Supporting Your Child at Home

Here's a link to the 'Supporting Your Child at Home' document published by the Ministry of Education, just in case you didn't get your copy in term one.  There are some useful ideas for the holidays.

Room 21's Pink Pigs

Room 21 read one of the 'Mrs Wishy-Washy' series of shared books. A pig was one of the characters in the story.  Room 21 made pink pigs using paper plates and egg cartons.  The children then described their pigs.  

Room 8's 'The Giant's Icecream'

Room 8 have been reading the shared book The Giant's Icecream. We problem solved about how to make a giant. After a lot of discussion the children decided to draw an outline, paint it, cut it and stuff it with newspaper. We love our giant!

Room 7's 'Owl Babies'

Room 7's shared book this week is 'Owl Babies'.  We have watched some information clips about baby owls.  The children showed they were really thinking about their learning by asking interesting questions.  Tomorrow we will be sequencing the main events in the story.  Don't our owl babies look gorgeous.
