Eloise

=1/3/2012 =

Eloise predicted that the children would go to the beach before reading her story today. She was so surprised to see she was right as we read through the book. Well done Eloise.
=15/3/2012 - We are learning to write a description.= ====Weka have been writing descriptions. Here is Eloise's work she has published. I am sorry that some of it is hard to see, the light was not great when I took the photos. Feel free to come into class and the real work up on the wall. It is always much better in person.====

=21/3/2012 BIG IDEA - CHANGE IN OUR COMMUNITY - WHY THE PAST IS IMPORTANT TO PEOPLE= ====We have looked a lot at the past and present this term. Looking at the buildings around Waikari and trying to understand why looking after things that are old is important to people in our community. All the Wekas had to come up with a question about the building they had chosen. Once we decided on our questions we invited a range of people from our community in to talk with us. We found out some very interesting things about our community. Here is Eloise asking her question to Mr Kemp.====

=26/3/2012= ====Every term we focus on one of the school's PRIDE values. This term we have been looking at respect. How we show respect to other people, to ourselves and our things. Today we talked again about what we can do to show respect and had some time to show some of the skills we have been working on. Eloise is learning all the routines we have at school. Sometimes it can take her a lot longer to finish things, which is o.k. In this photo she is showing respect by finishing her handwriting first before moving onto her next task. Well done Eloise, it is important to respect other people by finishing the task you have been asked to do.====

=27/3/2012= ====Every term we focus on one of the school's PRIDE values. This term we have been looking at respect. How we show respect to other people, to ourselves and our things. Today we talked again about what we can do to show respect and had some time to show some of the skills we have been working on. Eloise is learning to show respect by taking turns in structured activities. She is showing this by taking turns to put the pegs in with Emma. Well done Eloise.====

=27/4/2012= ====Eloise has been working very hard over the holidays. She now knows all her yellow and green sight words. Well done Eloise. Next step is to learn the orange words, then start spelling some of those yellow words. You are so clever!====
