Week 4

What an great week we have had - even if the weather wasn't so great.

The giant weta Ollie brought in to show us enjoyed climbing on our new place mats

So many great learning situations have happened this past week - the children are so enjoying learning about our under the sea topic and the fasts that go along with different categories of sea life. sea mammals was the focus this past week and will continue to be for the next week.

The children are all doing a fabulous job of their home learning in their books - thank you so much for getting the books back for checking on Fridays. The children love coming and sharing what they have done with me.

This next week the children will spend Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in their "whanau rooms." All the children have visited this room more than once and know that they will go to this room on Wednesday morning to start the day. The focus for this time is " Olympics 2012 - Follow the Journey." Each room has a member of the NZ Olympic team that they will be following and learning about. Looking at their event - how success is measured, and how they perform at this special event.

On Friday we will be holding our own Bledisloe Olympics ( weather permitting) this will be followed by a sausage sizzle - if you wish to buy a sausage, orders need to be in by Wednesday for ordering purpose.

Readers will come home on Monday and Tuesday only this week  ( due to whanau days.)
