Cute as!

Look at this beautiful baby rabbit, which Ashlee and her sister bought to show B6!  Cute as.

Maths with Style

Today we started learning about turns.  It's a maths topic that is part of geometry.  We learned to turn our bodies to 90, 180, and 360 degrees.
We watched some skiing and skateboarding clips of people doing turns.  Amazing!
180 on a bike to see how to do a 180 (half turn) on a bike.

American Teachers

On Friday B6 had two lovely visitors.  Sheryl and Kelly are student teachers from America, and they are visiting Glenholme School because they heard how good New Zealand schools are.  They come from very different parts of U.S.A., and have different accents to each other.  Kelly comes from Colorado near the Rocky Mountains, where they have deep, deep snow in winter.  Sheryl comes from Texas, in the south, where it is 40 degrees in summer.  They helped us with our maths, and our sewing.  They showed us on the globe, where their home-towns are.

Wow! We were fantastic today at school assembly.  We won class of the week, and here we are with the certificate, teddy and trophy, feeling very proud.

2nd Prize Class Of The Week

Look at fantastic B6.  We were the second best class at assembly.  Mrs Caudwell is so proud of us.  We were sitting up,  listening carefully, and singing beautifully.  Kei tawhiti!

Harold visits our assembly.

Jordan got a big hug from Harold, as well as her click-card 1, and  a special pencil.

Bernie brought Harold to visit our assembly on Friday.  He made us laugh.

Foggy Morning

This was the view at Glenholme Reserve last week.  We could hardly see the houses.

Foggy mornings occur when the night temperature is cold (not freezing), and the ground is damp.
The air can't hold all the moisture in vapour, so it turns into a cloud, close to the ground.
Once the sun comes out, and warms the air up, the tiny droplets of the fog evaporate back into the air.
