Sniffles and snuffles...

There are a few bugs lurking around at the moment so we have kids sniffing and snuffling their way through the school day. Due to the children working in such a close proximity to each other the bugs seem to spread rapidly through the class (even hitting the teacher!!!). Symptoms are flu-like feelings, general tiredness, achy muscles and, in some cases, vomiting.

We are trying to knock this on the head, so, if you notice your child is not 100% please keep them at home until they are feeling better.

We have completed our Geometry unit and the children have created some amazing cuboids and pyramids that are on display in the window of the class. It has been fantastic to see the understanding of geometry develop over the last few weeks, we have a bunch of clever cookies in Room 6!

What a winning weekend for NZ over in Beijing! It has been the hot topic in the class since Monday, and each day there is excitement over our ever increasing medal tally. By the sounds of things we have a few hopeful future Olympians amongst us!

The children in the team are well into learning their dances for the production. It is a huge task getting 130 5 and 6 year olds up on stage performing, but I know that the kids are going to wow the audience come show time! We certainly have a talented bunch of Barbaloots at Muritai School.
Thank you to all the parents who have offered to help cutting or sewing, the more the merrier, 130 suits to be made in 2 weeks, it's a big ask but it can be done, many hands make light work - just see me if you are able to help out!
