Week 9, Term 3

What an amazing time we have had this term learning about design and technology. Our overall theme was Terrific Trolleys. We wanted to closely link our learning to our community with this topic. The up and coming release of 'The Kiwi Flyer' seemed to be a fantastic opportunity to hook into. Tim from the Nelson Trolley Club has been a wealth of knowledge and support for us, from guiding us with general design, cutting over 100 blocks of wood, constructing a race ramp to finding sponsorship for our wheels. A huge thank you to Sam and all the parents that have contributed to make our topic so rewarding and memorable.

This Monday afternoon around 5.30pm there is an event at the top of Trafalgar Street with a build up to the premier of the Kiwi Flyer movie. We are encouraging children to come along with their trolleys so we can show case our learning to our community. Tim will have the race ramp there set up for us.
Here is a slide show of our journey!

Next week... At literacy time we are looking at long vowel sounds.
For the next two weeks in maths we will be learning about time, days of the weeks and months of the year. We will be having our folk dancing display in Week 11. A notice will come home to advise the time and place.
Have a happy and safe week!
