What a Stunning Week!

We had a fantastic week in Room VH. We have been working hard on our measurement skills doing lots of real measuring. For our inquiry we measured around the playground so that we have accurate measurements for our playground plans. Here we are doing our measuring....



In maths we also started using our basic fact knowledge to solve double digit problems this week. Most of us on Monday only got about 8-10 right but by Friday we were getting them all right. What a great effort.
This week in writing we have been writing dragon stories. Mrs Nicholson, our librarian, let us have three brand new dragon books. We wrote about a funny dragon called Cinder, a bubble blowing dragon.
We learnt a new song called Aotearoa, for our school assembly that was on Friday. It sounded beautiful as it each syndicate had a different part to sing. A great effort by everyone.
Our inquiry is moving along really well. We have received some priming paint for the playground donated by Flett Painters. The class also wrote a fax to Mr Resene and Mr Bunnings to see if they could donate some colourful paint. We hope we hear from them this week.
We met Ally Todd and listened to a presentation about our new school pool because this coming week we start swimming for three weeks.

Recipes are coming in thick and fast. These children still need to send in their recipe...

Jack N, Blake, Jack V, Ruby, Penny, Emma, Jayde, Alyx and Bella

I have four recipes that don't have names on them so if your child has brought in one of these, thanks.

Coming up next week....

Swimming - starts this week - remember your togs, towel, swimming cap. A newsletter came home on Friday on which day your child is swimming so have a look in book bags.
Library - Wednesday
Kapa Haka - Thursday

Only 13.5 days left of school - can you believe it? We have had a fantastic year but boy it has gone fast.

Take care
