Odd Shoe Day helped us with our Maths!
We discovered lots of things about pairs, odds and evens and counting in twos.

We enjoyed watching the builders working on our new playground and now it is ready for us to have fun on!

Here we are awaiting the start of our Cross Country races.
Congratulations to our placegetters.  All that hard work at fitness time was worth it!  

At the end of Term 2 we had a visit from Colleen, a Zero Waste educator.  She spoke to us about reducing the waste in our lunchboxes so that we could have 'litterless lunchboxes'.  On her first visit we counted 110 pieces of paper, plastic wrappers and other types of waste that would be going into our bins at school.  On her second visit we had reduced this number to 75.  This trend continues so well done everyone on your efforts to make our lunchboxes 'litterless'.

One of the highlights of our visit was getting really close to the giraffes!

Our Visit to Hamilton Zoo!
Before we started to walk around the zoo we went into the zoo classroom where Ken talked to us about wetlands.

Did you see our photo in the newsletter?

We had a lot of fun visiting the wetlands.

Room 7 has made an autumn display for the foyer.  It looks very colourful.

We are going to be learning more about wetland areas this term.

 We are visiting the Field of Remembrance and the flagpole after our school ANZAC Day assembly.
