The end of a week

We have had a good start to Term 3 and everyone is keen and eager to learn and have fun at school.
This week we have been striving for accuracy in spelling in our writing. We have done a dictation exercise each morning and we can't believe how much we have improved in one week.
We have also started reading a selection of myths and legends and we have read many version of the myth "Maui and the Sun".
Today we started some art work on this myth. We will show you our pictures when they are finished.
We have been talking about questions, the types of questions and we looked at some pictures of the Olympic Games and we had to work in pairs and write down as many questions that we could think of. This was quite challenging and was much more difficult than we thought it would be.
Today was Nelson Mandela's 9oth birthday and we read about him on the internet and we sent him an online birthday greeting.
It was also Nicholas's birthday this week- Happy Birthday Nic!
We also had a chance to work on the laptops this week and we started to set up our own diaries on our class website.
It was a good week.
