Algebra

We are learning about algebra. Algebra is about patterns. Today we made some patterns. Then we had to swap every few minutes and continue someone else's pattern.














Can you figure out Cooper's tricky pattern?

Dress Rehearsal

Today was our dress rehearsal for our Celebration of the Arts.
Thank you to all the parents who have helped out with our amazing costumes. All the time that you have put in has really been appreciated.

Here is our class story we wrote today after our dress rehearsal.

We felt excited to perform our production, but a bit nervous when we saw the audience.  The whole school sung Tena Koutou loudly.  Next, we waited quietly in Room 7 for our turn to perform.  It was a wee bit scary and nerve-wrecking once we saw the audience.  When the music started it was ok because we were happy to be performing  At the end of our performance we felt proud because we tried our best. 

Below is a sneaky peak of some of the photos from our dress rehearsal. - Thanks Bridget for taking them!

Wiggles the Lamb

We were all excited to walk down to Ali's house to visit his lamb.
When we first got there Wiggles was in his pen. Wiggles was really thirsty, so Ali's mum got him some lamb milk. Everyone got to feed him. After that we had a play and some delicious muffins in the sunshine. It was exciting to see Wiggles because for lots of us it was our first time feeding a lamb.

The Playground Opening

Everybody was really excited for the opening of the playground! Lots of parents were taking lots of photos.  It was fun and it looked cool.  Everybody shouted and cheered for Hannah, because she cut the ribbon.  Finally Mr Cameron spoke and he said, "I wish I was a Sumner School kid," and...
he was because he took off his jacket and pants and he had a Sumner School top and shorts underneath.  He raced up the top of the spider web.

Ngā mihi

We are learning our ngā mihi ... How to greet someone.

Here is a puppet pal showing how to greet two people.

To say hello to two you say tēnā korua.
