Production Poster on PhotoPeach



We had to design a poster advertising our school production. They are bright and colourful and give all of the information required. There were lots of creative ideas which are fabulous to see, well done to all of those children who completed their work.

Our Awards This Week Go To...

This week our awards go to two very deserving girls.

Our Value is Consideration and we always think of D.B when we think of consideration. Always thinking of others and showing a very thoughtful and caring nature is why D.B is getting this week's values card.

K.R has been working very hard lately and is producing some great work. She has also won a part in our Production and is working hard to learn her lines....

Well done to you both!!

How to say "hello" in Korean...

Our school welcomed a group of 17 teachers and students from Korea this morning. We are lucky enough to have them with us for 4 weeks.

The fierce boys did an awesome haka to welcome our guests.

A welcome waiata for our guests.

The Kapa Haka group in action.

The Korean students singing us a song.

Our amazing school choir singing to our guests.

If you see our guests out in the playground remember to say hello and be polite and kind, they are a very long way from home.

Homework this week...

We are off to the Olympics!! Our first task is to plan our trip....

List all of the different forms of transport that we could use to get us to the airport, then London, then the actual games venue.

Compare getting to London from NZ by plane or by boat... list all of the advantages and disadvantages of both.

A very cool present

N.B was lucky enough to get this plasma ball from her sister for her birthday. She brought it in to school today to show us.  

Our Awards this week go to...

Our value this term is Consideration but the person chosen for the value this week displayed this but more importantly, Honesty. P.J-T found a lollipop in the cloakbay last week and instead of taking it home to have two she brought it into the class and told me that someone had dropped theirs. This showed me what a wonderful attitude she has and I am very proud of her.

J.Q is recieving our Special Terrific Award this week as I caught her looking after her friends and new members to our maths group. She encouraged another member of the class and looked after some who were feeling sad and this deserves to be rewarded. Well done J!!

Our class is proud of you both.

Our Holiday Acrostic Poems...

                                  

Well done Room 17...

Is it an animal?

An animal lives on the land or in the sea. An animal can be a herbivore, carnivore or an omnivore because some eat meat, some plants and some (like us) eat both. Animals live all over our planet. Some animals are reptiles and some are mammals. Some animals are becoming endangered. An animal is any living creature.

This is an example of Relational Thinking.

If we want to become Extended Abstract thinkers we need to be able to explain ourselves so we need to start with 'I think' and then form an opinion.

We think it is unfair that animals are becoming endangered because we want our children to be able to see all of the wonderful animals we see now still alive and out in the wild where they belong. We think that killing animals for trophies is very wrong and it is not fair that animals are being hurt so a hunter can put its head on a wall. We never got to see some animals that are already extinct and we don’t want that to happen to any more beautiful animals.

What do you think?

Homework this week...

Welcome back to school for an exciting term!! We will be doing lots of very cool things and learning about our new topic on Transport so keep a look out on our blog for what we get up to.
