Basic Facts Evening

Class Song for the Production

What Would You Wish

Aladdin

What would you wish if you

could choose?

If just one wish was all you

could use?

Chorus

I’d wish for sweets

Ten metres high!

Aladdin

You’d have bad teeth:

They’d make you cry!

All

Think again, think again,

Before you wish.

You must be so careful not to

Waste your precious wish!

Aladdin

What would you wish………

Chorus I’d wish to stay in bed all day

Aladdin You’d only sleep your life away.

All Think again, think again………,

Aladdin What would you wish………

Chorus I’d wish to be a movie star!

Aladdin Far better be just what you are.

All Think again, think again……..

Aladdin What would you wish……

Chorus I’d wish for peace

For me and you.

Aladdin You never know

It might come true!

All That’s the one, that’s the one

that you should choose.

With a wish like that you’d find

you simply couldn’t lose.

Child Led Conference

Today the children prepared to host their 'Learning Conference'. It has been inspiring to see the children really taking ownership of their learning and reflecting critically on it.

Some of Room two's students taking part in a role play.

The parents are welcomed into our class then the children talk about their successes and enjoyable learning experiences.




The children have given great thought on how they have progressed over the first half of the year and will also identify areas in their learning they need to work on.

Some great discussion happening here.

 Well done people.

Thank you to the great support the children have received by parents actively taking part in the 

'Child Led Conference'.

School Cross Country Team

Well done to all our Absolutely Brilliant runners. There are a number of children representing the school at the Christchurch Centrals Next Week. All the best .

At the zones it was nerve wracking, I came 33rd. Well done to the people who got into the centrals.

On Monday we went to the Zones at Jellie Park. It was really hard. I came 34th. I think I did well.
Noelle


On Monday at the Zones I was a bit nervous at the beginning but that didn't affect my  running skills.
I came 4th in my race, this means that I will be representing our North West Zone in the Central Cross Country Race.

At the zones I was nervous before the race I came 33rd in the year six race. The course was longer than school cross country.

Inquiry Learning

Room Two was given a challenge to create a lighthouse using cardboard, newspaper, tape, wire, light bulbs and batteries.

The lesson seemed a great success with children really using their problem solving and team work skills.We followed on from this lesson with the children writing instructions as to how to build a lighthouse. Our WALT for the lesson was  To use precise language and explicit vocabulary.

Josh was keen to share with the class the switch he made from paper clips.

Emerson and Shania appear very proud of their achievements!!!!!

Some of Room Two working on their lighthouse designs. 

Pizza Time

The class have been learning about writing instructions and what better way than learning through doing!!! I thought that making a pizza would be a good hands on experience. The children were focusing on using Verbs and Precise Vocabulary.

Got to get the topping right.

 Looks like the pizza was a hit.

Kiwi Sport

This morning we participated in Kiwi Sport. Kiwi Sport is an event where we do different sport. First up we had Indoor Bowls, Aussie Rules and lastly we learnt some Basket ball skills.


I enjoyed Aussie Rules because we got to learnt how to kick and punt (pass) the ball. - Luke

I enjoyed learning new sports, they were sports that not many people do. - Lisa

Indoor bowls was quite challenging but was fun to do. Libby

I liked Aussie Rules the best because we got to kick the balls at the teachers!!! - Josh  T


At indoor bowls we had some competitions to see who could roll the bowl closest to the white ball. - Lillie
