Cross Country Day
Tuesday 31 May
This afternoon we had the school cross country races. The weather was fine with a little wind. All the races were held up at Greenmeadows by the Stoke shops.
We walked up to Greenmeadows and when we arrived the senior children were already racing. We sat down on the bank to watch.
The five year old boys raced first followed by the five year old girls. We had to race down the hill and then around the field. All the training that we did helped us to race better.
Have a look at the photos and tell us what you think.

The Wheels Are Rolling!
We are continuing the topic from last term but this time we have a different emphasis. We have been talking about wheels with a focus on wheels that help us. This topic could be huge but we have narrowed it down to the ambulance, fire engine and police car. We have had lots of interesting discussions and activities related to this, including a mosaic fire engine with pasted on pieces.
Soon we will be concentrating more on Science with the Science Fair coming up and deciding what our class investigation will be.
A big welcome back to Hannah who has had a wonderful 2 weeks on a cruise ship in the Pacific.
Thursday will see the teachers from the Stoke/Tahunanui ICT Cluster coming through to look at all the ICT work happening in our school.
It's good to be back after my sad time in Dunedin. Nikkie and Rebecca did a great job in my absence.

Week 2
Ooops! There was so much happening during the week I didn't make time to post this.
We missed Mrs Mansson last week while she was in Dunedin following the passing of her dad. However we welcomed Miss Whitehead for the week apart from Tuesday when Mrs Robinson was in.
The highlight of the week was a visit by Adrian who brought the "Reading Rocks" show to Birchwood. The children loved the juggling and the unicycle both used to promote a love of reading.
On Monday the children wrote their first story for the term - a recount. We will have lots of practice with our writing during the term. On Thursday Miss Whitehead showed the children how to do prints during the art lesson.
We're waiting until everyone gets back to school before we take a class photo. We've had quite a bit of sickness in the class.

Week 1 - Term 2
Room 2 has opened this week. On Monday we welcomed 12 children to the classroom. Two children were unable to make it on the first day.
On Monday the children learnt how to use the digital camera under the watchful eye of Mrs Mansson. You can see their efforts displayed in class. They also drew some terrific pictures of vehicles as part of our wheels topic.
Maths and Reading groups are now underway and we had our first visit to the library on Wednesday. Mr Herrick visited the class on Wednesday during a Printing lesson. The children were able to show him what they could do.
