Today in maths the Hearts and the Spades did maths outside on the snakes and ladders turf. We took turns standing on the numbers. Each person was told how many steps to move forward or back and the rest of the group had to work out what number they would land on.
Eg. Logan moves 2 spaces and then had to move another 3 forward. What number will he land on?
Ava moved 4 spaces forward and then 2 places back. What number will she land on?
We all had turns writing and moving and it was lots of fun!!
In our first week back at school we had Mr Kinane with us teaching us all about computational thinking with some unplugged activities.
We learnt all about weaving with an over-under code. We tried it with all different colours of paper and had to copy each other's patterns as well as making our own and then had to check them for bugs and debug our codes.
It was lots of fun and we can't wait to do some more coding.
On the last day of term 3 we all planted our own seedlings as part of the Little Garden League. We had one each and our job was to protect them over the holidays and help them grow.
Today we all brought them back to school and look how much they have all grown!! We were great at looking after them to give them everything they needed and now they are ready to be planted in our school garden.

This week has been a BIG and BUSY week!
We have written some term 3 reflections.
We got three new people in our class. It was Natalie, Max and Caleb.
We had three birthdays. Caden turned 7 on Tuesday and Natalie and Max are 6 today!
We received a new letter from the Little Garden League and Natalie got into the club.
And we have a big assembly today for the last assembly of the term.
Last week I was the star of the week and it was really fun because it was Māori language week. We learnt the colours in te reo and sung a song about it. On Friday we had hapu sports which is where we break up into our 4 school hapu's and then we took turns playing different games. I am in the orange hapu which is called Rimu.
