We have had a wonderful week with 8 friends joining our class! All of the new children starting school will be in Room 10 with Teresa.
This week we have been learning about the letter 'j'. As it was Friday Funday we decided to make some jelly. We talked about how water can be a gas as in the steam, a liquid as in the water we drink and then a solid, such as ice or wibbly, wobbly jelly. We all had a turn at stirring the mixture.
While we were waiting for our jelly to turn into a solid we had a special visit from 'Tails'and his friends from Kelly Sports. Kelly Sports are running an after school programme at Nelson Central School on a Thursday. Tails was showing us some of the activities that are part of the programme.
Next week....
Now that we have got new friends in our class the letters and words we are learning will depend on what stage we are at.
Some children will be learning 'a' and 't' while others are learning 'oa' and 'ie'.
Our words will be here and go, or, dad and mum.
As part of our topic we are 'setting the scene' by concentrating on the postive aspects of our environment. Autumn is an opportune time to appreciate the beauty of Nelson. Steph and the children are creating some magnificent artwork around the classroom. Be sure to take a look.
Cross country training starts next week. We will be training with all the other 5 and 6 year olds Monday-Thursday. Please ensure your child has suitable shoes for running in.
Today Karel left us for a four week holiday to The Netherlands to visit his grandparents and family. We look forward to hearing all about his trip when he returns. We miss him already!! Safe travels.
