End of Year

Friends and families of Room 3,

Thank you for all of your support and help with your children's learning throughout the year. 

2016 has been a wonderful year with the students working very hard to master new concepts and making many new friends. 

Please remember that school closes early tomorrow (Friday 16th December) so please don't forget to pick your loved one up at the earlier time of 12.45.

I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday!

Merry Christmas from Room 3 and Miss Barratt.

Christmas Show!

Kiaora everyone,

Don't forget that this Friday (9th December) is the school Christmas Show.
The Year One Kea team will be performing at 9.30 am in the school hall. Make sure you arrive early to get a great seat!
Room 3 will be performing with Room 1 and we have asked the children to bring in a santa hat and to wear red and green clothing to school on Friday.
You are able to take your children home with you after the performance or bring a picnic lunch to eat with them. Please just remember to let the classroom teacher know if your child will be leaving early.


See you there!

Welcome Back!

Hi everyone,

Welcome back to term 4! Wow, the last term of the school year has certainly come around quickly and room 3 has already hit the ground running. This term is very jam packed with different events so please keep an eye on the class blog and the notices in the school newsletter which will contain all of the important information you need to be aware of.

Please also remember that children need to have their school hats to wear at break times this term as it gets very sunny and hot as we transition into Summer. The hats are to be left at school and can be purchased from the office if you need one.

Thanks,
Miss Barratt and Room Three

Talent Show!

Today we had our end of term Talent Show and Room 3 had several superstars performing. The students worked really hard to hone their dance moves and were absolutely FANTASTIC!!!

Here are a couple of photos and videos of our talented performers.

Well done again to our wonderful classmates!

St John in school!

Kia ora everyone,

Today rooms 3 and 4 were lucky enough to have Sue from St John come and visit us at PCS. We learnt all about what to do in an emergency and how to help people when they are hurt. We got to see some of the special equipment St John ambulance staff use to make people feel better and even helped bandage up poor Mrs Munam.

Here are some photos of the fun we had! 

Thanks for stopping by,

Miss Barratt and Room 3.

Olympics Day!

As part of our topic this term we have been learning about the Olympic Games.
On Friday the 5th of August we held our mini school Olympics morning where the children got to participate in lots of different sports activities run by Counties Manukau.
We had heaps of fun and got to take part in volleyball, basketball, soccer, gymnastics, relay races and even hockey.

Here are some photos of New Zealand's future Olympians.

Assembly

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick reminder that Room 3 are hosting the PCS school assembly on Monday 15th August. We have been working extra hard practicing our play and folk dancing. The children are also able to wear mufti to school on Monday.
Please note that assembly now starts at 2.10pm in the school hall and we would love to see you there!

Thanks for your support,
Miss Barratt and Room Three.

Mini Olympic Sports Day!

Kia Orana,

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow Friday 5th of August is our P.C.S. mini Olympics Day. The children are encouraged to wear sports clothes (including appropriate footwear such as sneakers) or to dress in their favourite countries colors.
As part of our Olympic topic this term each classroom is adopting a country to support. Room Three will be supporting Jamaica so your child could also wear yellow, black or green.
We are very much looking forward to this and hope that the weather cooperates.

Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Thanks for stopping by,

Miss Barratt and Room Three.

Reading Challenge!

Kia Orana,

This week we have started our school wide reading challenge which will run until week 6. 

Each student has been given a bingo style form with different types and styles of books for them to try and read. Their reading challenge forms have been glued into their pink notebooks.

You could support your child by taking them to a public library and helping them choose some interesting stories and listening to their readers each night. 

Please help your child to read as many books as possible and initial and date the box once they have completed each relevant story. 

Thank you for your support,

Miss Barratt and the Room Three Super Readers!

Spelling Lists

Welcome Back!

I hope you have all had a wonderful break.

Room 3 have hit the ground running this term and are straight back into our classroom routines with one new addition - spelling lists.

Every Monday your child will receive a list of words in their pink notebook for them to practice. It would be great if you could help them learn to recognise, write and spell the words or letters they have been given so that they are reading for our spelling test on Fridays.

Thank you for your support,
Miss Barratt.

Folk Dancing!

This term we have learnt several different folk dances. We have been practicing listening to the music, trying to keep in time to the beat, dancing with a partner or in a group and using our arms and legs at the same time.

Here are a few photos of our awesome dance moves!

Thanks for stopping by!

3 Way Conferences!

Kia ora parents and caregivers,

On Thursday 7th July the school will be closing at 12.40pm for 3 Way Conferences. You are welcome to book a time online to come and discuss your child's progress with me, or alternatively you can visit the school office staff who will be happy to show you how to book.

Hope to see you there,

Miss Barratt.

Auckland Zoo Trip!

On Friday the 17th June the Year One Kea team went to the Auckland Zoo. 

In class we have been learning about different animals and their habitats. We saw heaps of cool animals and learnt a lot about native New Zealand birds. 

Here are some photos from our day out...
