Overnight Stay

We had an awesome overnight stay on Thursday night to say good-bye to our nine Yr 6's who are moving on to High School. We had a water slide and just spent time together. It was great fun.

Gibbs Farm

ON Thursday Room 5 visited Gibbs Farm. We had an amazing day walking around looking at the sculptures and feeding the giraffes. We even got to met Rachel Hunter.

Creative Craft Day

What a creative day was had by all. Lots of enteries and flowers everywhere.

Speeches

Well done Blossom for winning the Year 6 speeches this year and Jade and Mason for making it into the finials.

Well done Paige for winning the Year 5 speeches this year and Toni and Neitana for making it into the finials.

Team Work

We have been working together in teams. Today we had to brainstorm what we would do if we won one million dollars.

Eggcellent

This week Room 5 and 4 are looking after eggs. This is part ofthe 'Keeping Ourselves Safe' program.

Our Team Mascots

We now have team mascots that each team invented. They have the most unusual names: the Odd Blob, the Belly Elly Bird, the Camiphant Bird, and the Massinator 3000.

Keeping Ourselves Safe

Today we started our Keeping Ourselves Safe program. Constable Marnie came in to work with the class. We shared what we are good at with her and filled out a quiz.

Oral Language

Our goal during Oral Language Time at the moment is to work as a team to solve problems or discuss 'big' ideas.

Whaea Mina Time

We always enjoy Whaea Mina Time and using the raku is lots of fun.

Soccer

Today we took part in a soccer competition against local schools. It was lots of fun but we were tired afterwards. Kaiwaka 2 won the competition which was good because we have had Owen coming and teaching us the skills. As an adult I was really pleased with the Fair Play I saw: everyone was a good sport and we can be proud of the students.

Drop, Cover, Hold

Today we practiced what we would do if there was a earthquake. It was dificult finding the best place to hid under or next to. Lucky we had time to think about it and made sure we were away from windows and lights. We went on the website and found it very helpful.

The Room 4/5/6 Opening

Wow! What a busy week we have had for the last week of the term. On Tuesday we had our opening for the vamped up classrooms. We were really proud of our room and looking forward to members of the public coming through to have a look. We listened quietly while speeches were made and then gave a demonstration of one of the ways we use the ceiling mounted projector. It was neat seeing three or four genertations at our school.

Loud Shirt Day

We had a fantastic day in our loud shirts and random shoes, raising money for the deaf institue. Here are some photos:

The Production - Te Mea Nui

Last week was very busy for the whole of the school. We presented Te Mea Nui three times, twice at night to the Kaiwaka Community. Room 5 were amazing! They wrote and acted out their Scooby-doo play.
