Term 4 Has Begun.

It is term 4, a sunhat term.  We need to remember to have a sunhat in our desks every day.

We all had a great time in the holidays.  We went away, to birthdays, skiing, to the pool, to the movies, to Lazer Force, to Inflatable World, on train trips and to the Salt Water Pool.

Mr Edghill has been teaching us about Japan.  He has been there and he likes it.  Also some children from our school are there at the moment and we have seen their blog.  Last term we made tanuki masks with Mr Edghill.  We also made teru teru bozu, because they bring good weather.  Mr Edghill finishes at the end of next week.  We will miss him.

After he goes it will be Labour Weekend.  We get the Monday off to remind us about how long Mums and Dads and children used to have to work a long, long time ago.

Mrs Phillips said we will be learning about the Sun and how it affects us after Labour Weekend.

The new value of the term is Duty and we are starting to learn about it.

Sports Day was great fun! The sun shone and it was warm.

Our Six Wearable Arts Creations.

End of Winter News.

Friday was a great Fancy Friday.  People dressed up in all sorts of costumes as you can see in the photos below.
We are very pleased to welcome a new boy.  His name is Murphy and he has settled very well into Room 16.  Today we also welcome Mr Edghill as our new College teacher.  We are looking forward to working with him.
Y3's have completed their Oral presentations.  Thank you to Lucy O. and Sasha for representing Room 16.
Our new topic will be about Wearable Art.  There will be a notice going home about it.

Fancy Friday was Funtastic!

Cross Country Day.

A bright sunny day for it.

 The cross country was on Tuesday.  Most of us did our PB - personal best.  Mrs Phillips was very proud of us and we were proud of ourselves.  You got a number on your hand.  If it was a 1, 2, or 3you will get a certificate in Assembly next week.  The Y2's only had to do one lap but the Y3's had to do two laps.  It was exciting, epic, cool, fantastic and magnificent.

We have almost finished our Commonwealth Games topic.  New Zealand won 45 medals.  Next time the Games will be on the Gold Coast in Australia in 4 years.

Great running boys.

At Assembly on Friday we watched the girls 
do Aerobics.  They won a competition.
In Maths we are learning about Time and Clocks.

Today we have College Teachers coming to do Maths with us and then they will come back again to work with us in two weeks.

Electives start again on Friday and we know which one we are in.  For Cultural Swap we are going to Miss Cassidy and Art.

Term 3 Already Wow!

Last week was Read-a-thon week and we had to read as much as we could and get sponsors to pay us.  On Friday we had Pyjama Day.  Mrs Phillips was so busy and had so much fun she forgot to take the photos!!  We looked: amazing, tired, epic, awesome, cool, sleepy, fantastic, great and magnificent in our PJ's and Onesies.  Mrs Phillips wore her big, long, apricot dressing gown.  Many of us also wore our slippers.  We had lots of bedtime stories and some children brought their favourite books and toys to share.  It made lots of us very sleepy especially at the end of the day and Mrs Phillips said "Good Night Room 16!"
Our new topic is about the Commonwealth Games and each morning we look at the number of medals we have won.  We are watching the 17 different sports results.  This morning we had 21 medals.
In Maths we are talking about left and right and turns. It is called Transformation.
We have been training for the Cross Country by running laps at school.  Many of us are nearly ready to get the 100 Lap Certificate.  The day has been postponed until next Tuesday, 5th August.  See the Newsletter for the race times.
Last week Mr Weepers came and taught us about Circle Time and Bubble time.  We think they are both a good idea and are using them a lot.
At Storytime we are publishing our holiday stories.  You can come in and read them.
In the holidays lots of seats and steps and a tree have been taken out out ready for the new Learning Centre to be started soon - we hope!
