Making Boats

On fun Friday we had lots of fun making boats with Room D. We have be learning about the letters b and f. There were lots of creative ideas like flags, sails, seats, wheels and motors. Everyone was really great at trying new things. After lunch we launched our boats to see if they would float. They all did!

Our First Day...

Today we had a very busy day. There is so much to learn about each other. We shared about what we enjoyed doing in the holidays. 

• Zoe went to Christchurch on the ferry boat. She played in the playground.
• Abby went on the sea biscuit and on the boat with her family.
• Leighton was riding his red bike with his brother Addison.
• Gracie had presents at George's birthday and she got a turn on the ipad. 
• Mrs Anderson went to Foxton beach. She went swimming in the ocean.

Today we learnt how to read books by ourselves. Did you know there are 3 ways you can read a book?

We practiced reading by ourself. We know to ...

1.  sit by yourself
2. read quietly
3. stay sitting in one spot
4. keep reading

 Welcome to Abby, Gracie, Zoe, Leighton and Riley. You are going to have a wonderful time at Manchester Street School.
