Windy days (such as our recent weather) now have a whole new meaning for the children of the Paper Plus class....

Today they learnt that:
After Ranginui and Papatuanuku separated (as per the Maori creation story) their son, Tawhirimatea became very angry.  He often reminds us of this through his fierce winds, sleety winds, hurricanes, hailstorms etc.

Super well done to Jesse for reading this story to us in Maori!!  
Miss Church

How many times can you write your name in a minute?  How about reciting the alphabet?  How many times can you pack your school bag?  Or wash and dry your hands?   Can you stand on one leg for a minute?  Or hold your arms out (as they get heavy and tired)?  
The Paper Plus class have been investigating all these questions, you've often wondered about, and more.

Look at our professional shotput stances.  We are getting ready to perform our best at the Athletics on 22nd October.

Testing our knowledge of reading various analogue times in Term 3.
