Last Friday we had a special assembly in the afternoon. Thew whole school and community whanau were entertained by some amazing tamariki who sang and danced in the talent quest finals. Throughout the week the heats for Pikopiko, Pohutukawa and Totara were held during lunch time. This gave us an oppportunity to see the amazing talent we have at our school. Finally on Friday the "best of the best" performances were showcased again and two special judges choose the first place. One of the finalists was Kiana who sang a Bruno Mars song accompanied by her dad on the guitar. We were so proud of her especially when we found out that she had entered at the last minute!

B3 finally wins
Two Fridays ago B3 finally won class of the week in assembly! We won it by sitting up nicely, not talking, not swinging our legs and joining in. We won a trophy, a springy teddy bear and a certificate for two weeks. During the next assembly Whaea Susan and two children will be choosing the next best class of the week. We were really excited and proud when we won.

"Measuring" with Whaea Jess
One of our Maths topics this term is "Length". Whaea Jess has been teaching us about non-standard units of measurement. We have learned that a hand span, foot length and pace (or stride) are ways of measuring length. These methods of measuring are used when you don't have a ruler or tape measure.On Friday afternoon Whaea Jess had a really cool hands-on measuring activity for us to do. We had to measure a vaierty of things. First we had to choose which method of measuring we would use and then we had to estimate (guess) the length. Finally we had to take an actual measurement. Check out our video footage!
Cross Country Champions
Jasper won the Cross Country for "Year 3 Boys'. Jasper held onto his early lead and completed the course with ease. Jasper trained extremely hard in the lead up to cross country.
Cross Country Champions
Mickayla won the Cross Country for "Year 3 Girls" on Wednesday. She was streaks ahead of the rest of the group and never slowed her pace. All that training over the past 4 weeks certainly paid off Mickayla!

On Friday afternoon Te Ao brought her turtle "Bill" into our class for a visit! We got to see Bill move around (he was quite fast) and ask Te Ao lots of questions, here is what we found out.
- her son named him "Bill"
- she feeds him food pelets
- he is quite fast when he moves
- he hides inside his shell when he is afraid or when it is too noisy
- he sticks his head out when he thinks there is food to eat
- his teeth are quite sharp

Athletics Day!
Tuesday 8th and Wednesday 9th of March were the two days Pohutukawa and Totara tamariki had athletics. They had been training for the past 5 weeks in preparation for the event. The events were shotput, long jump, high jump, vortex, cricket throw and then the track events - 60m, 100m and 200m sprint. Everyone had an awesome time over both days as the sun was shining, the kids were in high spirits and the competition tough! The high lights were the finals of the track events and the class relays. Those children who were placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd overall will now represent Glenholme at the Interschool athletics competition in a few weeks time. Kia kaha tamariki, go hard!

Fundraising for Christchurch
Today the whole school wore mufti clothes to raise money for the people of Christchurch who were affected by last weeks horrendous earthquake. The theme was "Red & Black" which are Canterbury colours. We also sat in silence for 2 minutes which gave us time to reflect about what they are going through and how lucky we are here in Rotorua. We raised over $400.00, wow what an amazing effort. All the money raised will go directly to the people in Christchurch. We felt proud that our class could do their bit to help out, don't we look smart in our "Red & Black" clothes!
