack was very gentle with the rabbit.  He loved patting its ears.

Looking at Snails

Jack was fascinated by the snails in our class.  He kept picking them up to look at them and feel them.  He didn't like their slimy feel.

Jacks Friends

Jack enjoys doing class activities alongside other classroom children. 
 
He is very good at helping with some of his favourite puzzles and he also enjoys having Hairy Mclary stories read to him by his friends.

Its great to see Jack becoming more involved with classroom activities and communicating with his peers.

Autumn Leaves

Using the Autumn Leaves we collected from around the school grounds we created our Autumn Art.
Jack loved using the dye to paint over the leaves he had traced and drawn. To finish, Jack cut and glued on the yellow leaves that he had designed. Our art work was then shown in assembly.
