Kia ora and welcome to the school holidays - term 3 - over and out.

I hope you got a chance to read the term 3 certificate I gave your child - a showcase of some of the wonderful things we have done over the term.

AUCTION DOLLARS for home learning - below are photos to show the children in order....

OUR TOP DOLLAR students....Liv WON again......with $1300 ..... yay well done to all the children. We had fun on Thursday doing the auction and the children all got some little goodies to take home. 

Whaea Suzanne is our wonderful teacher of te reo Māori. Suzanne works with us teachers on a Wednesday morning from 8am-8.30am. Last week Suzanne was in with Room 7 to watch me teach and join in with our te reo Māori lesson which was using numbers up to the thousands (mano).

Working out the numbers....

Jet helping to lead the game. 

Clean up NZ day - we went out as a class on Friday to pick up rubbish in our neighbouring streets....it started raining so we had to call it quits. But we did manage to get a full bag. =(

ALL (accelerated learning in literacy) and ALiM (accelerated learning in maths)....celebration time.
Well done to the ALL Room 7 group of: Jet, Liv, William & Elliot
