Old McDonald's farm visit

We enjoyed getting to pat the animals. Thank-you to Mata our king social worker who organised this for our Leabank junior children.

Term 2, 2018

I hope everyone had a restful 2 weeks now it's back to school and learning. This term our Topic is Kitchen Chemistry where we will be exploring concepts such as melting, dissolving and melting. In Maths we will be finding out about measuring such as weight, volume, and length. Then we will be covering Number like putting numbers in order and finding the number before or after. For PE we will be doing small ball skills, gymnastics, fitness circuits, and cross-country training. In Art, we will be learning to paint.

We have a couple of new students in Room 1 and would like to welcome Lincoln and Vai who joined us towards the end of Term 1. Now Vai and Fuia have joined Room 1 this term. I hope that they are enjoying getting to know Leabank School and Room 1.

Duffy Show

Yesterday we enjoyed watching the Duffy Show. They told us about bullying and that it's not nice to be mean. We learnt to stand up to bullies and to tell people if someone is bullying you!

Tidy kiwis

Today the rubbish truck empied the bin but the wind blew lots of rubbish around, so we were tidy kiwis and picked up the rubbish!

Harold the Giraffe and Carleen visit us

We learnt about good and bad feelings. We also talked about what to do when we are upset.

Ordering numbers to 20

Today we had to put numbers in order from 0 to 20. Some of us worked very quickly and did this well (JJ, Mereana, William, Izzu to name the first few).
