Well we were all go in Pikopiko today! We had a very busy, fun day with lots of activities going on. As you will have read in our update letter we have a brand new programme which means we are doing all our core learning before lunch. This is all a bit different and everyone in the team is to be congratulated on all their hard work today! Here we are doing lots of learning during reading time in each of the three spaces:
After lunch we have started a new oral language programme to help us build lots of skills like our confidence, our fluency and the way we form sounds. We warmed up by watching a video that helped us exercise our mouths and tongues! If you want to try at home you can see it here: 2 Minute Mouths. Here we are practising:
We also played a fun game called the Random Word Game. Pikopiko children - how about inviting someone in your family to play this with you tonight? Can you make them laugh? Leave us a comment if you had some funny names for things!
Finally this afternoon we started an art project. The first step was to draw a skyline based on the Port Hills all around us. We headed outside to look at them for inspiration, then did some wonderful colouring with pastels. We'll be working on these over the next week or so :)
See you all for another fun day tomorrow! Don't forget school photos in the morning and PMP in the afternoon :) For reminders about the week, see the new space on the right of the blog where we'll update any events happening.
I really love your classroom pikopiko. From grandma (kayla's grandma)
