The Easter Disco

We had lots of Fun on Thursday at the Disco. The best part was the money that we raised for the Famy Unit at Kew Hospital.

What a great term we have had. It's hard to believe that we are at the end of it already. We would like to thank all the parents who have helped over the term. We have had people helping with swimming, maths flash card testing,  spelling and those at home who have continued to help your child with homework too. This is always appreciated. Some children will get books to read over the holidays. We hope you have a break and enjoy having lots of time to spend with your children. We wish you a happy Easter and hope that Easter Bunny brings lots of goodies for you and your families.

On Friday we were lucky enough to have Mel Young a Science Teacher from Southland Girls High School visit the class and share some amazing science activities with us. Mel showed us how dry ice doesn’t melt but evaporates. When the dry ice was put into balloons they got bigger all by themselves! We also saw how acids turn a universal indicator red, orange or yellow while bases make it turn blue or green. We had lots of fun watching and trying out all the experiments Mrs Young brought with her. We want to say a big thank you to Mrs Young and say  “We LOVE science”.

School Swimming Sports

Watching and Cheering our houses on.

Here are the children of Rawe practising their maths flash cards. This is something that we do each day so we can get really fast at them.

We are working on using our senses when we write. We are using the swimming pool as our inspiration.

Thanks for helping your child get better at their flash cards as the little and often approach is really helping them to move along in their learning.
