Our Stories About People We Love

Room 1's Happy Tree

The Happy Tree

Did you know that there are several things in life that contribute to our happiness? According to William Glasser they are

Love and Belonging, 

Power ( the knowledge that there are things we can do well) 

Freedom (The ability to make choices) 

Fun and of course 

Survival (Health and Safety).

We are learning about these things in a simple way through a puppet character called 

"Do-It". He visits us sometimes and discusses things that make us happy.

Who Wants to be a Meanie?

WE DON"T!!

Meanies all do mean things

We have enjoyed reading this funny book and we have made our own Meanies Mural. Come and see it!

Room 1 Signs the Treaty

On Wednesday our class made up some rules and we called them a treaty. We had a signing ceremony, complete with the NZ flag, National Anthem and feather pen. We invited Mr Parsons to attend. The children have a poem about the treaty in their poem books. You will be able to hear them read it when they bring their books home for weekend reading. We also read a book called "The Tree Hut Treaty".
