We are ALL about BIKES!!

We had so much fun getting outdoors and trying out the bikes for the first time this year. We all did an amazing job participating and giving it a go despite some fears. Enjoy some photos we captured, it all happened so fast and before we knew it time was up!

Week 2

What a fun-filled week we had! This was our first week with DMIC in full effect. DMIC is a problem strategy used in maths!

Whilst a group is working with Miss Zinck the other group is working with Miss Henry. Here they are playing bingo, to build that quick number recognition. We have some winners in this class!

During math time we also have a chance for independent learning through play and worksheets. These activities are fun-filled with hands on learning experiences.

Team Aroha was on rubbish duty this week. It is so important we try to keep our school clean!

We stepped out of class to keep some writing inspiration which

also links with our statistics topic. We wrote a sentence about what colour car we saw on the road.

To end our week, we linked up with Aroha 3 to do some ball skills. We practised throwing (chest to chest and bounce passing) and catching.

Excited to head into week 4!

Welcome! All aboard!

Hi! Welcome to Aroha 4's blog!

We are so excited to share what we get up to in class with you all. In Aroha 4 we currently have 8 students and we have been keeping ourselves busy.

We have been exploring us and our amazingness!! We started this year off with self portraits and writing a sentence. It was so fun to create our hair out of PASTA.

We have also been working together to get to know each other and helping one an other out on the playground. Swimming this week has been a nice treat in this weather. We have been gaining confidence to go under water and walk from one side of the pool to the other.
