Term 4 Week 3 The week that was

Celebrations in our class.

Congratulations to Zoe and Cadell who got placed in this week's cross country.

Congratulations to Naomi, who got 88 lines in this week's journal writing challenge.

Today we are having a mini-fair to raise money for the tsunami in Samoa. We are looking forward to being able to spend the money we have brought and to eating the lollies.

We are also all wearing mufti. Mrs Roxburgh has come to school in Mountainview High School uniform.

Tha talent show is coming up soon so some of us are practising for auditions. Cadell is playing the guitar. Anitra and Zoe are doing a poem. Molly is singing a song. Molly, Alex and Zoe are doing a dance. Naomi is playing the keyboard.

Lauryn will be leaving us soon to go to Christchurch. She will miss the talent show. We wish her all the best at Gilberthorpe School.

We are studying celebrations.

Here are some of the things we have to celebrate in our class this week.

Every week, we have a journal writing competition. We have to write about anything we like for 20 minutes. The highest number of lines written this week was 50. It was written by Naomi. Last term the highest score of 38 lines was written by Jack and Tane. The competition is on! Some of us might be practising at home!
Lately we've been playing a maths game called round the world and Oakleigh and Jack have been our champions so far. We have to be very quick at our basic addition and subtraction facts to 20.

Extreme Term 4

Yay! School's back again. Now we can learn some more. Welcome to Term 4. We have got a busy term ahead.

We haven't done much yet but we are going to be learning about celebrations and we have got athletics and cross country coming up.

We are sad that a class member is leaving at the end of the year too.

Some of us miss the holidays because we enjoy having time to do what we want to do when we want to do it but ... that's school days!
