Week 11
Kia Ora everyone,
What a busy week we have had in our Kowhanga this week! We can't believe its the last week of term already next week ;)
Bee-Bots
We had great fun on Wednesday learning how to 'code' our bee-bots. This gave a great opportunity for some fantastic oral language between children as they discussed how they could make them work.
Taste Test
Today as part of our 'Fun Filled Fridays' we enjoyed a taste test. We learnt about all our different senses we use and the went to testing out our taste buds. We put on our blind folds and then tasted different foods and had to tick off on our worksheet whether they tasted sour, bitter, sweet, salty or spicy. A big thank you to our awesome parent who came along and helped out, we hope you had as much fun as us!
Hutt Library
Our Kowhanga is off to the Hutt Library on Wednesday the 13th. We are going together this time and would love it if there are any parents/family members who could come on the walk with us. Please let Miss Tiffen or Mrs Fleming know if you can make it.
Reading
A reading book will be coming home as usual next week as well as our weekly paragraph to practice. We appreciate your help with reading this to help increase our fluency.
Maths
We are carrying on looking at the before and after numbers to 20, addition to 10 for some children as well as addition to 20 and subtraction from 10. We will all be working on our basic facts.
Chicken Pox
We still have children off with the chicken pox in our kowhanga this week. If your child isn't immunised and hasn't had the Chicken Pox virus before please visit the following website:
Hope you all have an enjoyable weekend.
Ka kite ano,

April Fool's Fun
On Friday our buddy class came down to visit. Our teachers took us outside and Mr Webb the caretaker told us his lawnmower was broken and asked if we could help out by using our scissors to get the grass nice and short. So we grabbed some scissors and set about cutting the grass. Turns out our teachers were pulling an April Fool's joke on us ;)
