Party to Farewell Miss Graham

On Friday we had a party to say goodbye to our College Teacher, Miss Graham.  We gave her two big bunches of flowers from our home gardens to say thank you.  We had fun with Miss Graham and we will miss her heaps because she was a great College Teacher.  We are pleased she has a job in Te Kuiti for next year.
She read us two Roald Dahl books.  For maths we did fractions with playdough.  We made space collages and did drama about space for out topic.  Miss Graham said she will come and see us in the production.
The Middle Team are divided into three groups and are learning their parts for the Production on Friday 13th December, in the Regent Theatre.    It is 11 more sleeps until then.  We all need a costume for it so please check out the note that comes home.
We have a new girl called Nadia in our class.  She came from Christchurch.
Lastly, we almost have everyone with a sunhat at school.  Can we be the first class to do that???
