Room 12's Class Promise

Monday 8th February, was the day that the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi was observed. Room 12 was asked by Miss S to think about the following questions: What makes you feel happy at school? What makes you feel safe at school? How can we help each other to feel safe and happy at school? What can Miss S do to help you feel safe and happy at school? It is very important to Room 12 that everyone in our whanau feels safe and happy when they come to school. We shared our ideas in pairs and then as a whole class. We have agreed that we will try to work as a team to acheive the promise that we have made to one another. There may be times when we forget the promise. This is why we have it on the door to our classroom, so that we can revisit the promise as a class if we forget and need to be reminded. Keep trying Room 12 whanau. You can do it!!

Chinese New Year- Year of the Monkey

Room 12 have listened to some of our friends share their ideas about what activities they do to celebrate Chinese New Year. Jason likes to eat food with his family. Iris celebrates with her family by singing. Sonia dances and sings with her family. Etienne likes watching Chinese people celebrating. To celebrate the year of the monkey, Room 12 have created some visual art. Please feel free to come and see our mixed media art work hanging in our classroom. We challenged ourselves to: * Hold our paintbrush like a pencil * Use big wide hands to create the hands and feet of the monkey * Colour inside the lines using the right colours for our monkey's face. We hope you like our art work : )

We are learning to: * Change into and out of our togs * Walk safely to the pool * Enter the pool safely * Put our hands on our head and make eye contact with the teacher when the whislte blows * Raise our hand if we need help. : ) Have a good sleep friends and see you tomorrow : ) Miss S
