Monday 25th - Friday 29th November 2013

This week in Maths we have been looking at fractions.  We revised over what a half looks like and did some more work on quarters.  We will be doing a bit more on fractions next week.  

With Nadine's creative mind we have now stuck on ears, eyes and tails.  Some Pukeko's got creative themselves and added bows or extras to their piggy banks.  We will show these for our item next week and then they will be ready to take home.

Wow, what a busy week we have had! 

Of course on Monday the whole school took a trip into Wellington to go to the zoo.  We had a great day patting some animals and learning a little bit about life cycles at the zoo school, and then going round and looking at all the animals.  At 1:00pm the whole school met for lunch.  

On Tuesday we wrote some recounts about our trip to the zoo.  Everyone did such a good job that we decided to publish them.  They are now up in the classroom so come in and have a read! 

Thanks to the help of Nadine (Jaspers mum) we have put the legs and the snout onto our paper mâché piggy banks. Today during discovery, we put on the first coat of paint.  They are beginning to look really good. 

Andrews dog had 13 puppies and before Discovery Time today, we were lucky enough to have a play with them.  Thanks Raewyn for bringing them in, they were extremely cute!

We have started the milk in schools programme this week.  We get a 250ml carton after morning tea each day. So far this is going down well and everyone has been enjoying their milk!  

We have been working on our calendars this week.  They can be ordered to be made into calendars, diaries or cards. Below is a photo of our finished artwork.  

Today during Discovery Time we made fruit kebabs and cars out of milk bottle lids.
