Keeping Ourselves Safe

We are involved in the Keeping Ourselves safe programme with Constable Jasmine. We have been talking about what situations make us feel safe and what can make us feel unsafe, confused or worried. We will be looking at ways we can deal with situations where we feel uncomfortable.

Buddy Reading

On Fridays we have buddy reading with another class from our whanau. Room 20 has buddy reading with Room 19,  a Year 2 class. Room 19 children read one of their home readers to us then we share a picture book we have got out from the library. We are encouraging a tuakana teina relationship with other children in our whanau- older children look after and awhi (help) the younger children.

Family Picnic

On Thursday we had a family picnic and children were able to show their classroom to their parents and meet the teacher. It was a lovely relaxing afternoon for all. Thank you for coming.

Shrove Tuesday

The day before Ash Wednesday (the beginning of Lent) is called Shrove Tuesday. Traditionally people would clean out their cupboards of fat, butter and eggs. They would make pancakes, pies or pastries.
We decided to make pancakes. Yum!
