Christmas Carnival

Having a Christmas Carnival on the second to last day of school for 2018 was so much fun.  We had bouncy castles, bike riding, water slides and Mr Whippy.  It was a great day topped off with seeing a New Zealand Santa!

Practising for Prize Giving

Team one have been practising the song "Christmas in New Zealand" for their prize giving song.  They have learnt to sign the last chorus they sing.

Getting Taller

We have been learning about measurement in maths so Mariposa and Alexandra were able to use their new skills to measure the corn as it gets taller.

Watching Our Corn Growing

Last week at Makerspace the children planted corn seeds.  They have been anxiously watching to see if the seeds have germinated and begun to grow.  On Thursday when they arrived at school and checked the containers they found three tiny shoots then on Friday there was one more shoot.  It is exciting watching the tiny plants getting bigger.

The seedlings are beginning to grow.
