This week in Team 1
Here goes! My first effort at creating a class blog! I hope to get the children to blog moving forward but our mornings are very, very busy and I am always mindful that the children will gain the most from time spent reading, writing and doing maths.
We welcome SoHee to our class. SoHee has lived in New Zealand for 3 years and has recently moved to Kaikoura. She has all ready become a great role model for the rest of the team with her high standard of work. Well Done, SoHee!
Well, what a wet week, again! I am very proud of how our team coped with wet intervals and lunchtimes and the wonderful ‘I Spy’ puzzle that was put together, the construction with the blocks and the many card games that the children played.
This week we have completed acrostic poems on our environment – ‘Kaikoura.’ Each line starts with a letter from the name – Kaikoura.
Here is Zoe’s Poem
Kaikoura, I love it
Albatross flying
Ice on the mountain
Koura in rock pools
Octopus swimming
Under the sea
Rock pool full of water

The other excitement at Suburban this week is the number of waxeyes that are enjoying eating the bird balls that we made last week. I am not sure if there will be any left when we return from the weekend. It is fantastic to see what a difference we have made to our environment by providing our beautiful birds with food. Previously, we rarely saw the birds in our trees. I have attached a photo.
