Today for N homework Mason shared the successes of the All Whites. He played the vuvuzela to celebrate how well they had done!

Welcome to Ciara

Hi, my name is Ciara. I just moved to New Zealand on the 10th of June. I did live in Ireland but then I came here. I have lots of friends over in Ireland. But I'm sure I will make lots of different friends and on my first day I have already made lots of friends. I love my teacher. It is great that I have family that live around the corner. In my old school I did not have any boys, I just had girls. My old school was a lot harder. My cousin is in this school too. The class is very bright with all the colours in it.

Finishing off for Friday...

We finished off Friday with a visit to Room 1 to share our homework then we went out to spread out the huge leaf pile. It was a lot of fun.

Matariki mural...

Matariki

As part of our Funky Friday learning we read stories about Matariki. We decided to make a Matariki mural. It is huge!!!!! It is hanging up in the hallway and it might go in the foyer when it is finished. We had to draw around Ryan to get the shape of the chief for our mural. We have got a lot of work to do on it yet. We created some gorgeous Matariki scratchings! Check back soon to see some of them.

Marvellous, magical "M" day...

Today was "M" day for our alphabet homework presentation. We had two very special visitors. Jacob arranged for Molly to visit at 9 o'clock and Thomas had Maggie visit at 10 o'clock. I think it was a good thing they visited at seperate times - don't you?

Dinosaur funky Friday fun...

We had so much fun for Dinosaur Funky Friday. It was our first time ever having senior boys to Funky Friday. James and Josh were so helpful. We painted our movie backdrop, painted our plaster of paris models and made books to display our dinosaur facts on. Some of us got to work on our dinosaur posters.

Our journey...

I am so proud of everyone in my class who remembered to wear their pedometer and record their steps. We sure have travelled a long way! We are very close to making the full distance. Please remember to record your steps this weekend and on Monday I hope we will have made it!

Room 4 are very excited...

We are very excited because we have a new girl starting in Room 4 on Monday. Her name is Ciara. She is from Ireland. We are making her a book to help her feel welcome at our school.

Jack and Jacob show us how to add in parts
