Mrs Church's Class of 2008

There has been alot of learning happening within Mrs Church's class this year.  This page will show only a few snippets of classroom work.

Reading

Learning to read is such an important key to future learning. During the week there are many opportunities provided to enhance this skill.  Reading groups, one on one reading, story time, mat time, library time, books to take home and silent reading all provide opportunities to increase the childrens reading skills.  Role modelling of reading is also important and Mrs Church is seen in this photo enjoying reading along with the children.

Where does milk come from?

The children with the Rata syndicate have been learning where milk comes from and as part of that they visited Lindale Farm.  The children had a ball and it was great to see theire absorbing all the information.  When back at school they had the opportunity to make butter with the knowledge they gained. 

 

 

 

What's in your lunchbox?

Eating healthily is being encouraged at school.  Lunch boxes have been checked and the children have taken note of what is a healthy sort of lunch to bring to school. 

Maths

Making maths fun and relevant to the children makes learning so much easier.

Swimming Sports

The children love their swimming sports held at Tawa Pool.  Not only does it provide good physical activity and life skills it provides the children with a story line when back at school.
