Busy, busy, busy!

What a last couple of weeks we have had!

 In Week 8 we had our last visit to the Suter Art Galley.  We visited the Jane Evans Exhibition, a tribute to one of Nelson's most famous artists who passed away earlier this year.  We then had a go and painting using water colour paints.


Week 9 
On Wednesday we went to Riverside Pool with our syndicate using some of the money we raised as part of our Market Day.  We had lots of fun swimming, and we especially enjoyed Sally hopping in with us.

On Thursday we had a Kahikatea Synidicate Athletics Day.  We spent the afternoon rotating around and competing in different athletic sports that we had learnt  about this term during P.E.


On Friday we had our Pizza Party.  We used the money raised from our Market Day in Week 8.  Jack and his Grandma also made Christmas Cookies for us.  In the afternoon visited all the beautifully decorated Christmas Trees at the Cathedral with our buddy class. 


Today we had a super fun day with the rest of our syndicate.  We went down to the Botanics and had lots of fun playing with all the amazing sports equipment from Sport Tasman.  We ate our lunch down there and then after lunch we returned and had a water fight and some of us also had a swim.  Sally even got in on all the action with us!  What a way to wrap up the term!

Market Day

Last Friday we held our Kahikatea Market Day. This was the result of two terms worth of inquiry. If you've been following our blog you will have read that as a result of Term 3's work we decided to make scented playdough with glitter in it.  This term we have worked hard at packaging and marketing our playdough.  We made a powerpoint, collectors edition booklets, adverts, sandwich boards, posters and designed the packaging for it all.  The market was a huge success and we sold out of our product in 40 minutes!  Altogether we raised just over $60 which we put towards our swim at Riverside Pool and then the rest decided that we would put towards a pizza party.  Thank you to everyone who supported this event!

Playdough Ad

Here is the ad we made to go in the NSC Daily News advertising our playdough.  This is the result of our last two terms inquiry.  We will be selling it this Friday at our Kahikatea Market Day.  The money raised will be used to pay for a swim at Riverside Pool.  We'd love to see you at our market day.  Parents are welcome between 12 and 12.30
