One of the students in Room 1 simply loves robots. He enjoys creating them and loves drawing them. Check out some of the different robots I have observed in the classroom already this term. I am super proud to support your passion project Tui!
In Term 1 at Glen Innes School we really enjoy exploring the topic, 'All about me'! In our bright and colourful artwork we created a small self portrait using pencil (and vivid) to place in the middle of our picture and used colour squares to create a pattern around the border. A pattern is simply a repeated decorative design. What patterns can you spot in our artwork and what colours would you use if you created your own pattern?
We have been exploring our christian or first names in Room 1. Your christian name is sometimes called a first name. In our class we looked carefully at every name. We read them, explored the letter at the start of each name and counted how many letters in total they have. The shortest names in Room 1 have 3 letters and the longest name has 11 letters. We are all so proud that we can recognise our own names!
Miss Webster shared a cool poem about names to help us make a special display that included everyone's name. It was so great that we were all at school that day, which helped make completing our name poem super easy. 100% attendance, reading, math and creating a display - what an epic day!
Here is a copy of the poem incase you would like to use it in your classroom.
Everybody has a name
Some are different.
Some the same.
Some are short.
Some are long.
All our right.
None are wrong.
Our class name is ..........
It’s special to me.
It’s just where I want to be.
What is your name? Do you know where your name came from? How many letters are there in it? We'd love to hear about your name!
I am super excited to welcome you back in 2024 to Room 1.
Glen Innes School starts back on Thursday 1st February 2024.
We will meet under the big oak tree in the Junior playground at 9.00 a.m.
I hope to see lots of you there!
