'Rumpus at the Vet'

Over the last couple of weeks Room 7 has had an animal care area set up in class.  This was based on the books 'Rumpus at the Vet' and 'Greedy Cat and the Sneeze'.

A big thank you to Mrs Rush's daughter Melissa, who gave us many of the resources for this activity.

Leaves, Leaves, Leaves!

Room 7 had such fun at school today.  Mr Parnell (caretaker) took time out of his busy Monday to make a huge pile of leaves for us to play in. Afterwards we drew and wrote about our experiences.
Thanks Mr Parnell!

Tui Friday Afternoons

Most Friday afternoons the whole Tui Team participate in Play Based Learning on the field.

The children enjoy the opportunity to interact with other Tui children, use equipment in different ways, and generally have fun.  What a great way to finish off a busy school week!

'It's My Bread'

Room 7's shared book this week has been 'It's My Bread'. On Thursday afternoon we made toast, and on Friday the children wrote about the experience with Mrs Walsh.

Pop into class and have a look at the new wall display with all the children's photos and writing.

Loose Parts

This week the arrival of a new 'loose part' - an old steering wheel from one of Mrs Rush's son's cars has ensured that the children have been on some great imaginary journeys in a variety of vehicles!

Mrs Gregory

On Tuesdays children who are just about ready to start school visit for the morning.  Mrs Gregory also visited.  She looks like she's having lots of fun in Room 7!

Swimming Term 2 Week 1

The children were very excited to go swimming today.  They all had a great time, and it was a nice way to end their first week of school.
