WOW workers

These children showed great examples of independent reading yesterday... they were all reading to themselves and staying on task for all of our literacy time.

Library books and home readers

Hi families!

Can you please have a hunt around at home for any overdue library books or home readers.... we need to start rounding up these items this week and early next week.

Thanks!!

Amazing workers!!!

Our MAT winners

Today we had lots of very well behaved teddies who received MAT awards (marvellous attitude toy)
At the end of the day the lovely Mrs Durham came and did a special draw and these are our winners - well done toys and owners!

Aroha Pod toy day

WOW Lanyards strike again....

We just can't stop giving them away... these 4 came up with some FANTASTIC writing about stars this morning.

(Actually, the whole pod came up with some great information, so it was reeeeeeeally hard to pick today!)

A real jet pack!!

Cameron bought this jetpack to school yesterday that he has worked on at home with his dad.  It has an adjustable strap and even a fan that can be turned on!!

What great Innovators!

As a special treat Mrs Davies showed us two of her brass band instruments that she had in her car. One was a Flugel Horn the other was a Tenor Horn. She played the National Anthem on the Flugel Horn and ‘Let it go’ from Frozen on the Tenor Horn.

Special Treat

Making day

We all had such a fantastic time on Tuesday... everyone got REALLY creative and had a blast doing their space themed work.  Check out the movie!  (Be warned... it is 6 minutes long though!!)

New lanyards

This morning we discovered some new lanyards hanging in our pod.  They have dinosaurs on them that will match our new Inquiry topic.

Here are our three focus children wearing the new lanyards:

We also have three new WOW work lanyards.  Here are our three WOW workers from today.  

We are learning about the five Kimochi's that have joined our Pod - Bug, Cloud, Lovey Dove, Huggtopus and Cat.  Crystal, Mynika and Willow did a wonderful job on their Kimochi worksheet, drawings and story.  Well done girls!

If you would like more information about the Kimochi's then refer to the tab at top of our blog or come in and ask us!

ShakeOut!
