Welcome to TERM 4....


A busy but exciting term ahead - several things to look forward to:
 1) Pet Day = Wednesday 22nd October (school finishes at 12.30pm) a fun morning to come along to. Lots of animals, plus art will be displayed in the hall. Come & visit me while I help out with the lambs, (hehe).
2) Labour Day - Monday 27th October.
3) School photos (30th October)
4) School Athletics Day = Tuesday, 11th November.

Our inquiry unit this term follows on from the end of term 3, "Litter free lunch"

 For maths we will be looking at fractions - I like this use of lego:

The famous joke book. Below are 3 photos displaying the order forms for the joke book. Thank you to the people who bought a joke book. This has been a good exercise for 1) Shkhan & 2) the class. As you can see Shkhan wrote in some of the orders (good to learn how to fill in a form properly) & he had a lesson in maths counting up the money.
All up he made $32. The gorilla is now on order ;)



The business plan - put together by the class with my help.



Lastly I'd like to pay our respects to Koby and his family. Koby's dear Poppa "his hero" passed away on the Monday of the 2nd week. I am thinking of the family a lot and I know Super SHARP 7 will look after their classmate Koby on his return. AROHANUI.


I will see you all soon - bright & early on Monday ;) Rachel
