On the 25 of April  we had some men from the local RSA visit Ashley school for ANZAC day.

For the first week of school we were doing ANZAC posters.

Here are some.

Today is the last day of school before the Easter Holidays. We would like to wish you all a happy Holiday. Mrs Tipping thanks all her class for being so wonderful this term.

K.O.S

Recently Room 1 have been learning about Keeping Ourselves Safe a.k.a K.O.S.
We even got lucky enough to get a visit from Constable Ken an Educational Police Officer.
We have been doing many interesting activities about different types of abuse and stress related feelings.
We even watch some videos and were read some stories. Constable Ken will be coming again on Thursday.

North Canterbury Boys

Room 1 have been learning about striking and fielding with the North Canterbury team. Most of the time we have Fraser and Stacy. Last Thursday they taught us about Cricket, the first game we did was Gate Cricket.
Here are some pictures:

Literacy circles

Room 1 have been doing literacy circles. If you don't know what literacy circles are, they are a group of  6 people who are all reading the same book. Some of the books we've been reading are:

 The Magician's Elephant
Juggling with Mandarins 
Bridge to Terabethia   At the Lake
Holes
The Wolf in the Wardrobe
Almabama Moon.

We all have different roles and tasks to complete before we meet.  We have a director who is in charge, and then discuss the part of the book we have been reading.
                       
Here are some pictures of us enjoying our literacy circles:
