At the End of the Day

We have been learning how to be a good friend and how to be a caring member of our classroom. We have learned about many different types of feelings and how our words can make people feel sad or happy.  We read the story At the End of the Day by Trish Puharich and learned about Room One at Henderson Valley School and their massage circle. It sounded like a great way to finish the day so we tried it. We especially liked the idea that everyone needs at least five hugs a day.

Amazing Calendars

We have been creating beautiful works of art based on Monet's Flower painting. We used chalk pastel, black vivid and pva glue to make our pictures. Calendar orders are due early next term, Wednesday October 16th. I think these would make beautiful cards.

Feelings

This week we have been learning about different feelings. We have been acting out different situations and thinking about the feelings we might experience.

Friendship Flowers

We have been learning about friendship one of God's great gifts and how to make our friends feel special. Our poem this week is about being a friend and we made friendship flowers to give away to a friend in our class. When we look at our flower it reminds us that we have lots of friends that care about us in Rata.

PMP

We have been really enjoying our PMP sessions this term. There are over 100 stations that Mrs James sets up for us over the year and it helps us develop our listening, memory and movement skills.
