OOPS! For next term, when the current Room 9 move into Room 6....The current Room 6 will move down to work in Room 13. Miss Herbert will be teaching in Room 9 with the current Room 8 students, leaving Room free for the new entrants and me! Clear as mud...I will be talking about this with you during the next few weeks. Have a great week. See you at learning conferences.

Week 8 and learning conference time. We have been working hard with our preparation for these. The children are excited and a little nervous as the time approaches. I think they will be great. You will be able to hear all the great learning that has been happening since the last conferences. 

There are changes in store for the Room 9 students next term. I will be moving to Room 8 to start a new, New Entrant class, as I did this time last year with your guys. Jenn Victor is leaving to head to China, so her position has been advertised and we will be employing a new teacher. The new teacher will teach the current Room 9 students in Room 6 and Amy Herbert, who is back from maternity leave next term, will take most of the current Room 8 students to Room 13.

So all go ahead for the rest of this term and then into next. Lots of our room are heading to turning 6 so it's exciting times.

Great cross country. Way to go Tui and Braden and all the others in Room 9. You guys did a great job. I am proud of you all. It's great to see kids strive for excellence.

Looking forward to another great week with our learning in Room 9

Week 5 of the term. The time is racing by and we are moving quickly towards our learning conferences that the children are already excited about. We are continuing to work on writing recounts and our reading is going well. At maths we are into our number unit and building on the knowledge to help us with addition and subtraction. We have been collecting information about what helps us to learn and we will be able to share this with you at the learning conferences. The cross country races are on this wednesday. The children are certainly a lot fitter than when we started and can keep running for longer distances....go SHEPPARD!!!!

Hi

Thanks Kirsten for your comment!! Great that you have responded. Tui might like to write something for us on the blog.

Next week we will continue with recount writing. We are becoming more successful with sequencing our recount.

For maths, we will be working on our number understanding. We want to be able to count to forwards and backwards to 20 then 50 then 100. We also need to be able to say what comes before and after any number to 20/50/ quickly.

We are busy collecting information to help us answer the big question What helps us learn. Send along any useful books or websites that we could use. 

Thanks.

More Golden Time fun in Room 9!!! I am learning to add photos to my blog.

Wow!!!! Look at Room 9 enjoying Golden Time.

This week in Room 9 we will be continuing to work on writing recounts. This is where children recount an event or experience they have had. We are starting more number work in maths. The children are building understanding of numbers to 100. We will be working on basic addition and subtraction facts as well. Our topic...finding out about what helps us to learn will continue. I hope you have been in to the book fair to have  a look.

I have started this as part of my IT learning. I thought it would be a good place for Room 9 to share some learning as well as a way to keep you informed.
