Lovin' Your Spy Eyes Evie!

Have you been keeping a look out too?

Assembly in Room 17

You made a great job presenting a varied and interesting programme.
We began with children sharing their mihi then enjoyed watching Kiwi Kids News Term Three. I could count on you to sing the Bruno Mars song well - well done. The play went well as did the alliteration sentences.

Blaze and Soumadeep managed to get the whole Year Three team cooperating in the massage circle at the end - that was outstanding!

Some Springtime Sentences

Phair Photos Phrom Sophie

Thanks Sophie for these photos. The posters are very eye catching aren't they?

Alliteration Action

The focus for our writing this week has been on creating sentences that pack a punch using alliteration.
Today we went out to make observational notes about Spring at St Albans.

Au Revoir Lily

We hope you:

make magical memories

eat fabulous french food

see scintillating sights

learn lots.

Kia pai te haere, hoki pai mai.

Travel safely and return safely.

Fitness Circuit

For fitness we are focussing on the same four areas as always, but using different equipment and skills.
Cardio fitness - being heart and lung strong: skipping and running
Muscle strength: adventure playground activities designed to build upper body strength like climbing the fire fighters pole
Coordination: throwing and catching, skipping, swinging and climbing
Team work and cooperation: ball skills, running circuit

Fantastic Fitness Fun

Mufti Day on Wednesday

Remember to ask Mum and Dad to organise a bottle of something for you to bring to school on Wednesday. These will be used for prizes at the fair. It could be drink (but not booze), sauce, shampoo or other smellies like perfume.

Another Fair Poster

Thanks to Ms Neale for sending this photo through. Have your spy eyes seen any yet? You could also send me a photo of you AT a fair.

Happy Birthday Lily

To our own lovely Lily 

we hope you have a lilylicious day!

Fair Posters

I took a couple of photos on my bike ride to school this morning.

Tanner found more information about the Lochness Monster Garage Sale on their school's facebook page.

Rebus Stories

Thanks to the group who were reading the rebus story for showing us how to create them.  I love making messages using the technique.  Here is one I wrote this evening.

Fair Posters

When you are out and about this week see how many posters you see advertising fairs. Maybe you could take a photo of one of those posters and email it to me at anna.ashby@stalbans.school.nz.

Happy Birthday Hasini

We hope your day is a very happy one!

Well Done Tanner and Brooke

Tanner and Brooke both sorted out the puzzle of OCTober being the tenth month, not the eighth month as you'd think. In fact it used to be the eighth month, NOVember was the ninth and DECember was the tenth and SEPTember was the seventh. January and February were added to the calendar by the ancient Romans so everything got budged on a couple of spaces..
Speaking of calendars- did you get yours out of your bags this afternoon and give them to your family?
