Term Topic: Money
Kia Ora everyone, and welcome back to PCS after a lovely 2 week break. This term we will be looking at the topic of 'money' and developing the children's financial literacy.
If you'd like to be more involved with your child in this then have a look at the ideas below!
- Show your child different coins and currency that you might have with you. What do the different colours mean?
- Let your child hand money to a cashier and talk about the change you get back.
-Look at food receipts with your child and figure out how much everything cost.
-Practice using 'niceties' when shopping such as saying, please, thank you and excuse me to retail staff.
On Monday we set up Room 16 as a supermarket and labelled all of our items depending on how much value the children felt they had. We had some interesting ideas! My favourite was certainly that our classroom television cost only 6 dollars.
We dressed up as shop keepers and customers then shopped around for items in the classroom. We had to make sure we had to right amount of money, and that we were responsible and looked after it carefully!
Check out our pictures below :)

LCS Discovery - Maui and the Ika
Many of you will have seen the brilliant matau that the children came home with this weekend. You might remember that a couple of weeks ago we were investigating Maui and the ika- the story of how Maui stuck aboard his brother's waka and caught the giant ika using a matau created from jawbone. It has taken us a while because we wanted to try our best, but our matau are finally complete and you can see the picture of us all holding them below. We are very proud of ourselves!
Well done Room 16!

Reward time: Respect (Manakitanga)
At PCS we look at the 4 key PB4L features. As we settle back into school we have been focusing on the feature of being respectful. The children identified this as actions such as taking turns, listening to each other, not shouting out, and being careful around their friends.
The reward we decided upon was to have a class picnic! We knew we had to be super careful of germs, especially right now, so we had separate cups and plates. We remembered to wash our hands and our teachers and teaching aides helped give us food using gloves.
We were also lucky enough to share our jump jam time with RM15 and their teacher Mrs Andrews. Jump jam is important in getting our bodies moving. Even if we find it tricky we always try our best! Have a look at our pictures of us dancing and enjoying our well earned picnic!
Enjoy the long weekend everyone.
Love Miss Rayner

Maths Madness
Kia Ora everyone,
we have had a great first week back and have had lots of time to discover our new classroom and all of the exciting bits inside of it! This week we have been exploring our maths' drawers which have lots of activities in, designed to further both our maths' knowledge and some of our key competencies such as managing self, and communicating with others.
Have a look below at our super pictures!
Have a great weekend, and I will see you all on Monday.
Love Miss Rayner

Week 2 Day 5: Make your own uniform day
How funny to see everyone in their 'own uniforms' this morning on the chat. We saw Rara and Miss Nickie dressed as Spiderman and Luke dressed as an awesome superhero. We also saw some funky and colorful outfits from Mary, Jayni and Jayna, and Lennox. I loved that Robert's top had a cool lizard on it today too and that Annabelle did an awesome job wearing her PCS school uniform!
Have a look below at Miss Rayner's 'make your own uniform' that she was wearing this morning and if you can, send in a picture of the uniforms you made this morning and we can put them on the blog. My uniform had a dressing gown, a pajama top, a pajama bottom, and a pair of fluffy slippers. It's keeping me very warm whilst we work from home! What will yours look like?
Have a great Friday everyone. :)
Love from Miss Rayner and Mrs Bond
