Today was a beautiful Wellington day. We took advantage of the weather and wrote outside.
Hadley's poem:
Grass twitching
Birds flapping
Children running
Sea boats making noise
Pizza oven grilling
Sausages sizzling
People silent
Kids sing songs
Fish paintings

Problem Posing: How much money to we need to grow our garden?
Today in Maths, we were asked, “ How much money do we need to buy plants for our garden?” As part of our Inquiry about Change, we will be finding out about how plants grow.
Our focus was to ask good Mathematical and relevant questions.
We had to work as a team to come up with these questions. Here are some of the questions that we came up with:
1. Where is the garden? Thomas
2. How much space do we have in our garden? Lily S/ Pippa
3. What type of soil do we need? Rim
4. What season are we planting our seeds in? Charlotte
5. Where do we get plants from? Joni
6. Thinking about where we plant our garden, what do the plants need? What conditions do they need? Nela/ Ruby
7. How many plants do we need to buy? Lachlan
8. How big do the plants grow? Violeta
9. How long do the plants take to grow? Leola
10. When is a good time to plant the plants? Emelia
11. Do we need to grow them a little bit inside first? Talia
12. How many seeds are there in one packet? RimMessage from Shona, Scott, Nicola and Susie:
This term we are continuing our Kitchen Science Inquiry and then moving on to an Inquiry around plants. We are keen to get the children growing various things, so the New World promotion is very timely. If possible, would you please be able to send one free Seedling Kit along to school for your child to grow. (They come free from New World if you spend $40). I have a friend who has obviously spent many amounts of $40 and she has given me her kits, so I have spares if anybody needs one. Alternatively, if you have any spares would you please send them along just in case.
We would also appreciate it if you have any spare empty plant containers that we can recycle and use for growing some other plants.
And if anyone lives nearby, and has a garden that they are happy for the children to look at, it would be lovely for some groups to see a garden in action.
Travelling Tales
We have been working on a story project called "Travelling Tales". Some of our students helped to write the story. The story started in a school in Luxembourg then was passed on to a school in Taiwan/ Taipei. It arrived with us today. We're really excited about finding out how the story will end... watch this space!

Congratulations Chrissy!
Hope you are all doing well and you had a brilliant holiday!
Over the holidays our baby girl was born - her name is Nyala (Nee - Ya - Lah) on the 7th of October 2016 at 12.18am. She weighed 3.1kg which is not very big!! I imagine some of you weighed that when you were born. Maybe ask mum and dad tonight what you weighed and for maths you could do a graph to see the change in your weigh from then until now! That would be interesting. You could also see the different weights in the class and graphs those up! ️
I just wanted to share the big news with you all and wish you all the best for the first day back at school.
I miss you all so much and will be in soon so you can all meet baby Nyala.
Love Chrissy
P.E.
Today was such a beautiful day that we were able to go outside for a game.
Susie taught us how to play "Five".
We have to remember our sunhats when we go outside now, because we do not want to get sunburnt!
