Buzzy Bees in Room 3!

We are incredibly proud of ALL of the children.  They worked very very hard on our Honey Production.  I have taken individual photos of all of the children and I will send them home next week.  In the meantime...... here is a class photo.

It's show time!

We are really excited to perform our Honey show this week. Rimu team have worked hard all term learning songs, dances and actions and we can't wait to share our hard work with everyone.
Here is a sneak peak of our cute bee costumes...

Our Bees

On Friday morning some students from Room 19 came to talk to us about how they care for the bees in our school.

They showed us some of the important equipment they use when they enter the beehive.
We know they must wear special clothes to keep them safe from the bees.
We also found out that they blow smoke into the hive which helps to calm the bees so they don't sting the beekeeper!!
Thank you so much for coming to share your amazing knowledge about our school bees with us.

Matariki

     We have been learning about Matariki. 

To celebrate Matariki, all of the classes in our school made a special cloak and presented it during assembly.

Here is a picture of Room 2's cloak.

We ended our Matariki celebrations by sharing some kai with our buddy class.

play based learning

Thorsten and Shivani made a swimming pool out of playdough. They made a big pool for the adults and a small pool for the children. Great team work you two!

We really enjoyed our milo and muffin fundraiser this week. A nice warm milo and yummy muffin was just the thing to warm us up on a cold winters day.

Duffy Show

We were very excited to see the Duffy Show today.

 We watched and laughed and learned all about the joy of reading books.

We all sang the Duffy song.  "Going to read it, read about it, I'm a Duffy Kid and so proud of it!"
