Once again we had a wonderful start to last week in
Room 3 with a special trip to the Nelson Museum to see the Save Our Snails
(Powelliphanta) exhibition. Many thanks to the wonderful mothers who provided
transport and assisted our learning at the museum – we loved handling the
shells, meeting Ferdinand, and learning about predation, trapping and
conservation. We have enjoyed thinking about different animal species this week
and how they are different from, and exist in balance with each other to make
up the amazing biodiversity of the earth. We had a great time on Thursday
playing with rakau (short sticks) for te ao kori, brainstorming our mythical
characters, and practising skip-counting in twos.
This week we’ll look more closely at character
description and definition in our myths, legends, nursery rhymes and fairy
tales, begin our tennis lessons with the Grasshopper Tennis programme ($5 to Miss Driver please if you have not
paid already :)) and
wrap up the week with our Junior Masterchef Pizza Challenge on Friday. If you are available to help us with our
Pizza Challenge between 11am and 12.30pm on Friday we would really appreciate
your support. We’ll be working in teams in the staffroom kitchen to design, top and bake some pizzas to share,
but we’ll need some tough adult fingers for chopping and grating (and some keen
adult eyes for supervision)! Please let Miss Driver know of any food allergies – we will keep the toppings
simple, but will not be able to accommodate preferences.
