Exploring Wellington

Yesterday Room 7 went on a trip around Wellington. We saw a helicopter, a penguin, some statues, a very old cable car. Along the way we walked past the Beehive, Cenotaph, two cathedrals, a wharewaka, Botanical Gardens, the Prime Minister's house, lots of cute little old houses and narrow streets. We played in three different playgrounds and checked out some great playspaces. `We rode on the cable car, the train and did LOTS of walking!

Term 3 in Room 7

These days our class is a big change. Fraser is back from his travel adventure in Canada and we're looking forward to lots of exciting learning experiences too!
Our class this term is going to be learning about fractions.
Home Learning is going to be very challenging- we can earn credit for the activities we've been doing (like learning a musical instrument, going to Bookbusters, playing a team sport or attending children's liturgy). We will also be able to take on new challenges like tidying up a beach, organising games for younger children at school. Big Air is THE BEST! We'll be going there each Wednesday to improve our gymnastic skills. And watch out for our amazing School Production later in the term.
We'll be updating our blog every Monday, also using it to show you our work. So stay tuned for more exciting news!
