Week 6 UPDATE

Hi all!
1.This week the only homework the class will get will be reading. The children will be given a reader each night so please listen to them read, read to them or just talk about what they have read.
I have their home learning books but they have their reading logs.
2. An important notice came home today about the upcoming beach trip. Please fill in the form and return it asap so your child can take part in this trip.
3. Don't forget the Eden/Albert Cultural Festival is this Saturday.

Green Day

We had loads of weeding to do around the fale today. It was also a great opportunity to look a little more closely at the swan plants and chrysali.

Thanks to Jess and Kate who helped us while we worked. Some of us felt like it was being in a village in Samoa 😁

Green Week Slides

This week was our last Green Week for 2017. Our focus for the week was to learn about insects, where they live and what they eat. On Thursday the class buddied up and made slides of our learning for the Green Day assembly. Vinnie & Jerico's slide represented the class but the quality of work from everyone was wonderful. 
I have left them as they were shared with me so there are a few spelling mistakes and punctuation problems. Can you spot them?

Athletics Day Results

Congratulations to everyone who competed at the Puriri Athletics Day! It was wonderful to see parents coming along to support you too.
A special mention must go to everyone who won a certificate for events they competed in AND well done to our relay team who won the class relays and to the whole class for coming second in the tug of war.

Our certificate winners were Alodia, Vinnie, Lucas, Anjola, Masima,

 Keisomani and Savannah (absent)

ATHLETICS DAY

Tomorrow is Puriri Team Athletics Day 

and the forecast is for fine weather.

We start at 9.15am on the field.

Bring a mat to sit on in case the ground is wet.

Our Finished Projects

Congratulations to everyone for your amazing technology projects. I was very impressed with the ideas that some of your had for your solutions. I think we have some future designers and inventors in our class!
