Wally Bear Badge Making

As we have been following Wally's travels on his blog we have noticed that he has made a lot of new friends!
We wanted Wally to have a small gift to give these friends when he had to say farewell. We wanted this gift to remind Wally's new friends of where he was from, New Zealand. We had been looking at kowhaiwhai patterns in art and tried to use these in our badge designs. Check them out!

Ways to make the number 10

In maths we have been playing the game dice roll. We roll 2 and sometimes 3 dice and add the numbers together. It's a super way to practice our addition basic facts. Today we recapped the ways to make the number 10 to help us when we are adding 3 dice together. We made a rainbow to help us. Look at Georgia's great book work!

Measurement Olympics!

For the first 5 weeks of this term our strand maths topic is measurement. We have been learning to measure using a ruler in the first week and today started the Measurement Olympics! There are 3 events in total, all involving a pom. Our first event today was Kick the Pom. Here are some snaps of us busy at work.

School Cross Country

The School Cross Country is in the second week of Term 2 on Thursday 16 May. We were training hard as a class before the school holidays and I am excited to see who has kept up their training over the school holidays. See you Monday!

Cat and Mouse chaos!

Room 4 have been learning how to play hockey along with the rest of Weedons School through a contract with Canterbury Hockey. We have a half hour session every Tuesday and Thursday with our fabulous coaches Hayley and Rachel! Last week we played the game Cat and Mouse. We always enjoy the friendly game at the end of each session.
