Term 2, Week 5

Thanks to all for an awesome – if somewhat frosty! – week. Luckily we had our hockey and cross country running training sessions to warm us up! Our skip counting is racing along (it is SUCH a fast way to solve problems with bigger numbers, for example 35 (7 lots of 5) plus 15 (3 lots of 5) …), and we wrote some really ridiculous silly sentences as we finally filled our bright brains with ideas about alliteration.

This week is a short week of course and it is also our final week with Mr Harvey (who will be away on Tuesday for a Rippa tournament with several Birchwood teams). We will miss him very much as he has really made learning fun in Room 3, and has given us a lot of help with our work! The good news is that before he leaves us we’re going to have an awesome time together making paper bag princess prints and rubbings (using cardboard blocks, string and rollers!), and we’ve still got buddy maths, jump jam and kapa haka to look forward to.

Finally, we are collecting plastic soft drink bottles (we would prefer the smaller sizes, but larger ones are also welcome!) with the “star” or “flower” shaped base for an upcoming snowflake printing project. If you have any bottles to donate please bring them in to Room 3 this week :)
