Fill a bucket!

What we do or say to others can help 'fill their bucket' and make them feel good!  Check out this link to the story we shared.  Have you filled a bucket today?

Welcome!

Welcome back to 2013! We are excited to return to school to our new classroom, all eager to get learning! We are already welcoming new school visitors to our class each week. What a great bunch of leaders we will have showing the new children the ropes! I will aim to put up some links to games over the next week or two that are a fun way to practice literacy and numeracy skills at home, so come back and visit our blog soon! 

Here is a poem we had fun with in week 1. Can you say the maori command that matches the picture?  
E Tu!
E tu, stand up
E Noho, sit down
E moe, go to sleep
Ka pai, choice!
E oho, wake up
E tu, stand up
Kani kani, lets jive...
Ka pai, choice!
