Lego Men Art

Look at our cool Lego Men Zentangles!! We are so clever at Zentagle now. 

Guess How Many Jelly Beans.....

For maths this week we are learning about larger numbers and Mrs Ray read us this new story called 'How Many Jelly Beans?'  We loved it and were so surprised when she brought out a HUGE jar filled with jelly beans.  We had to make a estimate (guess) how many we think are in there and we wrote it down. 

Parents and teachers have their own guessing sheet too!

 We cannot wait to find out how many are in there and if we were close with our estimations.

Athletics Champions

Last Wednesday we had our junior athletics.  We participated in lots of events and all tried our best.  Mrs Ray was very proud how hard we tried and well behaved we were.  

Music with Mrs Henderson

Today we has Mrs Henderson come and teach us the rakau sticks and a song called E Papa to go with it.  Here we are learning it.....

Spud in a Bucket Challenge

“Spud in a Bucket” challenge.  Bunnings Te Rapa have invited our school to enter ‘The school Spud in the Bucket challenge’. 

Bunnings have supplied us with the ‘spuds’ and buckets. The spud buckets are kept at school for now and students ‘planted’ their spud in their bucket on Friday.  They will now look after it, and then harvest their crop at home. 

Spud buckets will be sent home later in the term and Bunnings Te Rapa is having a prize giving 5 pm Wednesday 16^th December at their Christmas family fun night that you can choose to go to.  

There are prizes for the…... Largest Potato - Smallest Potato - Weirdest Shape - Highest Average Number of Potatoes – and Heaviest Average Weight.    Good luck!

We have some shoots one week later! 

Black Out Day....GO ALL BLACKS!!

On Friday we showed our support for the All Blacks by blacking out the school.  Everyone looked great and we cannot wait to watch the AB's beat the Australians!
