Term 2 starts! Welcome back everyone!

Kia ora and welcome back to Term 2! We have had a wonderful first week with lots of interesting play!

We also have welcomed 3 new children to Room 2!



Nau mai, haere mai ki te akomanga rua!
These new children have done an amazing job settling into our class, following our routines, developing independency by looking after their belonging and managing themselves, and lots of playing!







It has been amazing to watch children develop their own play. It seems like they just could not wait to come back to school to just explore! 
It started with building counting blocks, the children kept making it longer and longer, it event went outside! 



Our new reading corner is well uterlised and the children love spending time here, reading, playing with the dolls and the doll house. It provides a place for a little bit of privacy for our children which is important as their play is respected. 



We have had a few days of lovely sunny days, why not spend lots of time outside?! 
Children enjoyed building with big blocks to see how tall they could build by working together. They also enjoyed drawing with chalk on the concrete. Some of them made their own hopscotch games. 





Some girls loved being puppies, they made their own kennels by using chairs and pieces of fabric. 



Children always enjoy playing with playdough which provides opportunities for creativity, conversations, story-making, fine-motor skills, and collaboration with others. 




It seems like children have really enjoyed the first week back at school. Our children have been so kind to the new children, showing them around in class and school, teaching what we do, and being amazing friends. I am so proud of all of our children in Room 2! What an awesome class we have!!!!
