Welcome to school BBQ

Thank you to the students and families that came along to our 2013 Welcome to School BBQ. It was nice to meet some whanau in a relaxed setting! The children all seemed to enjoy the bouncy castle and the lovely warm evening.

Our super-duper classroom

In the school holidays Mrs Derrick gave Room 7 a mini-makeover. Here is what it currently looks like.

Writers table, reading den and library shelf.

Our visit from Sue and Mr Potato Head

On Thursday our class was visited by Sue Rhind. She showed us how some children and adults wear hearing aids or wear a speech processor to help them hear. She dressed up Mr Potato Head and we told her that Mr Potato Head needed eyes to see, a nose to smell, a mouth to taste and ears to hear. When someone can't hear well, they sometimes need to wear hearing aids, and Mr Potato Head had his own. Then she showed us Cochlear Bear who had a cochlear implant just like our friend Anise has.

 Sue read us a story about Millie the Elephant who was also born deaf.

We've started school!

Welcome to Room 7.

We have just started our class blog. Here are some of the students in our classroom this year.

We are excited to learn about the computers and ICT equipment in our classroom.
