FIRST week back term 2

Welcome back to Room 7 - what an awesome week. I was so proud of Room 7 on Wednesday in our school assembly - they were so SHARP!

Our SHARP students for our first week back are.....Harrison, Campbell and Ali =)
Thank you to these 3 boys for attending the ANZAC parade in the holidays.

 Welcome back Room 7 students - Miss Burt has a prezzie for you......Douglas looking at his book.

Liv & Sophia unopening their book to read. 

Jet was very happy to get his book to read ;)

Woohoo here we are: Ali, Dallas, Tyah, Harrison, Fergus & Max. 

Max, William, Logan, Zac and Ava with their books to read. 

Tyah, Esther, Petra, Jet and Mackenzie.
(Hi to Petra's Grandma) =)

Mackenzie, Kuini, Elliot & Campbell - books to read!!

Liv, Sophia, Annabelle & Charlie.

EVERYBODY NEEDS TO KNOW HOW SPECIAL THEY ARE.
As part of our SHARP lesson - showing RESPECT to others and things...
We did this exercise - the children wrote their name in the middle of the flower. And the flower was passed around all the children. Each child wrote a compliment in a petal =) 

Jet writing on a flower...

Charlie...

Zac & Max....

Logan, Niysa & Ava...

 WOOHOO - Room 7 had a big surprise on Monday afternoon. The children had written a letter about their Mum and why she should be queen for the day. (Kane did a letter about his sister)....I took the letters up to the Times-Age.
A staff member from the Times-Age turned up to Room 7 on Friday with a big bag of Freddie frogs - see photo below...Esther with our entries and the bag of Freddies.

 Ngā rakau (sticks).....the below photos show the children using ngā rakau to do the actions to a couple of songs in Māori.

Good on you Ali & Niysa. I have started reading the book Gangsta Granny by David Walliams to the class. The next day Ali & Niysa brought some other David Walliams books into class. 

Super SHARP ANZAC day title pages - these had to have information, questions and pictures on them. 

Well done to Sophia who won the title page competition. 

Dear Room 7......I wrote the class a BIG LONG letter with all the things they have to look forward to in term 2. Please have a read of this (it's on the wall in class).

CONGRATULATIONS to these wonderful readers...

These are all the children who have read over 50 nights in their reading log.
