ANZAC ASSEMBLY

Today we remembered the ANZAC soldiers who died from this area. Some of the kids at our school are related to these men. Room 5 made the crosses. We listened to the Last Post, had a minute silence and heard a great piece of writing from Connor. 

In class we wrote about peace and discussed how it is the opposite of war. We made small doves with peace messages on them and put them on the wall to make one big dove. 

Keeping Warm

Today we had the guys from Sport Taranaki come and teach us some more activities to help us with our evasion skills. We were pleased they came today because we got to run around and stay warm!!

Mathletics

We have all been working super hard on Mathletics and earned ourselves these certificates. We all earned a bronze certificate and Judah also earned a silver certificate! Mrs Hancock prints our certificates out once a week and if we get a gold certificate we get it presented to us in assembly. Did you know there's also a Mathletics trophy that goes to the child in the school who has completed the most activities each term?

Charlie's Egg

Wow! That egg looks like a sausage. Yesterday Charlie brought  one of his chicken’s eggs in because it’s not the same as the other eggs because, it is a oval shaped egg.  It’s a small brown egg that a Red Shaver has laid but it doesn’t look like a Red Shaver’s egg because, the shape doesn’t look right.   It has a few dark black spots and it’s a very,very brown colour.  It was one of the weirdest eggs we had seen.   It looks like a rugby ball.  

Last night Charlie cracked open the egg and this is what it looked like.  We discussed why the chicken may have laid an egg like this.

I Have, Who Has....

This is a maths game that is helping us to understand place value with tens and ones.  We decided to challenge ourselves by timing ourselves to see if we could get faster each day. Here is a video we took today. It took us 3 minutes and 36 seconds to get right through the cards. I wonder how fastw e'll be tomorrow?
