Week 3, Term 2

On Monday we had a very special visitor come to our assembly. Christian Cullen. Christian was an All Black and was well known for how fast he can run with the ball. He didn't come to talk about rugby though, he came to talk about raising money for the Rescue Helicopters. These helicopters cost a phenomenal amount of money each time they go out on a mission. Along with a number of other local schools Nelson Central is involved in a competition to raise the most money for this cause. If we win Richie McCaw will come to visit us!


Magic Magnets
This week we have been exploring magnets. We took the magnetic wands around the room to see what they would stick to.

Buddy Time
Every other Friday afternoon we get together with our Big Buddies from Room 8. We love this special time. This week we shared some of our work with them. Then we went outside to practise our catching skills. We are lucky to have such kind and caring buddies who love to help us.

Next week...

Our sounds will be ue, er, ar, wh.
Our words will be of/where or would/why.
During maths we are looking at patterns that make 5 and 10.
This week during our topic we will be exploring why magnets will only pick up certain types of materials.
Apologies for the misunderstanding over the cake stall last week. It will take place this Thursday lunchtime. More details will come. Please keep your eye on the newsletter.
This Friday 27th is 'Wacky Hat' day. This is another fundraising event for the Rescue Helicopters.
As the weather has cooled considerably more and more children are coming to school in trainers. If they are lace up shoes can you please ensure your child is able to tie laces. We take our shoes on and off during the day and as you can imagine it is very time consuming for me to tie up numerous shoes. There are certain 'stretchy' shoe laces that you can buy which do not require lacing up, these are another good option. Thank you for your co-operation.
Have a happy week!
