Kete Tatahi- beach Baskets
We made some Maori Kete to display beach pictures. We tried hard to include things you see, find, wear and like to do at the tatahi- beach.
Athletics Sprints trials
Today we all had a sprint race to see who will be in the whole school relay! Lots of Room 16 made it through. Mrs Key will let us know who is in tomorrow.
Not everyone managed to get a photo but some of us did. What a day for racing!

Week 1 Term 4
What a fantastic start to the term! I have been blown away by the children's readiness to learn. They have been so calm and SO attentive. A very promising start.
We got stuck into out narrative writing this week- you can see more about them on the blog. Our 'hamburger retelling' was a hit with an easy story broken into piece by piece.
We also had a big push on skip counting in 5's. It would be great to practice calling out a number and asking your child to say what is 5 more (within the easy 5's numbers e.g. 25, 40 etc... not 21 or 37).
A reminder that we have Athletics Day next Wednesday weather permitting. I also forgot to send home the beginning of term 4 news letter so will do so on Monday. It mentions the annual Team 4 fundraiser of calendars and cards. Unfortunately there was a 4 week delay in getting the paper etc sent out but will be here Monday. This means if you are keen on ordering one, the art will be viewable hopefully from Wednesday next week and all orders need to be in by Thursday week 3- Thursday 10th November! Sorry about the short notice. I hope to have art in a display book by Thursday next week at the latest.
Have a fantastic weekend.

End of Term 3
Wow, another term over! It's incredible how fast it has gone, I almost can't believe we've only been at Van Asch for 7 weeks!
I would like to thank each and every one of you for your on going support. Your support throughout this term and year so far has helped things run so smoothly. So thank you very much.
The sock puppets turned out well. I can imagine you appreciated the 'miowing', that went with the puppets, just as much as I did! :)
The children and I reflected today how nice it is that we have so many new things on our wall space, to show all the fun learning we've been doing this term here at Van Asch.
I truly wish you all a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. I can't wait to see everyone's smiling faces next term.
Take care,
Heidi
