Buddy Reading

We are very lucky to have Room 10 and Room 12 from the Pukeko team as our buddy classes this year.

Yesterday some of us went to the library to see our Room 10 buddies and the rest of us stayed in the Red Room.

We showed our Room 12 buddies around our different learning spaces. We then listened to them read us some stories they had brought from their classroom.

Thanks Room 10 and Room 12 we love listening to you read to us!

Exploration Cave

This year we have moved the children's school bags into the classroom spaces.  This has meant that we can use the LARGE old cloakroom space to put some of the items that were in our transition room and open up all the classroom spaces to give us better flow.  These children are using our new 'Exploration Cave' which contains our water tray, sand tray, an easle for painting and creative works and the trampoline for brain breaks.  There are also some plans for a lego area created on one of the walls.

We have made a treaty together for using the Exploration Cave and the Literacy Cave so that the children understand how they can show the values in these spaces.
