Term 3, Week 3

Let’s start with another big thanks to children and families for a wonderful two weeks swimming at the ASB Aquatic Centre :) We had a fantastic time and made so much progress – please help us to maintain our new water confidence by taking us to the pools (or to the beach, river …) regularly :)

This week we look forward to our library day (Monday this week, due to courses in the library on Wednesday), to our Poormans Stream visit on Tuesday afternoon (yes, please come along!), and to the recycling circus show on Wednesday ($2 please, if you have not already paid). We will also continue with reading, writing, maths (we are beginning to think about length) and Bible in Schools. We’ll be working on our Poormans Stream mural (the stream and rocks are made from our moon/bubble prints!), typing our own labels on Thursday and working on some recycled art on Friday. We’re also going to be revising our use of te reo, and we’ll start looking at some Maori myths and legends.

Poormans Stream visit – please remember boots (tramping or gumboots, not fashion boots!) and a change of old clothes for Tuesday. Parents, we’d love you to come along! If it is too wet, the visit will be postponed as the stream would be unsafe. No postponement date has been confirmed as yet, but if that happens I will let you know as soon as possible :)
