Here are our Home Groups - photos taken by Marcus, Laura and Mitchell

Debbie's Home Group

In our Home Group we have been talking about friendship and our school values. We have also been reading lots of special books that we have brought from home. We have a special show and tell bag. Everyday one person brings something special from home to share with our home group. We also have a special friend called Oscar the Bear who is in our Home Group. He likes going home to our houses. He has a special journal that we write in and share at Home Group time.

Kylie's Home Group

Our Home Group enjoys playing different games like ‘Whispers’, ‘Winking’ and ‘Buzz’. We’ve already been lucky enough to celebrate some of our classmate’s birthdays this year and look forward to celebrating the rest as the year progresses.

Jane's Home Group

We have Home Group every morning and just before we head for home in the afternoon. During these times we love playing quick little games like, 'statues' and 'follow the leader'. Getting together is great fun because we can share our celebrations and discuss any important things as a group. We are looking forward to sending our Home Group mascot home early next term.

Lois's Home Group

During Home Group time we have been discussing ‘what makes a good friend.’ We have been talking about how to play together and how to include others in our games. Our Home Group Sharing Bag is being taken home by one child each night and they are bringing back a toy to share with us the next school day. Later on this term, our Home Group mascot will begin to visit our homes and enjoy completing activities with us.

Rob's Home Group

In our home group we discuss what we are looking forward to about the day to come. At the end of that day we reflect on new things that we learnt and enjoyed. We have a weather person each morning who reports the weather forecast for the day. We remind ourselves of the school values, the importance they have and to make sure they are being displayed at all times. We play a maths guessing game on the white board as often as we can to make our time together fun.
