Week 9

What a fantastic day we had last Thursday at the Marae.  Check out our photos!

The year fours are busy writing speeches.  We have completed some amazing kowhaiwhai art, print making, animal sketches, flaxing and of course sport.  Room 2 students are now experts at graphing.  They can now ask a question and gather the information, graph using a computer and also draw a bar graph and turn it into a pie (no, not a mince pie but a graph pie!)

We have assembly this Friday showcasing the 'performing arts' at Cloverlea School.  Because of the number of items we will be starting at 2pm!  The more parents the better because we enjoying performing to an audience.  Come and hear the speech finalists, the singing, the dancing and the Double Dutch skippers!

Have a wonderful last week of school and keep safe over the holidays!

End of Week 8

Our morning began with excitement!  Yes, we received a lovely parcel from HRH Prince Charles.  Those of us who wrote to Prince Charles received an individual parcel containing a photograph, booklet and a personal letter!  How cool is that!

Please try and leave some comments ...

It will be nice to hear from you especially if you are in the Northern Hemisphere and if you work at a school. What do you think of our Blog?

Term 3 - well, nearly at the end ...

Here we are, week 8 and we have been so busy we haven't posted anything in this forum for a while.

WOW!  The last post was about writing letters to the Royal Family and GUESS WHAT!  Two weeks ago we got a reply back from HRH Queen Elizabeth!  What a lovely surprise.

We had another visit to the supermarket, this time to purchase the food for our lunch.  We chose the ingredients and then we made scrumptious sandwiches.  We can now read the labels on the food items and select the healthiest type of food and Jayden even discovered, that food with flash packaging isn't always healthier than the food that comes in plain packaging.

We have been involved in a lot of 'hands' on activities including how to make square meter and a cubic meter.  

ASSEMBLY WILL BE NEXT FRIDAY (WEEK 9) BEGINNING AT 2PM!  It will be hosted by Room2 and it will be actioned packed!
