Term 4 Week 2 - Pet Day

Excitement today as the Lower Mataura Valley Pet Day was held - attended by pupils from Edendale, Wyndham and Glenham.


The Wyndham Showgrounds were busy, with lambs, dogs, ponies, goats, calves, cats, birds and rabbits on show.

 The sheds were full of fruit and vegetable creations (some very clever designs!), beautiful floral arrangements, models, inventions...
...and lots of delicious-looking baking (thanks to Hannah who treated the staff with her chocolate cake afterwards - yummo!)

 
 Everyone from Edendale School who entered should be very proud of their efforts - well done to you all!

Thankfully the weather was mostly on our side and we got the day out of the way before the southerly squall turned up - the Tour of Southland cyclists will be pleased about that too, as they made their way through Wyndham just before lunchtime.


Thanks to all parents and staff and community volunteers who helped make Pet Day such a good experience for the pupils!

 This week we welcomed Mr Graeme Pirie to our classroom for the next three weeks as he carries out his teacher-training posting for the University of Otago.  Mr Pirie is great to have with us as an extra pair of hands and we are looking forward to having him teach us for different lessons over the next two weeks.  We hope you enjoy your time with us Mr Pirie.

This week we have been writing and publishing our instructions on how to be a...(certain character) - these are very funny to read so look out for them on our pupil blogs!

For maths we are back in our numeracy groups and looking at multiplication/division. Our art for the next couple of sessions will be based on creating our own version of batik on cloth!
