New class member Nibblet

This is Nibblet the mouse.She has been here for two weeks.She has shiny dark fur and due to her lazyness and hunger she is quite FAT.
At first she was shy and hid in her little house.But now she is coming out more often.She also has an adorable habbit of nibbling on your finger when you stick it in her cage(Hence the name Nibblet). We had a stall that was orginised by Jessica,Stella and Xiling (With a little help from Xiaoling and Theresa).We all love her very much.

Newsletter Term 4 Week 2

Shalom and welcome to Week Two for Term 4

It was great to see all (well not Louis - SUNBURN!) of the children back last week and we also welcomed a new member to our class - Jiwon, as well as Miss Annalise Vannoort and also not forgetting "Nibblet" the mouse, our class pet - well done the the Pet Committee who organised this! (photo coming!)

Well done to all our members of the Senior Choir who performed at the Christchurch Schools' Music Festival on Friday. My Uncle went along to support Avonhead School and said it was a marvellous evening of stunning singing - well done!

This week we have the Athletics Eliminations, a visit to the Gym again and a visit to see the Middle School Production.

Week One
We had our first of four gym visits to the Christchurch School of Gymnastics, we looked at the written form for multiplication and division in the Room 7 maths' class. In language we looked at Homophones and we sang a song about the Homework Blues. Miss V read us a neat story and we enjoyed our new class shared novel, Maurice Gee's "Under the Mountain". We made our "Christmas boxes" to send overseas.

Week Two
This week we have the Fendalton Spelling test and an Asttle Reading test also. We have a visit to the CSG on Wednesday and a visit to the Ngaio Marsh Theatre on Thursday to see the Middle School Production - parents are welcome to join us on either of these trips.

Newsletter Term Four Week 1


Hi and welcome to Week One for Term 4

Well, the last term for 2009! We had a great finish to last term and were sad to see Mr Prattley leave us but today we have Miss Annelise Vannoort from the University starting with us for the next four weeks.

Well done to Annabelle (pictured) who ran so well at the Inter-Regional Cross Country last term.

Mrs Norton said the Flow Day was great and all the children were fantastic for the last two days of term and helped clear the class as our carpet was cleaned over the holidays.

Week One
This week we will have our first of four gym visits to the Christchurch School of Gymnastics - can children please wear School P.E. uniform each Wednesday for the next four Wednesdays. We will look at the written form for multiplication and division in the Room 7 maths' class. In language we will look at Homonyms and in writing we will finish some work on persuasive writing. We will sing a song about the Homework Blues and finalise our Athletics qualifiers for next Monday.
