Cross Country 2008

Fine Athletes!

Cross Country

Last week we held our annual cross country. This year was a little bit different because we had it at school rather than at the Botanics.
We ran in age groups. The races were exciting and exhausting at the same time! We were able to demonstrate our 'I can' attitude.
A big thank you to Ethan's dad who took some lovely photo's for us.


Friends after the race.

Measurement

We have been using lots of different ways to measure length, weight and capacity.

News Time

This term we have 'Buzz Groups' for news. We are in groups of 4-5 children. One person is the leader and it is their job to report back to the class all the news in our group. We have a different leader each day. It means you have to listen very carefully!

Buzz Groups

Renwick 3 Hit the Dance Floor!

Yesterday we had our annual folk dancing display for our parents, whanau and friends. Here we are getting ready to 'rumble' to the Jiffy Mixer.
We had such a super time performing our dances and by looking at the smiles on our families faces we suspect they loved it to!

Discovering Nelson

Last week as part of our inquiry learning we went to explore inside The Cathedral. We found it was very quiet, had beautiful windows and was very old. Lots of people use the Cathedral for different reasons, such as, admiring the building, looking at the windows, a quiet place to come and sit or pray and to listen to beautiful singing and music. We think the Cathedral is special to our community!
