Last week we were reading the big book 'Pirate Polly' by Jill Eggleton. We loved it so much we wrote our own version. Take a look at some of our stories and listen to us read them. More to be published soon... :)
World War 1
Today Daniel shared his research on world war 1 with the class. He talked about what the trenches were like and told us about the Christmas Truce.
We wanted to know more about the Christmas Truce so we watched the video below.

School Camp!!
We had such a fantastic week at Camp Iona. The weather was great and we got to see some amazing places. Take a look at what we got up to!
I wonder what fossil Sam found.
We had lots of fun at Elephant rocks. We found the creatures hidden within the rocks and climbed all over them.
Looking good Max and Jack.
Keep digging Brooklyn
Go Sam!
We went to the art gallery and learnt about an artist who creates her work by knitting. This piece took over 5 years to create!
Our solider Sams!
How many kids you fit into a phone box?..... 10!
At steampunk we found some amazing creations.
Sam and Mykaelah, our train drivers.
Romi School :)
At Totara Estate we learnt about how the farm ran in the olden days. Totara Estate was the first farm in New Zealand to export its frozen meat.
We had a go at being 'swaggers' and sleeping under the stars.
On Thursday it was a lovely afternoon for a dip in the creek beside camp.
