ROOM 7 - WOW SUCH ACHIEVEMENTS THIS WEEK.
In the past week we have been awarded 2 trophies & a soccer ball!This shows that Room 7 are being SHARP and responsible. We won the Totara Syndicate trophy for the tidiest cloakbay (every & all day). We won the school assembly trophy for being a SHARP class. (Each school assembly we have a teacher who is the spy - they look out for a class who is sitting & behaving SHARP). We got the soccer ball for maintaining our PE equipment each week.

A few reminders:
* Clareville A & P show - this weekend. Room 7's sock puppets will be on display in the big hall at Clareville. They do judge these - wonder who will get a prize? (End of week 3)
* Group day (calves & lambs) - good luck to those children from Room 7 going. Enjoy & have fun. (Week 3)
* Only for the children in kapa haka: Kapa Haka festival - Thursday 30th October (a note has gone home re: this). (Week 3)
* School photos are being taken on Tuesday 4th November. (Week 4)
* Book character dress up day, Wednesday 5th November. (Week 4)
* Homework for week 3 will be for the children to get information about their NZ author. Interesting/fun facts. Visit the town library, get books out written by their author. All children have chosen an author & they know who it is.

New website we will be using for learning: http://skoolbo.co.nz/
Skoolbo - Go Kiwi Kids Go! is a great new site to assist primary school children with reading, maths, Te Reo and Samoan. Skoolbo contains dedicated areas for children, parents and teachers. Children are immersed in a virtual learning world where they are motivated by the inbuilt rewards mechanisms to build their abilities. Parents and teachers are also equipped with an array of tools to help them to support their children to achieve wonderful educational outcomes.
Athletics training - last week saw us doing the vortex throw & long jump. These photos show the good stance the children are using - we are working on their skills.
I love this photo - Tahirih & Archie S are at the teacher's desk after having done their spelling partner testing. Look at Archie's pen around his neck (so cute!!).
Every now & then I am touched by what the children write to me or give to me: I must say last week I was given something very special - and I did have to laugh. I was given an EGG! The egg shell was empty and inside was a handwritten note with a special message to me. I had to carefully remove a tiny bit of the egg to reveal the message.

Here I am with my EGG!
