Classroom Learning

So much learning to be done in our classroom that the weeks are just flying by!
Some of the photos are of us doing 'Word Work' which is part of our Daily 5 reading program.

Well done Isabel!

Twice a week we get to use the school Ipads.  There are some cool activities we can use to help us with our writing and 'Daily 5' reading.  There were no Ipads or computers when Miss B was in Year One - how times have changed!!

Rico and Dylan patiently waiting their turn after Heavenly

Ms Boyd likes us to do our own self portraits throughout the year. This term we did Collage Art. We ripped small pieces of paper from magazines that were the same colour of as our skin and hair.  Then we had to find a nose, eyes and a mouth. It has taken a little while but some are finished and hanging up in our room, we would love you to pop in and see them.

Music Time!

Western Heights now has it's very own music room! In our second week at school we got to play on the instruments, some that Mr McClay had made over the holidays. Some instruments were very LOUD, but we really enjoyed playing them.

Playball

During our first week of school Play Ball visited our school. Coach James taught us some cool small ball games.  There was lots of fun and laughter to be heard.

Nau Mai!

Welcome to 2015!


We began the year with a lovely bunch of 14 children who were looking forward to doing lots of learning after a long, fun summer holiday.  
This year Room 2 are lucky to have a student teacher 'Miss Swan', who was with us for the first two weeks of school and will then visit our class each Tuesday.

Hannah Swan enjoys playing tennis and watching her favourite soccer team Manchester United.  She plays the guitar and speaks French - she may even teach us some words in French!

Sports Day Video-Making

Today we made a short video about our sports day. We put the pictures in and also made the music.

Here are some of our music videos. We hope you like them.

Treasure Hunt

This morning some pirates took some treasure from Miss Smith's car.  They left a map, so decided we would go on a hunt to find the treasure.

First stop was the water fountain.

Aww no treasure here.  So we walked to the next spot.

At the playground we searched high and low...

 Yes - Ashley found a clue!!

Outside the library Lucas found our next clue!

We tip toed to our last spot.  We were very excited!
The treasure has to be somewhere here in the butterfly garden.

And then presto - the treasure was found!

Well done Hazel!!

Trick or Treat

Friday 31st October was Halloween.  Many children went trick or treating with their families that night dressed in some spooky costumes. I'm not sure how many of them did tricks, though I am sure most were lucky to get yummy treats to share and eat

Some of our friends decided to come dressed up to school.
