Room 6 Newsletter Term 3 Week 5
Another busy week of learning is finished. The Kapa Haka Noho was a great success and the children learnt a lot more about the Maori culture and how to be on a Marae.
Food Glorious Food
Our next concept is Change. We are looking at how temperature causes food to change -
kitchen science and cooking! As we will be eating most of the things we make, we are
checking whether there are any foods your child should avoid.
Please let us know whether any foods are a problem for your child.
Cross Country:
This Friday is our school cross country. Start time is 10am. Your child is to bring an old towel in a named plastic bag for after their race to for washing their feet if they choose to run in bare feet. They will also need their school Phys Ed shorts and a whanau coloured t shirt.
