Secret Santa

Secret Santa!

Another part of Incredible Room I’s celebration was Secret Santa.

The children had to bring along a five dollar gift to give to a person in the class. The children pulled a name out of a box to find out who they were buying for. The children could not tell anyone who they bought their gift for, but brought it along this last week of school to put under the Christmas tree.

Today, Wednesday, we all sat around together and were able to open our gifts to each other. The children guessed who they ‘thought’ their gift was from and then opened their present. At the end of the opening of all gifts the children then found who they gave their present to and told them.

All of the presents were AMAZING! It was wonderful to see so many children thinking carefully about who they were giving their gift to and actually buying something that was suited to the gift receiver.

The Wishing Well!

The wishing well cake!

A big thank you to Leonie (Alex’s Mum) for the wonderful wishing well cake we received today!

The cake looked and tasted AMAZING! We all loved it and especially the message behind the cake- wishing us all well for our futures (Whatever they may be)

Here is what it looked like…

Xmas Celebration!

Room I’s Christmas Celebration!

To finish the year Room I celebrated by decorating Christmas tree shaped cookies that were made by Miss Kyle. They were delicious and fun to create as a class.

The children got to decide whether they used Red or Green icing. They then selected pebbles, white chocolate writing icing and sprinkles to decorate their cookie to make it look like a decorated Christmas tree.

It was such a fun way to end the year and I know all the children enjoyed the reward and celebration time as a class.

To the children of Incredible Room I:

A note to parents:

Thank you to all the wonderful parents who worked with me throughout the year. If it was to help take children on trips, brought in items to use throughout the year or even those that just came in for a chat every now and then I really appreciate all you do!

The children participated in mini golf in Feilding, Tenpin bowling, played on the esplanade playground and went swimming in Palmerston North.

Swim For Life

Swim for Life

Throughout Term 4 Room I have been participating in the Sea Lord Swim for Life programme. The children go to the Makino pools Wednesday and Thursday’s each week to work with some wonderful swimming instructors.

The children have been learning how to swim for survival. They have been working on swimming in clothes, with life jackets and learning how to pull others to safely using a range of devices.

Room I have thoroughly been enjoying the programme. Here are some photos of the children completing a range of activities in the pool.
