Meet Gisella from Pippins

My news On Tuesday, I got this special doll called Gisella at Pippins. Every week they choose someone who has been good to take Gisella home. I showed her to room 3 at news time and she got to sit on Mrs Sands chair all day and watch us do work. I have to give her back tomorrow but I love having Gisella with me. I wish I could have her every day. Sammy

Getwise Financial Literacy Lesson

As a part of Mathsweek, we had a special visit from Serena the Superhero from ASB who is a Super saver. She helped all the students to know the value of different coins and notes.

She also taught the children the difference between needs (things we need to survive like water food and electricity); and wants (things we do not need to survive like games and toys and fancy clothes). Sarah got to play a special acting role and decide which money she saved, and which money she spent.

We learnt a valuable rhyme to help us remember:

Speed to your needs

and

Wait for your wants.

Now all the students in Room 3 have the power to be Super savers too. 

Thanks Serena.

Sarah's Information report on butterflies

Sarah shared lots of interesting information about butterflies in her information report. An information report includes a classification, and information about what something looks like, where it lives, what it eats, and other facts. Great work Sarah.

Thank you letters to the Life Education Caravan

We were lucky enough to have Corrine and Harold visit Sunnybrae for the last 2 weeks. We had two sessions in the Life Education caravan where we learnt about being a part of a team, how to know how someone is feeling, and what to do if we have problems. 

The students really enjoyed the lessons and wrote thank you letters for Corrine or Harold. 

Please come in and read our thank you letters in each child's Published Writing folder.
