Welcome to Maths Week. It has been "all go" in BD Class. On Monday we got stuck into the Maths Week website. Mr D gave us all a special username and code to do a whole lot of fun maths activities. He brought the laptop pod into class so we all had a go at the games.

We can practise these games at home because Mr D got us to glue our usernames and passwords into our reading notebooks. We can check it out by going to www.mathsweek.org.nz.

We got into some more tricky vowel sounds this week as well. It is amazing how many words we can find with these vowel sounds in them!

Our class has a new favourite song! It is called "Good Time" by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen. We sung it at least 5 times today. Here it is so you can learn the words to the song.

Mr D has finally finished our Olympic Report podcast. You can see them on the next blog post

Wow! What a great day. On Tuesday we had our Olympic Day. It was such a great day. We all participated keeping the Olympic Values very much alive.

It was such a fun day. We did all sorts of activities and games. We got to meet an Olympian, Evelyn Williamson, and had the medal ceremony. It was awesome.

It was such a fun day. Congratulations to Sam and Hayley - Samoa (Gold Medals), Brooke - Belgium (Silver) and Celestine - India (Bronze.)

It was another busy day in BD Class. This morning we had another go at doing some report writing. This time we wrote about the importance of eating healthy. We brainstormed our ideas then got stuck into writing our reports. We tried to make sure that our ideas were in order.

After morning tea we did some great artwork. We were doing some practise for our Art Exhibition artworks. We are keeping it a bit of a secret what we are going to be doing for the exhibition.
