Read Along to Ready to Read Stories

Room 1 enjoys listening to and reading these stories during our reading time in class.
Please enjoy these stories together.

Super Songs

Room 1 uses music and songs in our classroom learning for everythings from counting, learning our sounds to shaking out the fidgets. Check out our favourite songs in the links below so you can join in with your childs learning. We especially love "gonoodle" where we learn to dance.

Blog Guidelines for Parents / Caregivers

Blog Guidelines for Parents / Caregivers
Our class blog is a way for us to share our learning with other people. It is very important that we understand how to use the blog and the internet in a safe way.
The following guidelines are in place to ensure the safety of our students when blogging.
  • Photos, examples of work and first names, of class members may be displayed in this blog. Some children may choose to use a blogging nickname instead of their first name for added privacy. Last names, addresses and other personal details will never be used.
  • Parents who leave comments are asked not to use last names either. (Please post comments as “Tara’s mum” or “Ben’s koro”, etc.)
  • All comments submitted will be approved by the teacher before they are included on the blog. You are encouraged to comment directly to the children, asking them questions about their learning.
  • Proof-read your comments carefully. Students should have a family member check for spelling mistakes before submitting a comment.
  • Everyone in the class is encouraged and given time to write blog entries and comments. They are welcome to do this at home as well, with parent support. All posts need to be approved by the teacher before they are seen online. Posts will go through edits and revisions before the teacher posts them.
  • Always write in full sentences and words – we want to model a high standard of writing to the children.


If you have any other questions or comments about the security of our blog, please contact the teacher. We hold your children’s safety online as a high priority.
