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 4 Term 4

Once again we have had some very interesting news items brought into to share this week, including money from all around the world and a great example of how hives are made up of hexagonal shapes.

During reading rotations we have been practicing our story writing and use of key words by working on the picture writing cards.
 There have also been some super creations made during the small world rotation activity.

Our collaborative skills were in full swing during maths games this week.

On Wednesday some more Room 5 buddies spent a session with us homing our Lego Movie skills that we had started to acquire last week. When you look at the Discovery Time slide show for this week you will see how we were able to make our own animations independently. Thank you Room 5, you were great teachers!
The sunshine encouraged lots of creative play outside and also allowed us to have milk outside. Well done to all those children who are being sun safe by having a hat at school everyday.

This week in No Child Left Inside we continued to work on our high jump skills, having great fun jumping onto the big mat.
