Our Butterfly

Today Team Toru were lucky enough to see one of our butterflies get ready to fly away.  It came out of it's cocoon just before lunch and then we let it go outside later on in the afternoon.  We enjoyed watching it open and close it's wings as it got ready to fly :-)

Super Reading

Team Toru are getting into the swing of things at Reading time.  We are following our activities and enjoying the choices we have.  Check out these Super Stars!

Tuakana Teina Buddies - Room 11

Today we had our very first get-together with our Tuakana Teina buddies.  Room 11 and Miss BT came over to our class.  We paired up with our new buddy and then Team Toru shared their Writing. Room 11 children had been learning about WOW words and had also been talking about how to give feedback.  
Look at all of these happy faces :-)

  

Whanau Night

We had an amazing night last night.  Thank you to all of the families that came along to share in the evening :-)  It was great to be able to talk about what is, and what will be happening in Team Toru.  We are going to have a fabulous year!

Maths Fun Today

Today Team Toru had a couple of challenges.  Firstly we had to count out 30 matchsticks.  Using all 30 matchsticks, we had to write our name... we were not allowed to use any more, and had to use all that we had.  We then had to use the same matchsticks to make a face.  Team Toru worked very hard to rise to the challenge!
