Karearea have had a super week celebrating Matariki, the Maori new year this week! String games hsve been especially popular. Thank you to Jazmin who shared the fun time she had with her whanau on Sunday. We hope to see you at our shared feast at 12.30 in Karearea!
A big thank you to all the parents that came to help us celebrate the opening of our class legend. I was super proud of how our kids read to you and you should be very proud if their efforts!
Meg is working very hard on using different sentence starters and putting similes in her writing. What a super effort Meg describing a swimming cave. Tino pai!
The weather hasn't been great lately but it was great to see the boys from Karearea out playing force em back before school. There was lots of sharing and excitement going on as well as some really big kicks!
This week is the last week if swimming. It has been great to see how much the little fish in Karearea have improved over the 5 weeks! Tino pai Karearea!
On Monday Mr Banks found a BIG vagrant spider in our iPad box. We decided to call him Stanley. We kept him in a jar and had a good look at him. Yesterday we caught a fly to feed him, but he wasn't interested in the fly. At the end of the day we decided to let him go. We put him under a bush near our class. This morning when Mr Banks went to open the class door, a spider web thread hit him in the forehead! We wonder if Stanley made it!
