Wow -what an awesome show!  The children performed brilliantly at the Michael Fowler Centre last week and really enjoyed themselves.  This was the first time I had been to the show and I was soo impressed by the children's singing.  They had really practiced hard and learnt all their words.  A big thanks needs to go to Naomi Johnson who so ably prepared the children for this show.
Well done to all- we were very proud.

We have been busy lately replanting the butterfly/herb garden and the vegie garden up behind the hall.  Things seem to be growing well.  We also have now started up the compost behind the hall- feel free to send along small amounts of suitable waste for the compost if you wish.  Some children have been researching about composting and worm farms as part of their reading and will be sharing this at our assembly in week 10.

Term 3

Kia Ora Welcome to Term 3 in Room 7. I am looking forward to working with your child and all the children in Room 7. 
 This term  we are going to be learning how to carry out an inquiry related to 'Glasgow 2014'.  We will be asking our own questions and then researching to find the answer.

Cebrating Matariki!

We hope you enjoy our stories and artworks as much as we enjoyed creating them! Celebrating Matariki on PhotoPeach

Athletics with Geoff... Getting Higher with Greater Accuracy!

This morning we were learning to lift knees high to get better clearance when we jump, hop or hurdle. Hopping was tricky but made easier when you kept looking straight ahead to keep your balance. Keeping your other leg behind you, also helps with balance. Running quickly along the ladders was challenging and made us lift our knees high and fast! Then we practiced accurate baton chnges, to prevent the disappointment of letting the team down by dropping the baton! Lift those knees high! on PhotoPeach

Exploring Symmetry

It was really fun getting to make our own symmetrical patterns. The challenging part was naming the shapes and making sure they really were symmetrical. Elaina: "I had fun making a ginormous snowflake with Maggie." Creating Symmetrical Patterns on PhotoPeach

We achieved personal goals in today's Fun Run.

We had a fantastic Fun Run today! Fun Run on PhotoPeach
