Term 3 Week 7

This is our whakatauki for September and remains us how special all our tamariki are.
Our kupu o te wiki was pene hinu or crayon
We continued thinking about fossils this week including having a look at some real fossils, uncovering our own 'fossils' and then sorting pictures showing the sequence of events that result in fossils being formed.
Despite the rain on Wednesday we got outside to play What's The Time Mr Wolf.
In our No Child Left Inside lesson we worked on our frisbee throwing skills.

We spotted some great example of team work during puzzle time......
...and also during the painting of our chocolate bar masks for next months Mask Parade
Discovery Time was a bit shorter after all that painting but we had fun creating a table fit for princesses and a prince.....
....and had to think hard about how to make a free standing marble run.

We were also busy this week making  special surprise cards...I wonder who they were for?
Some friends shared their very impressive number of words they could now read and write by themselves, well done!

Finally on Friday afternoon we were treated to a literary treat when we spent an hour listening to the captivating stories of a visiting story teller. We heard the stories of the 'Monkeys and the Hats" and the 'Sausage Story'.

    Fantastic work room 10! Lovely cards made for each other, great painting of the masks and good throwing skills with the frisbee. Oscar has also come home with lots of stories about fossils. Keep up the hard work. Enjoy the holidays for now, you too Tracy! 😊
