This week in Community One we have been learning about being ACTIVE Warkworth students.  Each of the letters in the word ACTIVE represents a value that we as students at Warkworth School are demonstrating when we work and play.

So far we have learnt that

A stands for ADVENTUROUS

C is for COLLABORATIVE

T is for THOUGHTFUL






When we are adventurous we get to put a grasshopper in our ACTIVE GARDEN, when we are collaborative we add a bee and for being thoughtful we add a butterfly. 

This week we will learn about being INNOVATIVE, VALUED and EMPOWERED.

We have also looked at collecting, displaying and talking about data in Mathematics.  Here are some of our graphs and displays.

In Mrs Jollivet's literacy group we read a shared story "In the Garden" and painted a part of the story to make a wall display.  We also have some writing in response to the text which you can look at in the Community.



On Friday we had ACTION STATIONS where the children got to choose different activities to explore.  Some of us enjoyed being able to play in the Homeroom, Construction Cave and Library while others took part in the craft stations set up by Mrs Quinn and Whaea Melanie which were making Rainbow Clouds and Ice-block stick dragonflies.

WOW a busy week, but an excellent one.  I wonder what we will be learning about next week...

It has been a wonderful week in Community One.  So lovely to meet the new children and their families and to welcome back some of the children who were with us towards the end of last year.  A big congratulations to all the children for being positive about being at school and putting lots of effort into learning the routines and enjoying the learning experiences.

Here are some snapshots of our week:
