Koru decorations!

We showed Rimu Toru how to make these awesome koru decorations. 

We were great teachers - we had to tell our buddies what to do but we weren't allowed to do it for them! 

Weta Houses

Weta Houses painted by members of Rimu 4, 5 and 6. Thank you Holly and Olivia for helping us out with these! We will tie them to some trees around the school for weta to live safely in our community.

                                                      Skipping and moving in different ways

                                                       Playing hand-eye coordination games

Cross Country

What a fantastic effort everyone put into Cross Country!!

We had Roman come first place and Wyatt come third place in the Year 3 Boys. Blake and Will weren't far behind them either.
We had Zoe come first place and Olivia come second place in the Year 3 Girls.

Check out the pictures Mrs. Tennant took for us.

Swimming Sports

Swimming Sports was really fun. First we swam freestyle, second we swam backstroke, then there was breaststroke. The fun races were egg and spoon and push the ball. 

Being on the side was tiring, my throat hurt from screaming everyone's names.

End of Term 1

Kia ora everyone,

Our first term of 2017 is complete! It has been a busy time..
- We have made some great friends in our class
- Launched into our reading, writing and maths programme
- Made it halfway through our bug inquiry unit (with a trip to the Bug Lab!)
- And made sure we got outside to enjoy the final bits of sunshine and fresh air before Winter!

Below are some Bug Lab pictures, one of the last day of term where it was the perfect day to curl up in our PJ's and watch a movie, and then some of the incredible and carefully made books our buddy class wrote for us!

Thanks everyone for making Term 1 so special, have a fun and safe Easter break!
- Mr Smith

 

Capital E!

Last week we went on an exciting trip to see many different types of art for the Capital E Festival.

Firstly, we had a double decker bus take us into Wellington.

Then we had the amazing Anika Moa to get us up dancing and singing.

Next, we learnt a song about whales in Te Reo and had to save the beached whales by keeping them calm, cool, and comfortable.

Lastly, we had a series of stop motion short films to watch. Some of our favourites were 'Shaun the Sheep', the man on stilts, and the love story with the man who could create light bulbs from his mouth!

A big thanks to the parent helpers and all of you in Rimu Wha for being so great and enjoying the different kinds of art. Next up... the Bug Lab at Te Papa!!
