Wow, where did week 4 go?

The term seems to be flying by and we have had another action packed week in Room 7. We have swum, reflected on goals, watched impressive hail storms and completed a maths challenge.

The swimming sports on Thursday was amazing! All the children gave 100% in their individual races and supported each other as well. We also participated in swim safety, wearing life-jackets, and had a go at synchronised swimming.

The starfish challenge!

The end of a stunning sequence of underwater moves!

We have also been preparing for our 3 way interviews next week and reflecting on the goals we set last term. We  have set new goals to share with our parents/whanau and have been practising what we will say with our buddies.

What a hail storm we experienced on Thursday afternoon! The class came to a stand still as the hail pelted Normandale School. The children were excited and all hoped it would snow.

We have been following the maths week survivor series in Room 7 this week. Each day we were faced with 10 maths questions (in the flavour of the amazing race) and then given a golden letter. The aim was to collect 5 golden letters by the end of the week and figure out what the word spelt. This has been an exciting way to do maths, and the children have enjoyed the challenge.

Please check out the website as it has lots of fun and exciting games for the children to play.

Have a great weekend everyone, keep smiling and I look forward to sharing some of the super work your children have been doing with you at interviews next week.
