Librarian Visit

We had two librarians visit us from the Katikati and Te Puke libraries to share stories and drama.
The highlight of the visit was putting on costumes to act out a story. Thank you Rebecca and Debbie.

Handwriting

We are learning to hold our pencil correctly, sit our letters on the line and form our letters correctly.

Helping at home

Today we read a story called "Along Comes Jake." It is about a family helping each other do chores, and then along comes Jake the baby who just makes a big mess. The children shared what they do to help at home, with each other, then wrote stories. Here are some of their stories.
