Week 8- Chanel And Ella

Today is Jolie's last day at Meadowbank and we are very sad. We started to pick up rubbish in our special garden in front of Room 23. We learnt how to ask the time in Maori 'He aha te taima?'. Today Hannah performed in the Chinese Dance group at Assembly. This week was our last practice for our dance. We will be performing next Wednesday. Tishaan is a new student in our class. It was the year 2 production and we had 9 of our siblings performing.

Check out the full moon that happened on Friday 13th June. It will be 35 years until the full moon happens on this date. Can you work out how old you will be?

Week 6- Ruby and Carlotta

It was our buddy class' assembly this week. We did some art work for the Maori planting calendar. Today is going to be a full moon that means it's a good time to plant. We did a Maori test to see how much of the weather we could remember. It is Friday the 13th and it's the only full moon in a long time. We have done lots of problem solving in maths this week. Check on our maths blog for some of our problems. Some people competed in a sack race for Spirit Day and Joshua came first, Zach came second and Carlotta came third. We published some writing on our blog this week too.
