It's been great!

It's that time of the year to look back on all of the special times we have had and to say 

"Merry Christmas, have a safe New Years

and a well earned holiday!"

Huffing and Popping

Last week we (finally) had out Huff N Puff running races.  We had practised over the last few weeks and we were ready to go! Everyone did a great job.

Last week we also said goodbye to Mrs Townsend who had been working in Room 5 as a student teacher. We all loved her enthusiasm and teaching us a new fitness game. We will miss her.

To finish off our inquiry unit we explored the changes that happen to corn kernels when we heat them. We hypothesised that it might only be a temporary change if we put popped corn back into the microwave or left it in some water. In the end, we found out that it is a permanent change.

On Wednesday, the Takapuna Librarian came to school to show us some New Zealand authored books and to tell us that we can go to the library in the holiday.
