Term 4 Week 6

 The Sharks reading group used Venn Diagrams to

summarise information about 'uninvited guests' that

live in our houses.

 

 

One of our Cacti grew an amazing flower!



Term 4 week 5

We use interactive websites as part of our 'superfoods' topic

Term 4 Week 4

We collected rubbish that we found lying around the school

We only did it for four days and found 100 pieces of rubbish!

So each day about 25 people decided just to leave their rubbish on the ground instead of taking a short walk to 

a rubbish bin....very disappointing. 

Term 4 Week 3

 We put our thinking hats on and solve more problems in algebra.

 As part of our unit on healthy eating we take 

a look at the school garden 

and browse through supermarket brochures to see 

what's on offer locally.

Munch, munch, munch....food fresh from the school garden is SOOO good for you!

Term 4 Week 2

 We study algebra with hands-on puzzles that all have a secret code to be found.

We discovered that to build 3 step, 4 step and 5 step staircases you needed 9 blocks, 16 blocks and 25 blocks...so the code to find the number of blocks we needed was: 

the number of steps multiplied by itself, so a 10 step staircase would need 100 blocks!

 Finding the answers needed a LOT of trial and error, 

persistence was the key!

 The students make sure the tadpoles get breakfast each day 

so they keep growing!

Term 4 Week 1

The masked parade is this Friday.

We will gather in Montgomery square at 4.30

(parade begins at 5.30).

Postponement day is Saturday at the same time.

Look for the sign for row B2 and the Tahunanui School banner.

You need to bring your mask and be wearing a t-shirt the same colour as your mask (blue for Room 11)

Remember to see the teacher to be marked off the register when you arrive AND before you leave.

 

 We learned many things about staying safe in the water.

For example the importance of ALWAYS wearing lifejackets in boats.

 We have new arrivals in class...

some tiny tadpoles that will grow into frogs over the next month.

Term 3 - Week 10

SCHOOL WILL CLOSE AT 2.00 ON MONDAY (only) 24TH OF OCTOBER (WEEK 11) FOR PARENT-TEACHER INTERVIEWS.  WE WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD ARRANGE ALTERNATIVE CHILDCARE FROM 2.00 OR NOTIFY THE TEACHER IF YOUR CHILD IS REMAINING AT SCHOOL.

 

A CRECHE WILL OPERATE IN THE LIBRARY FROM 3.OO - 6.30 ON MONDAY AND 3.00 - 6.00 ON TUESDAY

 

All our wonderful Pukeko masks ready for the 'myths and legends' masked parade.  Ours are based on a legend we read called "How the Kiwi lost its wings"
