Fun with balloons
In the first week of school we did a lot of team building activities. One of the team building activities we did was trying to keep the balloon off the ground using only our mouths. We found this really really hard but we had heaps of fun!!!

Topic
For our topic this term we are learning about the risks that other children our age face. As part of our unit we will be creating Safety Savvy plans to help others deal with these risks.
Yesterday we went around the school identifying risks. We were amazed at all the small hazards we found around the school.
As we were coming to the end of our search we discovered a big hazard being illiminated. It was a tree being removed by a crane.
Here are some pictures of it being removed.

2011
Hello and welcome to Room 1a!
We've had a great start to the year in our newly created classroom.
Our auction has started this week; students will be able to earn money over the term and on the last day of the term we will have a mystery auction where they will be able to spend the money they have earnt.
Students will be able to earn money by attending school, completing and handing in homework on time, winning challenges, having a can do attitude, participating in classroom activities and being a supportive class member. As well as being able to earn money students can also be fined! Students may be fined for not doing homework, being late to class, challenge requirements and bad behaviour (which I'm sure will be no body).
We have been doing all sorts of activities in our first week including games and challenges. In maths we are looking at different strategies for problem solving. A particularly challenging activity was lining up from youngest to oldest. This may sound easy, but try doing it only speaking maori. This was a challenge. This activity was a great opportunity for the class to work together as a team. We managed to complete the task, with only a few people receiving fines for speaking English.
Have had a fantastic week, Room 1a are a great bunch and I look forward to the rest of the term.
