Some of the things we have done this term are
- SWIMMING: We had swimming 2 or 3 times a week in the school pool. When we got in the water was very cold. Most of us got better at swimming. We enjoyed it even though it was cold. We know that it is important to get better at swimming to keep safe when we are at the river or beaches.
- GREY WARBLER: Mrs Baillie found a grey warbler's nest. We didn't know at first who had built the nest. So some of us did some research to find out more. We found out that grey warblers eat insects, that it's nest hangs from the top, that it's Maori name is riroriro.
We read a book by Janet Marshall which told us about the shining cuckoo which steals the grey warblers nest and lays its own egg in the nest for the little riroriro to look after. - ATHLETICS: The Year 3 and 4 classes had a great day at athletics. We did the shot put, high jump, long jump, sprints and relays. 3 in our class were chosen to represent the school at the Interschool Athletics. They were Heath, Biship and Christian.

Wow - you are lucky kids to have cool teachers who teach you lots of interesting stuff - I enjoyed taking you to the library visit a couple of weeks ago and I really enjoyed the trip to the Woolshed. It was real fun driving through the muddy puddles!!
