Winter Fun Ice skating

What a fabulous day we all had at the Alpine Ice rink.

We had so much fun with our friends and whānau.

The coaches really looked after us in our lessons and we learned how to fall over safely and to move like Penguins across the ice!

We all want to come back with our whānau again please!

Digi is as Digi does!

We are loving learning how to logon and log off our devices, how to follow our Kawa of Care for our iPads.

We are navigating on Sunshine Classics and Maths Whizz to use our own programmes and learn about heaps of different topics.

We share our results with our whānau and use both programmes at home too!

We are learning to self-manage devices and earphones too!

Role-Play at it's Best!

As part of the Experience-Play Based Learning in our New Entrants class, we really enjoy choosing our Role-Play themes.

We have got an awesome Castle area that we use to turn into whatever we want!  It has been a Vet's Clinic, Travel Agents, Supermarket, Restaurant, Post Office, WOF station, Garden Centre and Space Centre to name a few!

This time we have chosen to change it into our 'Construction Castle' and as you can see from the photos we have got lots of awesome cool new stuff to role-play with!

Site managers and visitors must all wear high-vis jackets and sign in! Tool kits, hard hats and superb construction kits to help us learn together!

Fun times ahead for sure - mind your head :)

Numicon in Week 3 :)

We have discovered that we are all amazing 'Mathematicians' in Te Kākano class and Numicon is proving to be a fabulous resource to help us problem solve and discuss maths with our friends.

We have loved making totals and equivalents with the Numicon and showing how we understand them!

We have used lots of number in our play around class too!

Enjoy our handiwork - we ARE YMS HERO's :)




Welcome back to Term 3 Everyone

Kia ora everyone!

Term 3 is underway and we have got so many lovely things to celebrate already!

Our Mihi whākatau was held to welcome our newest akōnga to Yaldhurst :)
