Room 10's Fairy Tale Movie

A couple of weeks ago Room 10 helped Miss O'Neill write a fairy tale. Yesterday we made our fairy tale into a movie.

We hope you like it!

Earthquake!

To the students and families of Room 10, Wairakei School, I hope you and your families are safe. School is closed until next Monday 13th September.

Our school production has been postponed until mid-term 4.

I know some parents are concerned about leaving their child(ren) at school on Monday, and that some children may be frightened about being separated from their parents. We will be starting the day with some news telling (this will be a good time for chidlren to share their experiences of the earthquake with each other). Parents are welcome to stay until they feel comfortable about leaving their child at school. :)

Keep safe, and make sure you give each other lots of cuddles. See you on Monday.

A big hug from Miss O'Neill :)

Our opinions...

This morning on the way to work I was listening to the radio DJ's talk about whether they would live without coffee for 2 months or a hot shower for 2 months. I decided to put a similiar scenario to Room 10 for writing today.

We talked about decision making and giving ourselves a challenge. I asked them to choose between 2 months without pocket money, or 2 months without tv. There were some very interesting responses...and boy! they were very pleased when I told them it was JUST PRETEND!

Here are some of the responses:

Emily...

Trajan...

Madisyn...

Pheobe...

Rowan...
