Week 7

Another busy week has flown past. We have begun practicing for the school cross country event – everyday (weather permitting) we are going for a run around the field. This event will take place before the end of the term.

Spooner Shield takes place this Friday. Although the competition is for Year 5 & 6 children, we do manage to get around a couple of times throughout the day and support our Bledisloe Teams.

The past week has been really busy, the children have all enjoyed learning about “whales” and we are now moving onto learning about sharks. We have begun to understand what words like, diet, habitat and description mean. We wrote a basic joint report with a friend about a whale.

Wow, we managed to get all our marbles in our class jar this week, and we received our treat on Thursday. The children are already planning the reward for when we next fill the jar.

We are getting so good at the Maori verse for our school song that Hoani has composed for us. The words reflect so beautifully our Bledisloe 3R’s.

Our sound of the week this week is “th”

Our word(s) of the week is “thank you”

My maths class will move onto looking at multiplication, this means understanding that 2 x 3 is actually 2 groups of 3.

Have a great week.
