Haere mai, Welcome to Room 12

Kia ora Whanau, Dear Parents of Room 12 Students,

Now it is the start of Term 2 2020... 

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.
Important activities are highlighted below in purple-:

1. Practise writing letters on paper - upper case and lower case, especially those we have covered to date -
Ss, Aa, Tt, Pp, Nn, Cc, Kk, Ee, Hh. Now add Mm (Week 1)
​Uu (Week 2) Ll (Week 3) Ff (Week 4) and Bb (Week 5). Find pictures in magazines or draw things that start with these letters.

​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. Add on to a given number.

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

5. Draw or paint a picture about something that is happening in your bubble or on tv. With support write a one sentence story about your picture.

6. Keep a daily diary. This can be in a picture and/or words.      Discuss.

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

8. Complete a daily act of kindness.

9. Read books, share stories.
