Athletics Day

Thank you to all the whanau who made it along to share our athletics day on friday.

The tamariki say it best "We love athletics"

Jack and the Beanstalk

As part of our inquiry into Dance and Drama we have been learning about the traditional story of Jack and the beanstalk.  We have listened to the story, acted it out using dress-ups. We planted our own beans and wrote stories about it.

Maybe our beans will be magic too!!!

We put cotton wool balls and water into a plastic bag.  We put the bags on the window so we could see the roots and stems grow.  Then we waited.

After one week our beans were starting to sprout.

After two weeks the beans were growing roots, stems and leaves!

 

Certificate Assembly

We have two certificate assemblies so far this term.
Well done to our classmates for their hard work and great attitudes to learning.

Fun at the Disco

The Glow in the Dark Disco was fun for everyone.  It was great to see so many of our classmates there.  

There were some great outfits and amazing dancing.  

 

Our Team 1 Fairy Godmother even made a special appearance.

Welcome to Term 4

Welcome to Room 13.

We were joined by six wonderful new students this term.  As well as a Duffy bookbag each child received a Sistema lunchbox. 

Term 3 highlights

What a busy term 3 we had in the New Entrant space.
We were joined by many new students who have all settled in well to school life.  Well done to you all.

Our term focus was "Something in the Water - He mea i roto e te wai".  This has given us many great learning opportunities in writing, reading, maths and art.

The highlight of our term was the beach visit, when we had the chance to enjoy an afternoon at our very own Pt England Beach.
