Principal Awards

Congratulations to James and Isla winners of Room 7 & 8 principal awards

Maths time!

In the afternoons in Room 7/8 we do maths.  At the moment we are looking at addition and subtraction and reinforcing number knowledge.  We use a task board and move around activities... Teacher, group box, all about numbers and practice.

Nataleigh, Krystle and James are working with the teacher.

The Clownfish are doing some maths practise.

Today the Clownfish were awesome at playing games.

#thefairestofthemall

On Friday the whole school was entertained by the Playhouse theatre group.  They put on a wonderfully entertaining show that had us all in fits of laughter and watching intently.  It also had a serious message about how we need to live our lives in the real world instead of being glued to our devices, living in the virtual world.

Here are some pics from the show...

Week 3 Winners

Well done Ayla and Aidyn for being awarded Principals Awards in Week 3!

Congratulations Tyler and Krystle for winning the Principal award this week

Statistics

For Maths during the first two weeks of the year we have been learning about Statistics.  We have been posing questions, making predictions, collecting data, displaying data and making statements about the data. Yesterday we went out by the obstacle course to collect data about the colours of cars travelling past our school.  

Hot Day

A few mothers Sheltering from the summer sun.

Superstars Cricket

Your child may have brought home a notice and registration form for superstars cricket.  This is for children in years 1-4 and is on Tuesdays for the next 6 weeks.  There is no cost for this, just take your child and their registration form along on Tuesday.

Bulłer Cricket

We were really lucky on Friday at assembly because we had some of the Buller Cricket team and their manager bring the Hawke Cup to show our school.  The Buller team won this from Canterbury Country in their very first Hawke Cup challenge last weekend.  Our very own Mr Adams plays in this team.  This weekend from the 12th-14th February the Buller team will be playing their first defence against North Otago at Craddock Park - it would be great to have lots of local support. We might even head along to watch for a wee bit on Friday!!

Our Writing
