Sharing Days

Part of the Room 1 Oral Language programme is daily sharing. Students have sharing days and can bring in something to show the class or they simply tell the students about something exciting they have done. Today Zeke brought in his lantern from the lantern parade. What awesome sharing and an awesome experience you had Zeke.

Week 6 Certificates

Week 6 Certificates - Congrats to Rosalie and James, they worked extremely hard all week for these certificates. Keep it up! 

Term 2 Art - Draw and Design

The focus for art this term is draw and design. Room 1 are starting off with drawing. On Thursday the students got to free draw a picture of a person. Then we talked through the process of what makes a person look good when drawing one and what features do we need to include such as 2 arms instead of 4 arms. Room 1 then went away and practiced drawing another person. The outcomes are fantastic and showed me that they understand the basic process of drawing a person and what to include.

Week 5 Certificates

It was extremely exciting to welcome Eti to Room 1 today, he is already a valued member of our class and well liked by his peers.

Congratulations to Yulia and Jack who received

Keep up the amazing work Room 1!
