A long awaited update...


Dr Seuss PowerPoint’s
By Ocean and Angala

At the end of the Availll reading program we did an activity based on the 48 hours movie challenge. We picked a partner and then choose a favourite Dr Seuss book. To get started we read the book, secondly we had to pick a page and then draw it on an A3 piece of paper. Then we coloured it in. We made a PowerPoint, recorded our voices, so it was like a mini movie. When we watched the end product some of us knew we had to make some changes if we did it again. Now the pictures are displayed on the wall looking stunning!
 
Update of learning letters
By Caitlyn

On the 10th of September 2012 we started writing letters to our parents about our learning since we had our interviews. We get to tell our mum and dad how much we have improved since our interview and tell them 2 of the things we have done that we are really proud of.

Magazine
By Shakira and Troy

We are coming to the end of writing our magazines. There is a big difference between the amounts that has been done. We have a big list of things it must include and a deadline of the end of term. When we are finished they will be presented in the school library and hopefully on our blog.

Afterschool Soccer

On Thursday’s after school the boys and girls soccer teams play at Park Island. On Thursday the 13th September we played our last games. The girls played against Westshore Beach Girls and the boys played against Onekawa. Both teams won their games because of their awesome skills.

 ‘Olympic Foldie Things’
By Kathryn

The Olympic Foldie things are all about the Olympics, of course! You had to write about 2 athletes in the two larger segments. In the medium segments, you wrote about the ancient Olympics, London 2012, a country and a sport or event. In the eight little segments you wrote interesting Olympic facts. They were fun and look really cool!

 



Life Education
By Tyler and Humo

Are you man enough for the quest? On Friday the 14th room 13 went to see Harold the Giraffe. We had a quest to save one of our dearest knights, Sir Possumalot, our imaginary friend from the ruler of Nearby (Mrs Colliss). We needed to find three gems, in order to find them we had to answer riddles and learn facts. The gems were hidden in three towers but guarding the towers were a wizard, a dragon and a skeleton. We used our knowledge to defeat them. We were all lords and ladies but Ben was our prince and Maxine was our Princess, you think it was imaginary but was it. We finish our quest next time we visit the Life Education Van.


Keeping Ourselves Safe.

By Ben and Ian
Throughout this week this week we have been learning about Keeping Ourselves Safe. It teaches us what abuse it and how we can be protected. Abuse can be Physical, Emotional, Cyber, Neglect, Sexual and Family Violence. It is an interesting topic to learn about but we hope these situations don’t happen to us!

Geometry Maths
By Shirley and Samantha

On Friday, we did something in maths that is similar to art. This work includes interesting lines, one set of parallel lines and shading in alternate regions. It was “Fun Friday” and we decided to do something with an arty twist to our regular maths. Our geometry arts are going on display and they are going to look awesome!

 

Afterschool Rugby
By Felix

Every Wednesday the rugby boys have been facing other school from around Napier. So far we’ve only lost one game, and won all the others. Our first game was very muddy and so slippery that most of the players fell over onto their backs. Lucky the weather has cleared up and we have enjoyed playing on nice, dry fields. Next week is our last game of the season.
