Have a Happy Easter

We worked hard all day in the hope that the Easter Bunny would come to visit us.  We waited and waited.  He didn't come in the morning, and he didn't come after morning tea.  We still worked hard but he didn't come after lunch.  We looked for him hoping he would be near.  Just before home time we went out to search for him.  We couldn't find him so played a game instead. 
When we returned to class we were surprised to see some glitter on the floor.  We followed the trail to a letter written by the Easter Bunny saying how sorry he was to  miss us. 

Thank you Easter Bunny!

Hope you all have a safe and happy Easter with your loved ones.

See you at school on Wednesday.

Special Terrific Person and Values Person Week 8

Fantastic job EM for being our Super Terrific Person this week, for focusing on her work which is helping with her writing and reading.  BL has shown Respect for others this week and deserves the Values Leaf for room 10.

Counting to Ten and beyond.

We have been learning to count to 20 which of course we can do.  We are now learning to recognise the numbers to 20 and learn what number comes before and after up to 20.

We are so clever!!

(There is only 16 of us which is why the biggest number in our photo is 16)

Peer Mediation

Botany Downs primary is a Cool School. 

Today, we had a visit from two of our Peer Mediators.  These are some year 6 children who walk around at morning tea and lunch time, wearing special blue jackets.  If you have a problem that needs solving between friends you can ask the Peer Mediators to help you.

Our  Peer Mediators talked about what to do and then acted out a little scene that might occur in the playground.  We talked about using the 'I' Statement.

In pairs we practised using the 'I' Statement.

 Some of us then showed the rest of the class what to do if we have a problem.

 Thankfully, we resolved the problem and are happy to be friends again!

Be Safe in an Earthquake!

On Sunday 17th March - St Patrick's Day at around 4.00pm, Auckland experienced two earthquakes.  Most of us felt this.  We talked about safety during an earthquake and what to do.  Fortunately, most of us knew just what to do and helped each other to...

DROP! COVER! HOLD ON! 



Do you know what to do in an earthquake?
