Place Value Monsters

We had fun making our initial of our name with the place value blocks.  We had to work out how much our letter was worth by counting the tens and ones.  Then some of us made monsters. It was tricky adding them up!  Miro got to 595!

Reading Time in Room 1

Today we talked about the importance of staying on task at Reading time by making sure we are doing lots of reading and writing so we can become better readers.  

Here are the Super Duper Room 1 Readers - 'reading to self' and 'reading to someone'.

Discovery

We have Discovery every Friday in Manuka Hub. This week there were lots of interesting things to explore and do.  

Our focus at Discovery time is to be curious and to work together co-operatively.   Here are some of the creative, curious and co-operative Room 1 children ...

Manuka Hub Picnic @ Windsor Park

What a fabulous time we all had at Windsor Park today!   We all enjoyed walking down to the park and as we did the clouds disappeared and the sun shone down!  We had a great time participating in the relays races with our teams.  Our picnic lunch in the shade was lots of fun and we were lucky to have so many families join us!  It was great to be able to finish the day with a dip in the pool!  Well Done Manuka Hub - it was a really fun day!

 All set to leave for our picnic.

 Hunter flying over the hurdles!
