Term 2 Week 2

Well, we are all set for another busy term! Already, we have successfully completed our mini inquiry unit about ANZAC Day and we created great posters about our question that we researched. I can tell you have learnt alot! We survived our second week of cross grouping for literacy and our maths classes are ticking along nicely, well done!

Have a look at the Times Square link in New York - it is exactly like that - bright lights, people and cars everywhere. I can even still remember standing there and watching that very M&M sign ... enjoy.

Thumper is being replaced by another class mascot since the weather is getting cooler and Thumper needs to burrow deep underground until the spring (probably much to Mr Giesen's relief). Start thinking of some names for our turkey looking creature!

Congratulations to the following people who received certificates at last weeks assembly: Cullen (for respecting others), Mason (for great questions), Elzandah (improvement on speaking) and Sharnah (for always being considerate and helpful).

Hopefully next week, Room 13 year 3's will be learning Spanish via the internet with another school in Palmerston North. Starting in week four we will be having 'Country of the week' in preparation for the FIFA World Cup(soccer). Fingers crossed we also get a letter back from HRH Queen Elizabeth II SOON.

So, as you can see, we have a lot going on in Room 13 - that's why I call you the Busy Bees! Enjoy your weekend and make sure you are refreshed for Monday as we travel with Mrs Frizzle and the Magic School Bus through our body ... and oh, did I tell you, Life Education will be at our school in the next couple of weeks!

¡hasta luego! (See you later)
Mrs C.

Easter message

I hope you all enjoyed your time at Easter and you remembered to spread the chocolate out over ... hmmmm, let me see.... months! Make sure the ants don't get to the chocolate!

Term 2 is going to be very exciting and very busy so make sure you are well rested before school starts! It is going to be a longer term of 11 weeks instead of the nearly 9 weeks in Term 1.

We can't wait to hear about what Thumper has been up to with you, Cody! I hope your Dad didn't make rabbit pie out of him like he threatened to! As for Mrs C's mini lop rabbit, Thumper, he has GROWN! It must be all the healthy food I am feeding him.

Be safe over the holidays!

Mrs C.
