Lots of things happened today...

We have finally finished our light bulb shakers. After a bit of practicing, we took them over to the music room so we could perform a song using the shakers to Mrs Emeleus (our music teacher). She loved it!

Room 2 (year 5/6) are doing their Inquiry on board games using electricity. They knew we have been looking at electricity too, so they came to interview us! We hope we gave them some good information.

We had a bit of time afterwards, so we dicided to show our absolutely brillinat reading skills toour Room 2 buddy.

Thanks Room 2...come again!

Very COOL visit!

Yesterday Wairakei School had some very cool visitors. Four skateboarders came to show us their tricks using ramps, boxes and bars. We saw them do 360's, ollies, kick flips and much more. We thought they were really clever.You can see them again on Sunday, at Jellie Skate Park (12 - 3pm)...there will be a sausage sizzle, competitions and prizes.

Oops! It has been awhile...

One of my students expressed her disappointment to me the other day, that I hadn't added a post recently. So here you go, Madisyn...

Over the term, Room 10 have been making musical instruments (shakers) out of light bulbs. We have paper-mached around it and given it a base coat. Earlier in the week we decorated our shakers. Here is Caitlin decorating hers.
Some of us have been focussing on editing our written work. Up until recently we have been using word charts to help with this...but now some of the children are now using dictionaries (Spell-Write)...aren't they clever? Here are Emily and Rowan using the dictionaries.A cold and flu bug has been making its way around the classroom...just a reminder to wash hands, get plenty of sleep, eat lots of fruit and vegetables, and keep warm.
