- 1. Welcome to Room 7 Lyndi Barrett – lbarrett@kohi.school.nz
- 2. Introduction The purpose of this evening – to inform you of how Room 7 & Cowley team are run. Year 2 class 19 students. I group the children for reading, maths, writing & spelling from the NZ curriculum according to where the children are working The whole of Cowley team plan units of work at these levels to cater for all our learners.

- 3. Daily Timetable Roll Fitness Maths Healthy snack break Reading Lunch break Writing/ (Te Reo -Paul *Thursdays) Third break (play/ sport break) Topic (change)/ sport/ assemblies/ The Kohi Way
- 4. Routines Healthy snack – a small healthy snack that can be eaten quickly. A good idea to include one for Break 3 also. I’m trying to help the children become more independent, routines and responsibility for learning are an important part of this: e.g. placing the book bag, drink bottle and healthy snack in the right place, putting the chair down each morning… ect. They will still need yours & my support with this, but it would be much appreciated if they actually did the activity themselves.
