Mufti Day

We had a mufti day today. The school council will use the money to run the disco later this term.

Mrs Willox is teaching us all about water. Today we did an experiment that showed us how water turns from a gas to a liquid. First we also made some puddles to see what happened to that water. This was following on from yesterday when we looked at changing liquid water into a gas state

.

We are becoming experts - just ask us.

QUESTION TIME

Where have all our comments gone???

MONDAY

Today we went to Kiwi Can. Vaughan is a new Kiwi Can teacher. Today we played skittles. Vaughan and Sally had to catch us with a BIG ball. McCabe was the last one standing - well done McCabe. We are learning about intergrity. This means being honest and reliable.

This afternoon we went to the ICT room and learnt how to make powerpoints. We worked in groups and it was important to co-operate with each other.

On Friday we are having a visit from the Kahurangi Dance Group. It will be good as they have visited us before and been very impressive.

Windy Wednesday

Today we went to the hall and did JUMP JAM. It was fun. Rooms 8 and 11 came along too.

This afternoon we use charcoal to draw trees out in the playground. Before we got to use the charcoal we drew pictures of a bike using special drawing pencils. This is called sketching and we had to use yo yo eyes.

For Maths we are looking at weight and today we estimated how heavy some grocery items were. We used sand to try and make the same weight again. Another activity was working out how heavy some parcels were.

Term 3 - we are back AGAIN

We had fun at Kiwi Can today. We had to work out a code to find out what the topic is for the term We worked in groups to solve it. It was Shaynes last day at Kiwi Can. Next week we get to meet Vaughn who is the new Kiwi Can teacher. We also played a game called rob the tube. It was fun. Bailey L and Jessie got to have the class tiki's for super work.
Today Mrs Willox came. She is in Room 6 for the next 5 weeks. It will be GREAT FANTASTIC and AWESOME!
We made a graph to show things we did in the holidays. Come and have a look. Mrs Cooper thinks people did some fun things in the holidays. Tomorrow we will take our sample folders home. We hope that Mum and Dad will love looking at them.
Bailey L turned 8 today...happy birthday Bailey!

Friday - End of another term

Busy Busy Morning!!!
John Key came and opened our new hall. He was very nice and told us a funny story. We have to be nice to everybody at school...we might met up with them later in life or even marry one of them. Bailey G got his autograph on the cast on his broken arm. Lots of parents came and watched too.
Many of us went home after getting an ice block at lunchtime.

HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY......Be back in 2 weeks!

Thursday

Bailey G wasn't at school today. He was at home as yesterday he broke his arm. We hope it doesn't hurt too much Bailey.

This afternoon we got to have our Paper Plane contest. Macy from Room 11 won it. Her plane went a huge 8m 32cm. Bailey L's got close - it went just over 7m. Maddy threw her's 7m too.

Wednesday

Today we had another practice for the powhiri. We are going to have it in the hall because the weather forecast is for RAIN and we don't want to get wet. It is important that we all look nice and tidy on Friday....we need to be in our best school uniform.
In maths we have been learning about the metric system and weighing things. Today we made art folders for our art, so we can take it home on Friday. Today our shared reading book was called Perfect Paper Planes. We made our own planes and tomorrow we get to fly them. Lets hope our planes go further than Room 8 and Room 11's.
Our art is all up in the hall. You are welcome to come and see it tomorrow or Friday.
Mrs Willox came to visit us again today. She will be spending 5 weeks with us next term. It will be lots of fun. We hope we were not too naughty today and scared her off.
