Room 1
We are in the same classroom! We have the same teacher! We are a year older! The work is harder and we have welcomed five new students to our class.
Room 1 Concord School is home to all the Year 3 students and five more Year 2's have joined us! We now have 21 students - 13 Year three and eight Year two children.
We love our classroom and approach tasks with enthusiasm and curiosity. We work well together and support each other in literacy and numeracy activities, and if we need extra help we have our teacher aide, Mrs Wilson. She helps us to learn our words so we can be better at reading and writing. She works with some children to improve co-ordination and writing skills. She also does lots of other things to support our teacher Mrs Young!
We are good at working independently and are making decisions about our next learning steps, setting goals to improve our achievement, and being responsible for looking after the classroom, the playground, as well as our own belongings.
We love finding out more about each other through the Circle Time games and expressing our feelings in the forum sessions. We discuss ways to live by the Virtue of the Week, and are finding out how to use our Strengths.
Term 1 has been a busy time. We have had a sponsored biathlon - running and biking - to open our running track, have been on a long walk to a local park visiting the kindy on the way, and had a mufti day to support the people of Christchurch. We know safe ways to approach unknown dogs through the K9 visit, and how to keep ourselves safe when walking to school - Ronald McDonald visited! We also had heaps of children walking during the Walk 'n' Wheel to School week. As a Duffy School, we have selected our first Duffy Books and the Duffy Theatre has visited. What enthusiastic actors - we all loved the performance! We look forward to welcoming the Duffy hero to present our books to us.
