Week 3

Kia ora, Whanau days are coming up next week, for those people that don’t know, the whole school swaps around classes, so there are year 1 – 6’s in every room. When we are in those rooms we do heaps of activities, this time they are based around the Olympics. Last year every class looked at a different country. In the past Kimberley and Caleb have both really enjoyed having a variety of people to interact with, found it interesting to work with younger kids and the chance be a leader. On Friday we are finishing up with an Olympic themed day and a sausage sizzle, we just have to remember to bring our money.

In class we have been busy learning about the Olympics, from the mascots, to the history, to the current events, we have done it all. Congratulations to our medal winners. Go New Zealand!!!

This week we watched our next movie for AVAILLL it was The Water Horse. The movie is about a little kid who finds an egg which hatches into a colossal water horse, it grows really fast. The movie is about the connection he has with his new friend. The activities we did were the same as Meet the Robinson’s which was great because we knew how to do them and people were more accurate than last time. Next up is another Earth documentary.

The rain has meant that we have been trapped inside; we are getting sick of it. It also has meant we haven’t had a practice in the last 2 weeks for Spooner. All after school sport has been cancelled, such as soccer, rugby and hockey, we haven’t even had one game yet!

The flu has hit Room 13; every day we have had a couple of people away fighting the sickness. We hope everyone gets better soon.
