Haere mai, Welcome to Room 12

Kia ora Whanau, Dear Parents of Room 12 Students,

I am thinking of you all and wishing you all a safe journey during this extraordinary time.

Below is useful daily work for Room 12 students while we are staying at home:

1. Practise writing letters - upper case and lower case, especially those we have covered to date -
    Ss, Aa, Tt, Pp, Nn, Cc, Kk, Ee, Hh.

2. Make objects beginning with these letters (use lego, blocks, playdough, cardboard).

3. Count forwards and backwards 1 to 20. Mix it up. Ask for the numbers before and after a given number. 

4. Discuss the properties of many different shapes - how many sides, corners? Make patterns with shapes.

5. Draw a picture about something that is happening in your family life,With support write a one sentence story about your picture.

6. Keep a family diary. Discuss.

7. Involve children in home tasks - baking, measuring, cleaning, making beds, looking after pets.

8. Do a daily act of kindness.

9. Read books, share stories.

10. Express your feelings and listen with care to your family.

Arohanui,
