Writing letter 'Ee'

Peiten has been learning to write the letter 'e' correctly. He uses little white board and a white board marker to do this. I teach Peiten a story that associates with letter 'e' and that helps him to form the letter correctly. Peiten makes a line first and then a semi-circle and that is how he writes letter 'e'.

Sivi on the other hand is learning to write the letter 'e' using this: draw a letter 'c' and then make a line from the top end to the middle of the letter 'c'. Sivi finds it easier to follow this instruction than the one Peiten is comfortable with.

Well done to both of you!

Safety - From Room 1

Constable Jude visited us for the second time, and she talked to us about being safe in a car. After a long talk in class we went out to the Police car for demonstrations.

We all went into the police car and she showed us how to buckle the seat belt and how to sit on a booster seat. It is more safe on a booster seat than sitting on the car seat with the seat belt on. We found out that at our age, we still need to sit on either a car seat or a booster seat until we are seven years old or until we are very tall. 

Thank you Constable Jude for helping us to know all these things. We are going to share it with our parents and the rest of our whanau.
