Week 1

We have had a busy start to Term 3. Room 12 made class dollars and are saving hard to buy lots of amazing things! If we want to be the teacher for the day we need to save $1400!! 

The Commonwealth Games began this week. We learnt that Captain Bristle was to set sail around the Commonwealth, and to remember the Dear Green Place he took a pot of thistles on his travels. As he travelled to each of the 71 nations and territories of the Commonwealth, loading and unloading cargo and passengers, he went for a wee walk to plant a thistle, leaving a small piece of Scotland in each place. This is why Clyde is the Mascot of this years Games.

Our Inquiry this Term is all about Inventors and Inventions. We have already been wondering if any New Zealander's have invented anything.
