Great All Blacks win World Cup!       

We supported the All Blacks on Friday by all wearing black.  We made head bands, painted our faces and made flags.  We think that by having so many positive thoughts, we helped the All Blacks win.

Some of our thoughts:

"They deserved to win because they worked together."  Indiana

"They played hard out." Tia

"We won 34 to 17.  That means we got twice as many points as the Australians." Vinnie

"They tried and tried and they got there." Isabella

"If you work together you will succeed."  Lilli-Rose

Calendar Art

We finally finished our art work for our calendars.  Please come into class and have a look!

Maths

We took a piece of A4 paper and tore it into strips.  We had to see who could make the longest line!

The longest strip was over 13 metres!

Beach clean up!

We all did a great job cleaning up the beach.  And we looked great in our new T-shirts.

Cross Country
By Isabella A

On Extreme Friday we did cross country.  First four year old kids,
then five ran a lap across the field.  They did really well.  Then the five year old girls went, because the boys don't go with the girls at cross country.  

When it was nearly my turn I had a rest.  My tummy was filled with butterflies.  I saw my group line up so I rushed up.  I was excited and really nervous. The blocks went, "Bang!",  and we started jogging.  Then we went really fast over the tall gate and over the steep hill, then back over the gate and down to the finish line.  I was puffed. I came fourth and Nevaeh came third, Stormy-Lee came second and Lilli-Rose came first. After my race we left to have a pizza.

Liam and Lucas showing great determination!

                                    Dress up Day 2015

W e had great fun on dress up day.   We had made some fantastic costumes and we had to tell Shirley about our book character and why we picked it.

We have been learning how to use Explain Everything on the ipads.

We made some funny photos and told the story.

Kei hea te taniwha

We have been having fun learning about positions in Te Reo Maori.  We read the story
of Kei hea te Taniwha and made our own movie about it.

Once upon a time there was a boy.  A genie turned him into a rat. The genie went over the rainbow.  And the genie found the gold.  The genie got the gold into a sack.  The boy said to the genie, "Turn me back into a boy."  But the boy did not say please.  So the genie turned him in to a DRAGON!   And then the boy said to the genie, turn me back into a boy please.  And so the genie turned him into a boy.  And the genie went back into a magic cup.

THE END

By Dayton

At the end of Term 2, Room 3 learned about Geometry.  We learned lots of new word, like vertices, angle and edge.

We made shapes with paper and talked about the sides, vertices and angles.

We also learned another word - tessellation!  This means shapes that fit together like tiles.  

In the dark, dark scary castle was a ghost, a dragon and a wolf.  The wolf wanted to get out and hunt.  The ghost wanted to scare people. But the dragon didn’t want to do any of their things.  He wanted to explore the world.

Story teller visit

On Friday, storyteller Tanya Batt came to school.  She was fantastic!  Kyro wrote a great description of her show.


Today the storyteller came to school.  She is interesting.  The first story she told us was about a boy who didn not like the wind.  The second story was about a boy who told his friends that his dad was a dragon catcher.  The last story was scary.  It was about a toy doll that was gross.  Kyro
