<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a good look at all the the old houses. We also had a look at the new exhibits that they had as well. It was heaps of fun! We learnt all about how people had to live in the olden days when we went to visit the special teacher in the education room. They didn't have washing machines, showers, taps with running water, or even a fridge to keep their food cold! The teacher in the education room was wearing some really strange clothes that didn't look very comfortable. We got to dress up in olden day clothes as well! We all had a fantastic day and heaps of fun.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A1 decided to write our blog post together this week. We have some new stations.

A huge amount of teachers have been taken out by the flu and our class has been dwindling the last few days...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our poem this week is called "Popcorn", and our big book is called "To Town". The letters that we are learning about are Pp, Ii and Nn, and we are continuing to work on number formation, number patterns to 10, and number recognition to 20 for maths.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Tamariki are really enjoying Discovery Time and interacting with A2. Don't forget to check the blog to see some of our amazing creations that we want to share! We were wondering if anybody has any of the following that they would be able to donate to our classrooms for Discovery Time:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Scrap paper for drawing/writing</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Large or small balls</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Wool</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anything that you have hanging around home that you don't want anymore would be much appreciated!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Thank you to all of those people who made the effort to come out and listen to their sharing. It is so beneficial for the children to know and share their next learning steps with you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our big book this week is called "Grandpa, Grandpa", and our poem is called "Like". We are working on number recognition and formation to 20 for maths and we are starting our Cody Capitals for Word Work this week.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The term is once again flying by. At the end of this week we are officially half way through the term already! It's hard to believe we will be in June at the end of this week as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Keep up the hard work tamariki! i am really proud of you all!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have a great week everybody!</span>Maiana Waugh A1http://www.blogger.com/profile/10375367034419668397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599865605861201808.post-68549125902231206152017-05-21T23:55:00.002-07:002017-05-21T23:55:26.765-07:00<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's hard to believe that we are already in week 4! The year is certainly flying by.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week our big book is called "The Farm Concert" and our poem is called "For". The letters we are learning about are 'j', 'x', and 'y', and we are doing number formation, and rote counting to 10, then 20, for maths.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please check whether you have booked in for your Learner Led Conference on Wednesday, or, if this is not convenient, let management know if you would like your child to share their learning with one of them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">DON'T FORGET THAT SCHOOL FINISHES AT 12.30 ON WEDNESDAY!!</span> </span> Any children left behind will be sent to the office at the end of the day.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 9.5pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">We wanted to take this opportunity to unpack a little more about teaching and learning in today’s landscape. It’s looks and feels very different from our classroom days, regardless of where in the world you attended school. Frankly, so it should be. With the well researched best approaches to teaching and learning easily accessible and with the tools we now have at our disposal our ‘digital natives’ deserve nothing less than an environment that will allow maximum engagement, growth and achievement.</span><br />

Last week and this week A Team students have been ‘reclassed’ into groups from each different room. Groups from Year 1 to 6 move around A Team each afternoon and engage in new experiences related to the concept of “CHANGE”, within the context of Science. The purpose of these experiences is not to ‘teach’ science in the old way but to ignite and excite the students curiosity in this area so they can explore, question, research, investigate, test and share their hypothesise and findings with a targeted audience.</span></div>

You may have noticed them coming home and wanting to reproduce the experiments they have enjoyed at school. This is a good example of how we are trying to incite continuous learning. This then motivates student questions and we know from the research that when a student’s learning is platformed from their own self-directed questions and curiosity it makes the end result powerfully learned. </span></div>

Not necessarily in that order and when you look at your child’s day each aspect of this process should be evident. Creating has taken on a whole new meaning. Before the digital era (and we define this as since ipad technology exploded onto the market, only in 2009) we could access a student’s learning response in books and on classroom walls. This is no longer an accurate indication as the platform they now have to share their work has grown exponentially. Teachers are the experts in analysing and identifying progress and the tools they have to do this also reflect the digital age. This means anyone making an assumption on progress by simply looking in a book could be grossly misguided and just plain wrong. For any questions regarding progress it is best to talk to the teacher. </span></div>

This means children are engaged in constructing knowledge rather than simply acquiring it. Knowledge is constructed based on personal experiences and hypotheses of the environment, meaning students take ownership of their learning. It is the New Zealand Curriculum’s approach to teaching and learning.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Welcome back everybody!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My health had to come first last week I'm afraid, and I still need to take it easy this week. I had all of the plates, screws, pins and wire removed from my ankle as well as an iron infusion to combat the anaemia that I didn't realise I was suffering from. Just wait... give it a week and I will be running around the bike track with the rest of A1 on my new and improved ankle and amazing amounts of energy thanks to the transfusion!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A1 was lucky to have Mrs Mills in our class last week. She told me that she had an amazing time with the tamariki and that they all made her feel very welcome. The letters that she worked on last week were 'w' and 'l'. They also started our inquiry topic, 'Change', with experiments every afternoon with the teachers in the A Team.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week our letters are 'k' and 'v', our big book is "What Does Greedy Cat Like?", and our poem is "Jellybean Tree". We are looking at number recognition and patterns in maths, and our science afternoons are going to be carrying on for the rest of the week. We are going to have a tsunami drill this week as well. The children do not know about the drill but we will be discussing it as a class afterwards and the reasons why we have to have drills for things such as fires, lock downs, and earthquakes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am really excited about term 2 and the things we have planned for the tamariki. Our budding scientists are so enthusiastic and eager to learn. It makes me wish I was 5 again as well!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have a fantastic week everybody! I will hopefully see more of you all next week...</span></div>

This term has flown by! It has been fantastic getting to know the kids in A1 and help settle into school.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week we are doing lots of fun Easter activities and enjoying our last week together before the holidays. Our big book is called "The Jigaree", and our poem is called "Look". The letters that we are learning about this week are 'h' and 'r' and we are focusing on number formation and ordering numbers during maths.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This term has been really busy and I am pleased with how the tamariki have settled into school life. They have worked hard and made lots of new friends. Next term is going to just as a action packed and I'm looking forward to helping them continue with their learning.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have a fantastic holiday!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are so excited to be sharing our learning with our community and whanau!! Thursday morning is going to be fantastic!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Please bring a plate of food for the shared morning tea!</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We are learning about relationships/friendships in A1 and A2. Ayla, Emma and Isabella decided to use the play dough to make a group of friends going to the movies. They said that they are being kind to each other and are helping each other when people are mean. We think that they have done a fantastic job!</span></div>

Where has the time gone this term? We are busy trying to fit as much learning as we can into the last few weeks of school. Everybody is tired but they all still seem eager to learn!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have had a few unwelcome visitors on people's heads the last couple of weeks. Please check your child for naughty nits and treat them if necessary. Remember to repeat the treatment to avoid any unnoticed eggs hatching from the first time as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is a vicious cycle, but if we can all keep on top of it, hopefully it should keep them to a minimum...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I'm sure people will be able to see from the picture, there are less and less children bringing their togs for swimming each week. As a result of this, we have decided to make next week the last week for swimming this year. Make sure you bring your togs so that we can make the most of our last couple of weeks in the pool!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week our big book is "Keep Trying", and our poem is "Me". Our letters that we are learning about are 'd' and 'g' and we are continuing to work on number recognition, and before and after numbers to 20 for maths.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are continuing with our school wide focus on manners and picking up our rubbish. All the tamariki in A1 are making a concerted effort to remember to say please and thank you and are doing really well remembering to put all of their rubbish in the bin.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have a good week everybody! </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some of the super clever kids in our class decided to use their discovery/developmental time to make this amazing dinosaur zoo! Caeden, Lauren and Jai decided to use the blocks and dinosaurs to make a zoo. They put little dinosaurs in the big gap and the big dinosaurs in the little gaps. They tried their best to fit them all in there. They said that they had to think about the sizes. Caeden said it is like a thunder zoo with lots of reptiles and animals and dinosaurs.</span></div>

We have all been working really hard and have been learning so much that we are exhausted by the end of the day!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week our big book is called "Dog" and our poem is called "I Can Jump". Our letters that we are learning about are 'i' and 'n' and we are continuing to focus on recognition and formation of numbers to 10, before and after numbers to 10, and basic facts to 5 for maths.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The children are all enjoying swimming on Monday and Thursday afternoons. Don't forget to name everything (we have had quite a few pairs of nameless undies that nobody will claim!!) and to ensure that the children have their togs and towels with them on those days.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They are also enjoying library on Wednesday afternoons and look forward to their visits with 'Mrs Books'. Please make sure that the children have their library books in their book bags on Wednesdays so that they can choose a new book to issue.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have a great week!</span>Maiana Waugh A1http://www.blogger.com/profile/10375367034419668397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599865605861201808.post-84031550938728237952017-02-26T18:25:00.001-08:002017-02-26T18:26:27.537-08:00<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We have another busy week planned in A1. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our letters that we are focusing on are 't' and 'p', we are still writing every day focusing on where to do our plans, write our names and do our writing, and for maths we are focusing on number recognition to 10, before and after numbers to 10 and basic facts to 5. We are continuing to work on our school song, our school dance and we have team building middle block on Friday. Hopefully after all of that we will still have time to fit in our swimming, library and some reading as well!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We have our new Bike Track opening on Wednesday afternoon straight after we have been to visit the library. It would be great if the tamariki could bring decorated bikes or scooters to ride around the track on that day! Don't forget your helmet and your shoes if you do decide to bring them!!</span>Maiana Waugh A1http://www.blogger.com/profile/10375367034419668397noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599865605861201808.post-18014150285062257392017-02-19T18:34:00.000-08:002017-02-19T18:34:28.095-08:00We are slowly getting used to being at school. We had lots of tired children at the end of last week! Luckily Friday was a really fun day with a powhiri to welcome all our new staff and students, team building with the rest of the A-Team, and a special assembly where Charlotte from Peaches and Pickles told us all about Passion Fridays.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Passion Fridays are new to Whangaparaoa School and we are all excited about being involved in encouraging our tamariki with the passions that they have. The eldest and only child in each whanau should have received a newsletter today outlining Passion Friday and the cost that it will incur. Please be sure to have your forms into the school office before the end of the week if you wish for your child to be involved in any of the classes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We are busy learning a school song and a new dance that we will hopefully be able to perform at the end of the term with the rest of the school. We are having heaps of fun learning them! Here are the links so that you can practise them at home:</div>

This is their home book. Inside it is the Anton Song that we sing daily, a sheet with the correct formation of letters and the rhymes that go with them, and a Word Worm at the back of the book. Please sing the Anton Song with your child each night as it helps with their alphabet recognition and sounds. I have included the formation sheet in their homework books so that you are able to check that they are using the correct formation and pencil grip when they are doing any writing at home. The Word Worm has either letters or words that your child is learning in class. They will get a sticker on each word/letter as they master them. A reader will be sent home in their book bags to read with somebody each night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I firmly believe that home time is family time and the time to speak to your child about their day and what they are learning about at school. While reinforcing what they are learning in class is important, it is also important for them to have some down time to recharge the batteries ready for the next day. If you do not manage to sing the song or do the Word Worm every night then that is not a problem. I do ask however, that you make the time to read their reader with them each night. Doing this helps them with their basic sight word recognition and reinforces the lessons that they have had with that book during the day.</span><br />

Starting school can be an exciting time, but it can also make some people nervous. Remember that the teachers are there to help you and that school is really fun!!</span></div>
