Nurse Jules & handwashing

On Monday we had a visit from Nurse Jules and her helper.

Nurse Jules talked to us about how important it is to 

wash our hands;

after going to the toilet

before you eat

after you sneeze.

This is Nurse Jules and her helper.

Here we are waiting for the hand sanitiser, so we can practise washing our hands.

Millie washing between her fingers.

Folding the Milk Cartons

We have been learning how to fold the milk cartons, 

it looks easy, but you definitely need to have strong muscles.

First, we went to look at where we store the milk at Owai.

Here in the Milk Fridges.

Then, we looked where we put the recycled milk cartons, once they are folded.

Here we are with our folded milk cartons.

Good on you, Millie and Troy.

It was exciting in Room 1 today, 

after many days of anticipation,

Fairy Judy

came to visit.

Fairy Judy loves reading and she loves giving out the 

Holiday Reading Certificates.  We were lucky being Room 1, 

we received ours first.

Well Done, 

everyone who read in the holidays.

Artash, Arnie, Rafin, Omar, Mohamed, Tyson, Oscar, Sibley.

Jandal Holiday Writing

We have such a hot, hot hot Summer,

so, it is no surprise that most of the children on their first day of school;

wrote about swimming at the beach and at the pool.

So, because it is Summer, 

we have illustrated our writing on jandals, 
because we often wear jandals in Summer! 

We have been learning in Te Reo, the word for 
Summer is Raumati!

Here are our, 

Jandal Holiday Stories.

Learning Together in Room 1
