Bradley's cow

"It looks delicious!"

My buddy made it. You can't even see its ears because there aren't any! We had to fold it and I'm allowed to keep it!

Term 1: swimming

Ruma Tuarua loved swimming at Queenspark's pop-up pool!

...and some action shots :-)

Our friends at Avonhead School

Here is a link to a blog by children at Avonhead School. They have been learning about tadpoles and frogs. We might be interested in finding out more about having tadpoles in the classroom...

Welcome back!

It is so great to see our Freeville Flyers again. Welcome back to Freeville School and to Ruma Tuarua.

Mihimihi

Here is the extremely belated video of our clever inquiry group presenting their mihi at the end of term 2. They had so much to say that I couldn't figure out how to upload the gigantic video we made!

Maths Week

This week is maths week at Freeville School! Each child has their own username and password for the Maths Week website which includes activities and challenges -- these should have come home attached to last Friday's newsletter. Children can earn points to "spend" on auctions.

Here are some more websites with great maths activities and games to share at home this week:
