Room 14
Kia Ora,
Welcome to Room 14, Term 3, 2024.
We are a fun and energetic group of 16, Year 1 students. In Room 14 we have a strong emphasis on literacy and numeracy. We are using the Better Start Literacy Approach to develop our phonological awareness and literacy skills.
Our teacher is Mrs Smith.
Join us as we capture a year full of fun learning.
Term 4: Room 14 and our school enviro group welcomed new chicks to your school. Room 14 got to look after them for the 1st two weeks. They got lot's of cuddles. Both mother chooks were great and let the children handle their babies.
Our day old chicks and chickens (in the box) are being read by Room 14 as one of the students rotations in reading time.
Now the chicks are in their outside enclosure being fully looked after by their mothers.
Lunch time activity
