Swimming finishes . . . tennis begins!

On Monday we begin our tennis programme.  We will have a session each Monday for 4 weeks with Suzanne.  Could any children who still need to pay the $5 for this programme, please give the money to Mrs Trolle as soon as possible?

Giant Snail Exhibition

On Thursday morning at 9.30 am we are going to the Nelson Museum to see the Giant Snail exhibition.
It will be interesting to see the large native snails we have in New Zealand and to find out how we can protect them.  Thank you to all of the parents and caregivers who have offered transport.  Mrs T will be in contact to confirm the transport early next week.

Marshmallows and Toothpicks

Today Room 6 used marshmallows and toothpicks to create some geometric structures for maths.  We found that triangles were the strongest shape to use in our designs.  Some people made houses, some made cubes and pyramids.

Our favourite part was eating our structures at the end!

Maths Week

This week is Maths week.  Around NZ lots of students will be involved in solving maths problems and having fun with numbers.  We will be posting photos and stories about what Room 6 do during maths week.  Here is a link to the Maths Week website.  There are games and activities you may wish to try . . .
