Welcome to Term 3! Day One!

We had a fantastic first day back at school, and for 7 of our students it was their very first day at Wainui Beach School!

We began our day by being formally welcomed by the school with a powhiri in the hall. The school sang two waiata to us all.

Writing Time!  Cory, Momo, Cornelia, Rori, Stormur, Cash and Oska learnt about the words I & am. They did some cut up stories and drew a picture in their books. They took their books down to show Mrs Andrew in her office.

Mrs Andrew read our stories with us and wrote a welcome message under our work.

Ivy, Mia, Te Atawhai and Millie wrote sentences that had I went... in them. They wrote about one fun thing they did during the holidays. Playing in the snow was a popular choice. Here they are with their awesome work.

Casey Caterpillar Handwriting Formation! 

We listened to the story of Casey Caterpillar. We drew our pictures of the tree branches on our mini whiteboards. We practised forming the shape of her open mouth to correctly write the letter c. We tried hard to sit our caterpillars on the branch.

We worked hard to make sure we started our letter in the right place. We did a great job!
