Term 3, Week 5


Thank you once again, this time to those families who came along to help us out with tree planting on Monday. We really put our muscles into this task, and especially enjoyed picking up worms :)
Last week was also a special week for us as we welcomed back Mrs Fleur Jessop, started to practise our kowhaiwhai patterns, and voted for our new school leaders. The speeches were amazing – that will be us in just a few years! We enjoyed finishing off our stream mural, and are loving learning about all sorts of different myths and legends of tikanga maori.
This week is a special week too because it is MATHS WEEK (watch out for the problems to solve in our school newsletter!). We are learning about length in Room 3, so we’re going to form ourselves into a pirate crew to carry out all sorts of adventures – crafting hats from recycled materials, tracking treasure, designing ships, pirate sports … We’re also going be writing some of our own pirate poems on Thursday, so do have a go at the weekly challenge to think of words for describing pirates! Sarah Langhi will return on Monday to teach us about composting, Bible in Schools will take place as usual on Tuesday, with Library day on Wednesday and the COW on Thursday.
Here’s to another great week in Room 3 :)
