Colour Match

Jack has been working very hard on matching his colours.  He now can match red, yellow, blue, green and orange.  We are introducing new colours every week and he is doing very well at matching them one-to-one.  

Independent Writing

Jack now has his own Independent Writing Book.  He traces over his sentences.  For example: I went to the flag. I went to the Slide. 
Jacks work is also being published. Great Work Jack.

Gymnastics Display

Halcombe School held a Gym display in the hall for all caregivers to come and watch their children do some fantastic gymnastics.  Jack Participated in the display.  He especially loved balancing on the beam and jumping over the vault and even putting his arms up at the finish.  Jack also had ago at jumping from the rebounder to the mat.  He sat and watched the bigger kids doing their display as well.

Maths: Area

Jack enjoyed group maths learning how to measure the area of the classroom table using A4 sheets of paper and also the teaching station whiteboard.  Jack really enjoyed interacting with his peers and helping when he could. 

Its great to see Jack taking interest in these activities and watching what the children are doing and making attempts to join in.

Tidy Up Time

At the end of the day all children in room one have tidy up jobs.  Jacks is to wipe down the benches, which he does now with no facilation. Good job Jack.

"The Lamborghini"

Our topic is "Inventors" and Mr Short Kindly bought his Lamborghini to show the students and to talk about his exciting invention.  Jacks eyes lite up when he saw this cool car and had the opportunity to sit inside it.

Mini Olympics Day

Jack had an awesome day taking part in Mini Olympics Day at Arena Manawatu in Palmerston North.  He loved the dancing at the beginning and then moving onto activities around the Arena.  Jacks favourite part of the day would have to be the Gymnastics, walking along the beam, rolling over the large cyclinder obstacle, and jumping from the rebounder to the mat.  He even had a go at shotput and group tag games.  At lunch time he sat in a big group alongside his classroom friends.  At the end of the day Jack joined in with the rest of the schools making the Olympic Rings. Everyone is extremely pleased he attended the whole day! WAY TO GO JACK!

Library Corner

Jack enjoys his time spent in the Library corner.  He sits with his classroom peers and listens to stories read to him. He also gets his own books which he likes to point to the words and look at the pictures.  This is a quiet time for Jack and a chance for him to interact with his friends.  

ICE CREAM !!!

Today at school we all got to have an Ice Cream in room one, as a follow on from learning our ice cream poem and winning a Gold Medal at the Olympics.

Jack also wrote a story, "I like Icecreams"
He was very happy to receive his icecream and sat on the mat with rest of the class, while they all licked there delicious vanilla icecreams.
