Kia ora e te wh\u0101nau,<\/p>

We can't believe there's only one more week of Term 3 left. We have been really enjoying the warmer weather and far fewer wet days indoors. This is a good reminder to dig out those sunhats ready for term 4.<\/p>

Well done to our learners who auditioned for the talent quest which is being held next week. We loved seeing the joy you had in performing. Thanks for sharing your talents with us!<\/p>

Cricket Awareness Skills Sessions<\/h3>

Last week we were lucky to experience cricket sessions with Southern Districts & South East \u014ctautahi Cricket Club. Each home group had time over at the hall, learning new skills, such as batting and bowling. If your child came home buzzing, check out the brochure and information below, with how to access further cricket lessons.<\/p>

\"At Beckenham Park, we not only deliver cricket for all ages, but a quality, engaging sport and physical activity program that we deliver through play, using our natural environment and varied equipment. We aim to improve the physical literacy of our community and encourage them to stay physically active. We would love to see more of our Beckenham wh\u0101nau join us for a summer of cricket.<\/div>
We have teams from Friday afternoon Smashies, Year 1-2 Cricket through to Year 6 Hardball, and then for our female only players we have teams from Year 3-4 through to Year 8-10.\" - Cat Quinn, Kids in Action Christchurch<\/div>

This task sparked lots of discussion and thinking. In Lisa and Quynh's homegroup, we voted using tally marks, on which dog was the odd one out. Then we were set the challenge to find a second answer. Most people thought that the top right dog was the odd one out. Here are some of our reasons.<\/div>
Top left: \"That dog is facing the other way.\"<\/div>
Top right: \"It is the only one with spots. It must be a dalmation!\"<\/div>
Bottom left: \"It's smaller than the others.\"<\/div>
Bottom right: \"It is long and flat, like a sausage dog!\"<\/div>

<\/div>
We have been enjoying exploring fractions as well as using materials to understand place value.<\/div>
