Botanic Gradens

Great looking bunch!!

We had a great day last Wednesday. 

Thank you to our wonderful helpers.

We are learning to make i-movies on computers rather than i-pads with the great selection of photos including ones Jo Wynn- Williams sent through to us.

Hopefully the movies will be done in the next few days and we'll pop them up there.

Here are a few images for now.

Have a great week.

Get your child to ask you how you're feeling? Ke te pehea koe?

To help with pronunciation here are the syllables in Måori.

Here are some colours in Māori:

Mā- White
Whero - Red
Karaka - Orange
Kowhai - Yellow
Kākāriki - Green
Mango - Black
Pango - Black
Kahurāngi/ Kikorangi - Blue
Tawa - Purple
Parauri - Brown
Kiwikiwi - Grey

Last week of term

Wow it's been a busy couple of weeks. Congratulations to Lily who is our mathlete of the week. Quin was last weeks champion and we are waiting for the year 8s to do milo & cookies again to properly celebrate them both.

We have ABL tomorrow with a group of year 13 students from Hagley  Community College from 9-12, which is always fabulous.

There is no spelling homework this week, but keep up the great mathletics and reading!

I am planning a trip to the Botanical Gardens for the Team next term. A notice will come home with information before the holidays.

Have a great week

Week 7

Welcome to Alicia Bell, a second year student from the University of Canterbury. Miss Bell will be doing some teaching in our class until the end of term.

Friday is a national LUNCH BOX DAY.

This is organised through Campbell Live. You should get an email about this from school, but in a nutshell we are asking that children bring along an item of tinned food that can be used in sandwiches and/ or a gold coin donation. This is of course entirely optional, and the notice is very short, but any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have added a link if you want more info.

Well done to ALL the children who have been using Mathletics. There are some outstanding results.

The last 2 champions were shouted milo & cookies today. Well done Anna and Izzy.

We are attending a cyber safety session today as a team. I'll let you know how it was & if there is anything you can do at home.

There is no spelling this week as we are re-gigging the way the school teaches spelling/ word study. I don't think there'll be too many changes in Room 7 but keep an eye out.

Have a great week

Louise

Mathletics
