Week 7 in Rimu 5

Geographically, 'Rimu 6' as a class name makes sense for the classroom we are now in. We started the year as 'Rimu 5' and are now fantastic as responding to 'Rimu 5' or 'Rimu 6'. If you ever here of Rimu 6 being mentioned, that's us, but we're also Rimu 5. Make sense?!

Here are some wonderful members of our class accepting certificates this week at the Rimu Hui. There's an extra child, Libby, as she was awarded once for excellent co-operation yesterday at Discovery in our class. The others will let you know what they got their certificate for.


We had a fantastic visit by some ANZ workers. They talked about saving money and profit and loss (in relation to our Rimu Market coming up in two weeks). We've also been working with coins in class this week and doing a little shopping of our own. 

Check out this new game, 'Pop to the Shops'. It helps the children understand how to make up amounts using the coins they have and how to give change to customers. 


This is where it's great to know how to add and subtract multiples of 10.

The RIMU MARKET is Thurs 8th Dec. In the morning, your child will have a chance to be first in to buy their own bath bomb. You can send money in for this. In the afternoon, the whole syndicate will roam the classes looking to purchase left-over bombs and some sweets. More info to come!
