Our Term 1 Super Star!

This week we went to a special assembly.  Mrs Mander, our Deputy Principal, came along to give a special award to one student from every class at Eastern Hutt School.

The special award is from Mrs Henderson, our school principal.  But she is sick at home in bed so she couldn't come.  We hope she gets better soon.  Mrs Henderson gives this special award at the end of every term.  The children who get this award always give their very very best.  They try hard, give things a go, and show they care about their learning.

In E6 the student who gives their very very best and shows excellence in all that they do is ...

Yusra!

Tino Pai Yusra! 

We are so proud of you.

We think you deserve Mrs Henderson's special 

Principal's Award.

You are have such a positive attitude towards learning, 

and you are so fantastic at giving your 

very very best...always!

Well done to all the super star learners in E6 who have just finished their very first term at school!  What amazing learning adventures we have had so far! We all deserve a happy easter, a big rest and a fun holiday

 I wonder what adventures we will have at school in Term 2?

Counting Backwards

We have been learning to count backwards in E6.    We know that counting backwards means taking numbers away.

We have been learning to start counting backwards from any given number.  We can count backwards from 10, and some of us can count backwards from 20 or a bit higher.  Starting at a different number is a challenge!

This week we made 'count down' rockets.  We cut out the numbers and had to glue them in the right order to make our rockets blast off.  Look at our clever counting....

This week our super star student award goes to Lohita ...

Lohita is so responsible.  She takes care of her belongings and tidies them away, and she loves to look after our classroom equipment.   Lohita is a star at getting ready for learning activities. Before we even blink she is at the table with all the right tools that she needs!

Bubbles Bubbles Bubbles!

We have been learning all about brilliant letter Bb.    
This week we read a story about bubbles that we took home to read with our families.   We did some bubble blowing and some writing about bubbles.  Come and have a look... 


Today we went outside and blew some bubbles.  We put some warm water and some bubbly liquid into a plastic cup.  

We used a straw to blow the bubbles up to the top of our cup.  

 We blew some big bubbles...

"Bubbles are so pretty" said Afreen.

We blew some little bubbles too!

 It was tricky remembering to blow through the straw instead of sucking!  We had to concentrate!

"My bubbles are fluffy" said Riddhika.

"This is the most fun day at school ever!" said Michael

 We had lots of fun blowing bubbles.  We had a great time together and laughed a lot.

Our bubbles made us feel happy!

We watched some of our bubbles float up into the sky... some bubbles went over the classroom and over the fence!

Next we went back into our classroom and drew some pictures and wrote some stories about our beautiful bubbles.  

Come and read our brilliant bubbles story writing!
