Happy Birthday Cameron!

Have a great start to being 8!

More Measurement Matters

Today we discussed the tools and units of length measurement.
We used rulers to measure items. One discovery we made was that the tip of your pointer fingers is about 1cm wide. For me the tip of my little finger is about that size. Most people guessed that a cm was bigger than that.

The next challenge was to find objects with measurements from 1cm to 10cm long. That was quite tricky and we ran out of time to finish before playtime. Perhaps you could complete this challenge at home and send a photo along that I could post on the blog.

Congratulations Cameron for figuring out what a chronometer was from the sentence it was in!  Can you remember? Check out the post by clicking here.

Dear Spring...Part 1

Dear Spring

Hello Spring, we all were very excited about you coming, but when I looked out my window this morning it looked nasty. You made Christchurch glisten with blossoms and daffodils. But all of us were hoping for sunny days, not breezy, rainy, puddley days.

I hope you will come back around soon,

From Max M.

Dear Spring

Hiya Spring, are you here? Because if I just look out of the window it will be raining. Spring, I would like to see some sun on the day I am doing athletics because I will be in shorts and a singlet. I like your beautiful flowers and blossom. I like that you chose to make your season when the lambs are born and the calves are too.

Lots of love,

Max A, xox

Dear Spring

If you don’t know it’s only the first day of Spring. We want you to hurry up so we can get warm, and so we can go to the beach. Everyone probably wants the real Spring to come, not the old Winter. It’s like you got sick. We want you to come back.

Dear Spring

I hope you can fit in a sunny day today so me and Charlie can go to the gardens and see the spring flowers. I hope I can see some spring animals too. I love you Spring, for the flowers like blossoms, snowdrops, honeysuckle, poppies, tulips, winter roses, daphne, and daffodils.

From Cameron

Dear Spring,

I love the pretty blossom on the blog. The children are sitting on the spider web. I hope it will be sunny soon.

Love Andrea

Awesome Athletes

It is exciting to have the Tryathlon coming up tomorrow. You will have excellent opportunities for practising your Key Competencies during that!
Some Room 17 children took part in the Run to Remember event on Sunday. Congratulations to Cameron and Nate for completing this 10km run!

Cameron and his friend Jake and their mothers.

Fabulous Faces

Have you been noticing faces in the environment around you? I thought the front of the Orbiter looked like a face when I saw it last week.
