Introducing the A1 Team 2012

Hi everyone 'Welcome to A1's blog site for 2012.In our class there are 28 Year 5 and 6 children. Our current study topic for this term is 'Keeping Safe'. We will be looking at 'Cyber Safety' as our main focus. We have a diverse of cultures in our class- Chinese, Korean, Fijian, Indian, Cook Islands, Maori and European. We also have a few special needs children in our class & I am always pleased with the way that all children show a caring nature & are accepting of others. Next week we will be having our school Athletic champs so we have been training hard-out for this. We have some awesome sports talent in our class. We have also been enjoying swimming sessions in our school pool and were lucky to have had Erin from Swim NZ in to help us improve our techniques. This week we are involved in a Cycle Safety unit with Sport BOP. Already there have been improvements noted in our cycling skills & 4 children who couldn't ride, can now- wahoo!! Something else we have been working on is 'Managing our Impulsivity' & we now have some good strategies to follow in the class. We are looking forward to updating our blogs with our new learnings, so watch this space. We look forward to your great feedback.
