Our viewers from around the world ...

Thank you to those of you who are viewing our class blog overseas.  We enjoy looking at the world map on our blog and we are excited to see that we have people in India and Russia looking at our work.

Welcome and we hope you enjoy seeing the type of learning we are involved in way down here at the bottom of the Earth in New Zealand.

(We learnt that we have birds [Godwits] in Foxton that fly all the way to Russia every year!  That is a very long way to fly!)

Kia ora.

Term 4

We have had a wonderful start to the term!  We arrived yesterday to find a different classroom layout and a unique way of learning where we now really need to manage our own learning.

Our topic in numeracy (maths) is financial literacy, working with money and we have begun to focus on the real cost of owning a pet which is very appropriate with Pet Day in two weeks.

Ukulele lessons started and already, two groups learnt C and Am chords.  We will be performing at the Variety Show later on this term.

Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, Mrs Burnett and Mrs Clark have combined the classrooms and we have various workshops running for our inquiry, "Dream BIG futures".  We had a very successful afternoon, so much so that the bell rang for the end of school before we knew it!

Our physical fitness focus this term will be gymnastics and summer sport - padder tennis, tabloid sports and summer football with Shane Rufer.
