We are a Year 1 class at Nelson Central School, Nelson, New Zealand. Most of us are 5 years old,
except for our teachers, Tracy and Sam and our teacher aide, Victoria, who are a little older. This blog lets you know what we
have been up to and what our next learning steps will be. We love to find out what people
think about our class so please get typing and leave us a comment.

Week 2 Term 1

In Week 2 we began our maths topic on Statistics by making pictograms showing the different colours of hats and home packs in our class.



Later on we practised our new skills by making pictograms of different types of insects.

In art we printed apples as part of our work on the sound 'a'.


We practiced the tricky words 'to' and 'I' in many different ways.


On Wednesday afternoon we had great fun having a taster session run by kelly Sports.




On Thursday the milk monitors from Year 6 showed us how to fold our milk cartons so they can be recycled and reused to make roof tiles for homes in the 3rd World.

To help strengthen our fingers and develop our fine motor skills for writing we practised popping the bubbles on bubble wrap..very calming for us all!

We also worked on our fine motor skills by finger painting our names. Have a look at the display in the class entrance and visit the Room 10 Kidzstuff Blog using the link to the right of this page to see your child's own work.


In Discovery Time in Week 1 we focused on 'including others.' 

This week we worked on 'taking turns', both these skills which are part of the 'Relating to Other's' key competency.
