Meghana Greets us from India!

Meghana sent us a message from India. We looked on Google Earth to see where she was when she sent it - it looks like a busy city!

Hey, Mrs Bismark and room 1 ,

I hope you had a good time. I feel sad that I missed it (the triathlon) but I'm having such a good time here.

I have A little baby cousin who is six months old and so cute and chubby. He just had his Anaprasana { first feeding rice ceremony and first solids} Solids, now where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, we're studying them. I'm even learning a bit here. It' really fun.

I miss you guys. It's very hot. I bet it could melt butter.

I've been traveling quite a lot now. Right now i'm in Nizambad. I went to a temple just yesterday. It was Ugadi. It means Telugu{my mother tongue} New year. It took me 24 hours hours to get here. 12 hours wait in Malaysia.

Surprise waiting for U ??????????????????? I cant wait to see you guys,

Meghana{India}

I wonder what the temperature is compared to Tokomaru?

How many people live in India?

What do you have to do for Anaprasana?

Do you have any questions for Meghana?

Leave your questions for Meghana in the comments section or on Meghana's blog.

This week we began a big focus on knowledge in Maths.  As part of this we have Step Up Ladders in our Home Connection books.  These ladders are highlighted up to the step on the ladder that we are working on. 

So far Ella, Lukaz, Shayde, and Charlotte have moved up a step (in some cases even a whole stage!) so a huge congratulations to you four students. 


Don't forget to put your name on the 'Ready to be Tested' chart when you think you are ready to Step Up!
