Week 3 Update

Kia Ora Whanau

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you all at the Parent/Teacher interviews this week.  Thank you very much for your feedback.

Review of the Week: 
*  The highlight was leading the Senior Team time.  Conner, Rithush and Max performed admirably as the MC's and the actors produced an excellent performance for their first time on stage.
* We took on Room 4 at Tug-o-War and had a massive syndicate game of kazoodle-noodle!
* We have been focussing on statistics in maths and have been looking at World Statistics.
* In literacy we are reading about various types of birds.
* We have been drawing a birthday poster which includes some personal identity.
* We learn't a new maori word game

We are delighted to have 3 cultural leaders in the class:- Kanye, Navia and Rithush

Week 4:
*  The big focus for the week will be to prepare for Assembly on Thursday.  This is our first of two times during the year when we will run assembly.  Please feel free to come along at 2.15pm and see our play.
*  In literacy we will complete our reading on birds and then begin a very cool writing exercise where we will write a postcard about ourselves and send it to another school in New Zealand!
*  In maths we will continue with statistics and this time use the number of pets that the class members have as our data.  We will compare this to Room 4's data.
*  In Art we are going to paint self-portraits.
*  In Inquiry we will start to look at our individual strengths and weaknesses and how this can impact
on the team.

In week 5 we will start to focus our attention on Camp.  Thank you for completing all the camp forms.  Swimming sports takes place on Friday afternoon on 3 March.  Class swimming will go through to 16 March.  Thank you for sending your children along with their togs and towels.
