Not a box

This week the children from room 6 and 7 have been sharing a book called 'Not a box' written by Antionette Portis.  

Use the pictures below as a guide to ask your child about the story - they have loved it!  

They wrote a story and completed some artwork that is now proudly displayed in the classrooms.  Check it out below!

 They used their imaginations to come up with ideas.  

The children were asked to use describing words to make their stories interesting to read. 

I'm sure you'll agree they have been very creative!

The end of our second week already!

I have had a great time getting to know all the children in Room 7 and the rest of Kiwi syndicate.  Today we finished our week with a discovery time.  

The children love the opportunity to choose activities and to interact with different children or re-kindle relationships from last year.  

As a teacher it is such a positive time to step back and observe the key competency skills outlined in the first photo below, and model them to help the children develop these very important skills.

Check out all the creative, engaging, imaginative activities in the photos below.
