Random acts of kindness...

We are trying to focus on random acts of kindness this term. By just doing something to make someone's day you can actually make yourself feel really good. Today when we were at the school library I got a little treat delivered from my very special Room 1 friends. Thanks so much for the kindness Mrs Baines.

Taieri 150th Ploughing competition...

Coin trail for shelter box!

Last term Room 6 learnt about Shelter boxes and they wrote stories and entered a competition. They decided we could fundraise and today we had a coin trail. On a glorious sunny winter morning we went outside and laid our coins out. We were so excited to see how many coins we had and we raised $270.00. We are going to have a lot more fundraisers. We love the feeling of giving!

Another walk in the sun...

Can you guess where we went today...





Callum's lesson for us all today....

Why I empty my pockets before my pants go though the washing machine.
• my ipod might be in them.
• tissues can be in them.
• rubbish from my lunch box.
• I might have things that rip up and make a mess.

On Sunday my ipod shuffle went though the washing machine and it died.

Taieri ICT day

Today I taught in the foyer at our school for the first ever Taieri ICT day. It was amazing. Thirteen year 5 and 6 students from our school went out to workshops at Outram, East Taieri, Elmgrove and Taieri college and I had 7 students from East Taieri and Elmgrove. We working on a programme called bighugelabs.com to create some amazing photo effects and posters and more. You can see them all at http://taieri-ict-day-2010.wikispaces.com/Workshop+12 Next Tuesday I will teach you all how to use this site. Have a good look around the 15 workshops in the wiki and you might find some new ideas to try!!!!

Maths IS FUN!!!!!

For maths today we did a figure it out, involving money. It was about how much pets would cost. We did a worksheet, it was very fun. Zara thought that maths couldn't be fun. But this worksheet was fun. We were in groups of three and we had a awesome worksheet. Now we know that maths is fun.
WE WILL DO A LOT MORE MATHS NOW!
