Term 2, Week 8

Thank you to all students for the sensible choices made during our last rainy week – I hope that everyone kept snug and warm at home!  We had a super time with our new teacher Mr Neal and we especially enjoyed his guitar playing – we look forward to more singing sessions! We also did a lot of jumping and landing as we began our gymnastics programme, printed some pretty peacocks, and got stuck into some fractions.

This week in Room 3 we are are going to explore a new language feature called (big word!) onomatopoeia – squishy, crunchy, squelchy words that sound like the thing that they describe. We are going on a story book Bear Hunt, and putting our physical skills to the test with more gymnastics and a rugby training session (the first of two) on Thursday. We will take a break from our usual programme to look at some science experiments on Tuesday afternoon, and we look forward to kapa haka on Thursday.

This week Miss Driver is very busy too and we will welcome back Mrs Heather Eades on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, as Miss Driver will be engaged with the school Enviroteam and attending workshops. Thank you for making Mrs Eades feel so welcome – she always looks forward to her days in Room 3 with our fabulous children :)
