Saint Mary

This term's R.E. has focused on Saint Mary.  We have brought icons, books and pictures to share on our Mary table.

We painted pictures about Mary and baby Jesus.  We have made them into a 'talking book' on Littlebird tales.

Buddy time

On Fridays we love spending time with our Year 8 buddies.  This week they helped us answer R.E. survey questions using the laptops and iPads.  We showed them how to log onto our class page using our passwords.

5+ a day

November is 5+ a day month!  We have been learning how eating five servings a day of fruits and vegetables helps us to keep strong and healthy.  We know that one serving will fit into our hand.  We count how many fruits we have in our lunch box, then add to find out how many vegetables we need for dinner!

Here we are saying our poem: I am Colin Carrot Man
                                                You want to eat me when you can.
                                                To clean your teeth straight after lunch
                                                Just eat me with a crunch, crunch, crunch.

Sports day

An extra day of fun after Labour Weekend!  We joined the school at Kaiapoi High to hold our annual athletics sports events.  We started with tabloid activities such as gumboot throw, over and under, tunnel ball and shotput.  After lunch we ran races in our age groups - sprints, sack races, ball-and-spoon, wheelbarrow and hopping races.  Yay!

Dylan starts school

We welcomed Dylan Hamblyn to Rimu in the first week of Term 4.  Dylan got a bike for her birthday!
