Our Trip to Ferrymead
What a wonderful day we had at Ferrymead Heritage Park. We began by getting dressed up in old fashioned school clothes and quickly followed that with a ride on the tram. Next we had a go at Heritage games and finished our day experiencing what it was like at school 100 years ago - complete with a grumpy school teacher! Here are a few photos of our day...

High Frequency Words - Red Level
Here are the next set of High Frequency words for your reference. I am endeavoring to make laminated cards, but as this is quite time consuming, you may wish to make your own set using the template below. If you would like a printed copy, please let me know.

We love cricket!
Today we had two coaches from Canterbury Cricket take us for a batting, fielding and catching session. We had great fun whacking the balls for six and diving to make boundary saving catches in the field.
At the conclusion of the session, the children were very lucky to be given a bag filled with goodies to take home. Included in the bag was a registration form for Junior Summer Cricket if your family is interested.

Dear Parents and Caregivers
We welcomed Agustin to our class this week, and had a busy week hosting
a group of children from Sunbeam Kindy as well as many children on their pre-entry
visits. Our class is nearly full now, with Archer and Harrison completing the
team when they join us in Week 8, bringing our total to 17 children. Room 10
opens this coming week.
The children are making great progress in the mastery of their High
Frequency Sight Words. Please let me know when you think your child can
instantly identify each word in the set, at which point I will test them and
send home cards for the next level. Remember spelling the words is an excellent
extension activity as well.
For our Inquiry this week we
continued exploring games children played at school in the past. We had lots of
fun playing knucklebones, marbles, tiddly-winks and hopscotch. Check out the
photos on our Room 3 blog.
Our Art focus today was the
creation of a Kowhaiwhai panel, incorporating a koru design. We look forward to
displaying our completed designs in the classroom.
Thank you so much for taking time to attend the School Entry Assessment
meetings. I have really enjoyed the opportunity to spend time talking with
children and their families. I will advise the families of the remaining
children when their assessments have been completed and we will make a time to
meet. This will most likely be during Weeks 8-10, depending on your child’s
entry to school date.
Enjoy your weekend – Spring
is definitely on the way!
Kind regards
Cara Wallace
