Numeracy Term 3

We have started this term with some problem solving in Numeracy.
We have had two problems this week. 
  Mother Bear’s Shirts 
 Mother Bear is making three shirts for the young bears. 
Shirts can have 3, 4 or 5 buttons. 
 How many buttons might she need? 
Show all your answers. 

And

 Mother Bear and the Cookies 
 Mother Bear is making 4 cookies. 
She is going to decorate them with lollies. 
She can use 2, 4 or 6 lollies on each cookie. 
How many lollies might she need?

We had lots of fun and practiced our number work at the same time.
Watch our movie to see us working.

Cross Country

In Term 2 our main sports event is the School Cross Country, followed for some by the Cluster Cross Country
 and for a few the Bay of Plenty Cross Country.
We all train hard and do our best.
This year for the first time we had hay bales to
 jump over, that was great fun.


MATARIKI

It is Maori new Year. 
We have been learning about the seven stars of Matariki, also known as Pleiades.
With Mrs Sutherland we have done some amazing art work.

The culmination of 2 terms Kapa Haka practises was our performance at the Cultural Festival.
We looked great in our Kapa Haka uniforms and enjoyed a photo opportunity with Whaea Janine before we went.




We practice hard and enjoy all our performances.
Thank you Matua Grant and Whaea Martha for supporting and teaching us.
