Happy Holidays

We've had a fun week in Room 5 celebrating the end of the year.

On Monday we had our class party as a result of our Statistics investigations in Maths. We especially loved the ice-cream cake and fruit salad that we enjoyed.

On Tuesday we had our Kahikatea Big Day Out with a trip to the Botanics, shared kai and our annual water fight.

This will be Sally's last post from Room 5 as next year she is moving to Room 2 to teach Year 5/6.

Fun filled week!

What a week we have had this week!

On Monday we kick started our week by completing the final preparations for our Kahikatea Market Day. We finally got to make the jelly that we had been working towards designing packaging and marketing all term.

On Monday night a number of children performed at the Summer Sounds Choir Concert at Founders Park.  There was a surprise performance by a Brass Band who were very cool!

On Tuesday all our hard work paid off when we set up our Jumping Jelly Store.  Our jelly all sold out within 10 minutes!  We made over $60 profit with some of it going towards a class party and the remaining going towards the SPCA.

On Tuesday we also had a visit from Ellie from Broadgreen Historic House. We learnt all about how children in the Victorian time celebrated Christmas.  We learnt that their advent calendars weren't filled with chocolate, but rather with chores like chopping wood and even emptying the potty!

On Tuesday and Wednesday we were lucky enough to visit Ingrid and Harold from Life Education.  We learnt about empathy and being a good friend.

To end the week we had our annual Kahikatea Athletics Day where we competed in shotput, sprints, long jump, high jump and relays. 

What a week!

Fun, fun, fun!

Today we were treated to a performance from a Brass Band. Our very own Ned and Lachlan were performing with the band.  Way to go boys!

We've enjoyed swimming again this week.  We even had a couple of sessions swimming in the rain.  Here are some of us having a piggyback race.

Our focus this week has been on Statistics in Maths.  As part of this we are planning a class party. We have surveyed our classmates using a variety of means and then tallied up our results to help plan the party.  Look out for more photos soon.

In Room 5 when Sally is reading a book we are allowed to massage our friends. One day this week quite a large massage train was formed with Sally at the front! Let's just say this was Sally's highlight of the day!
