A Special Visitor

Miss Kerse came to see us today. Otago schools all had Anniversary Day to she was free to visit us. It was great to see her and to share our reading and writing with her. We saw photos of her school in Alexandra and the children in her class. We all miss Miss Kerse because she was such a fun teacher so it was great to catch up with her.

Friday is Discovery Day

 We have Discovery time every Friday. Sometimes we have it in our class and sometimes we have it with Rooms 1, 2 and 3. We love Discovery. We get to choose what we want to do. We learn about getting on with other people, managing ourselves and sharing, as well as cleaning up.
Sometimes we have a theme. This picture relates to the theme of aeroplanes: some of us made planes, some of us tried to fly them, some of us pretended we were travelling on a plane. It was great fun.

Museum Trip

Last week we got to go on a walk around the centre of Timaru. We were EXPLORING our own town. We had great fun on the trip.

We found out that this is where the first house was built in Timaru. The house isn't there any more but there is a plaque on the wall to remember it.

Welcome to our Blog

Here we are! Room 13, Highfield School, Timaru, New Zealand.

We are a class of 6 and 7 year olds who really enjoy the fun things we get to do at Highfield School.

Our school is going to be 50 years old this year. Pretty special, aye?
