The countdown to the school holidays is on!

A big thank you to the parents who helped out with Optimist yachting.  No sailing but a great day despite the wind.

We will be visiting Waimarama Beach for surfing lessons on Thursday - remember to get your notices back ASAP.

There is an open morning onWednesday for parents to visit the school and see learning in action (see school notice for details).

Remember
  • to check gear list for Optimist yachting (previous post)

Well done to the Room 6 children who supervised the Safe Cycling day in 33 degree heat last Wednesday.  You did a wonderful job explaining and modelling the learning for the day. Photos of the day and a PMI should be on the individual children's Blogs.

This week we have:
  • Optimist Yachting on Tuesday
  • Inter-school softball on Wednesday
In language we will be working on designing and publishing our own 'School Journals'.

In maths we will be continuing with Geometry.  Vocabulary related to the topic is as follows:
reflection
translation
rotation (rotational art should be published on individual blogs)
enlargement
tessellation

We will also be creating yachts out of recycled material so please send bottles, bags etc to school to support this technology challenge,

Coming up next week we have the triathlon champs on Tuesday (28 children involved from Rooms 5 & 6) and a surf trip to Waimarama on Thursday.
