Liua, Ukilifi, Aisling - Week 6

On Thursday the school council ran a mini Baking and Books Fair.  This was to raise money to paint a mural on the power box.  There was lots of yummy baking and books to chose from.  We raised around $750.00.  Great work by the school council.

All week the Special Character people have been selling Daffodils.  This to raise money for the Cancer research.  Some of Room 8 children have brought a Daffodil and are wearing them proudly on their uniform.

Week two - George

Baditude!

Yesterday we learnt about gratitude and baditude. Baditude is when you have a bad attitude towards everything. You may even have a unibrow because you are so angry and your frown makes you look like you have one eye brow. It can also be when you feel like your life stinks. You feel all alone and that everyone hates you. Gratitude is when you are helpful and positive to everyone, you smile at them and you have a positive body language. 

Today we wrote on the board what we were thankful for. George wrote "I am grateful for friends because they make people happy on a bad day". Miranda said "I am grateful for friends family toys and everything else".

Welcome back to term 3!

This week we received a very special letter, from the prime minister Jacinda Ardern. We were very lucky to receive this letter. In term two for R.E we were learning about the Messiah. We were also studying about all the different leaders in the world, and we thought Jacinda Ardern was one of them. We thought up of some questions that we wanted to ask her and  she replied back.

How many jobs do you mostly have to do in a day? What are they?

• Cicely

What is your middle name?

• Liam

Dear Jacinda Ardern,

Why don’t children have the right to vote because I think that we should

• Sebastian

Were you shocked when you got the job?

• Adam

Dear Jacinda,

Is it annoying having so many protectors and bodyguards?

• Miranda

Why did you choose the name ‘Labour’ and the colour red?

• Ruby

Why did you want to become Prime minister?

• Bianka

We are very grateful that she replied back to us. 

This term we are doing P.E . Every two weeks we swap to a different sport. The sports are netball, ripper rugby, soccer, hockey and softball. This week we did netball with Mrs Drummond. We practiced the three different types of passes you can do in netball they are lob, chest pass and the bounce pass we also practiced shooting it was so much fun.

This week we also started our Mandarin lessons. We learned where China was on the map and also learned how to say hello

Come and check out our fabulous Matariki art 

We also had an amazing healthy eating celebration shared lunch. Our tummies were full of delicious healthy snacks!

On the last day of Term we had Nick and Fergie come in to teach the year 3's about dog safety. We learned that we always had to ask the owner for permission before touching their dog and also to only touch the dogs back and sides, never the head. We all practiced this on Fergie 

Have a safe and happy holiday everyone!

Scooter course + Drama

Scooter course

On Tuesday we were lucky enough to attend a scooter course at school. We were taught how to properly fit our helmets, how to use our breaks properly, how to give way at a pedestrian crossing or give way sign and also how to check for sneaky driveways 

Drama 

We have been looking at different drama techniques. We have based our work off the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel. We have explored expression, body language, soundscapes and other drama techniques. In this picture, we are using our bodies and facial expressions to become the creepy forest that Hansel and Gretel walk through when they are lost. We also made noises doing a haunted house a beach and a rainstorm
