Just a reminder of things to remember this term:

• Tuesday Mornings are now our Library Mornings we will be going at 9:10am
• Wednesday Afternoons at 13:40-14:10 are Room 15's swimming lessons so please bring your swimming togs and towels.

Also please remember to bring your book bags into school each morning and a reading book will be sent home each night Monday - Thursday. On Fridays students will be bringing home their poetry books please read these with your child over the weekend.  

We will also be sending home spelling books again starting Monday in week 2. These words are to be learnt Monday - Thursday and will be checked and tested on a Friday.

Keep up all the great support and home 

We are going to have a great term

Tawa School support for the Blackcaps.

On Friday the whole of Tawa school had a black out day (wear something black for the day) in support for the Blackcaps up coming World Cup cricket final this Sunday. So the staff had a genius idea to create a Tawa school silver fern out of the staff and students.

The Superheroes of Room 15

This week Room 15 have been thinking about what it would be like to be a superhero. We had a chance to design our own superheroes and write about what they could do and look like.

Penultimate MoveMprove session

Today was Room 15's penultimate MoveMprove session, . I have noticed the growing confidence and enjoyment that the students have shown week by week as they have got better on each piece of apparatus. Below are some pictures from today's session.

 

GoNoodle

This week every morning after roll Room 15 have been using our television screen to have an active start to the day. We have been doing balance exercises whilst following Maximo a character  off the website www.gonoodle.com. This is great interactive exercise website where students follow an animated character on the screen who goes through many different balancing positions. This has been a great active way to begin our days.

Art inspired by The Rainbow Fish big book

Last Week Room 15's sound of the week was 'sh' and we read the book The Rainbow Fish. The students produced their very own amazing Rainbow Fish, which you will find swimming in our classroom. 

Second trip on the Life Education Truck
