Term 3 Week 6

Another busy week in Room 19 and lots to celebrate.

At the Celebration Assembly on Monday we were treated to a performance by the kapa haka team - what an outstanding group we have at St Albans. Thomas received a certificate and prize for being one of the top fund raisers in the recent Maths-a-thon. Great work Thomas. Thank you to everyone who helped the children practise and get sponsors, we are looking forward to getting some more math equipment in the classrooms. If your sheet is still outstanding or you have lost it, please let the office know.

On Tuesday we listened to some great poetry. Well done to Holly, Noah and Brooke M who represented our class in the Year One and Two Poetry competition. We were very proud of you and think you did an awesome job. Congratulations to Eve, Riley B (Room 16) and Isabelle (Room 18) who came 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Mondrian Inspired Art

Last week we learnt about the artist Piet Mondrian (1872 - 1944). We looked at images of his paintings and then created our own in a similar style.
