Eisteddfod Update: Scripture
Reading:
Students have
begun practicing their introductions and scripture in class time. Everyone has
been offered a scripture if they do not wish to find one of their own. Please
let me know early this week if there are any issues with your child’s choice,
or with their preparation for eisteddfods.
Poi-making:
We had a fun afternoon on Friday making poi
with Room 3. This is so we can add a poi song/dance to our repertoire of
waiata. The children made a great start on their poi. They practised the skills
of tying knots, plaiting, and generally following quite tricky instructions.
Thank you Mrs Beilby for providing the materials and leading the way.
Flag-banner for Frans:
Thank you to Mrs Battrick for providing us
with the materials to make a flag banner for Frans. We have completed the flags,
and Mrs Battrick will now sew them together to make a wall-hanging, which we
will send to Frans. The children have continued to take turns entertaining
George throughout the day at school and in the weekends. We have updated Frans’
google doc with regular photos and stories, and it was cool to receive a photo
and message from Frans last week. We wish Frans all the best for his continued
care and recovery.
Inquiry/Garden Project:
The next step in our Garden Project is to
take a closer look at what happens to food between when it is grown, and when
it gets to our table. How natural are the foods we eat? What ingredients are
added to food in order for them to be canned or packaged? Where do some of our
most common foods come from? What are the most widely grown crops around the
world?
Have a great week.
Regards, Markelle Ward J
