Welcome to the new entrant, year 1 class. We are a teaching team in Endeavour, with Mrs Belinda Duncan and Miss Alana Oldham.
We currently have 15 children in our class and a fine looking bunch we are too!! We are looking forward to welcoming more friends when they turn 5! All children in Endeavour participate in the "Early words programme" with teacher aides Miss Foster and Ms Ryan. Dragon Hunting
Endeavour class was playing in the sheep paddock together. We all went dragon hunting in the forest. We thought we saw a dragon with a long tail. Mrs. Duncan brought a cage to school, we put bread in the cage. We put the cage in the woods to try and catch the dragon. Later, Mrs. Duncan saw a real dragon in the cage, we had caught it! Mrs. Duncan brought the dragon inside. We all peeked in the cage to see the dragon. The dragon had transformed into a toy! Music and Movement
We have been learning about folk dances and playing instruments to music. In this picture, we are learning the “Window Dance”. 
Term 1 was very busy and exciting as we worked hard not only in class but in training for our Triathlon. Other highlights were going for a swim everyday where we learnt water safety skills,having a visit from Ruben the Road Safety Bear, and visiting the Tahuna Fire Station.

Letter P
We have been learning about the ’’p’’ sound and words that start with the letter p. We were very lucky to have Mrs. B bring in her puppies during our lesson. 
Spelling
We have been learning to spell our names. 
|
We learnt about the word 'am' and 'am family' words. These are words like ham, ram and jam. Because of this we made jam sandwiches! we practiced using our fine motor skills by spreading the jam on the bread. Then we made a word bank and learnt about nouns, verbs and adjectives.
