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!

 

 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.

 

 

I wonder what fossil Sam found.

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.

  

 

Firewise!

Yesterday Amy the fire-fighter came to school and taught us how to be firewise. We learnt what fire-fighter do and what we need to do in a fire.

It was Brooklyn's first day at school and she got to dress up as our class fire-fighter! I think you might need to grow into that uniform though! :)

Our adventures!

Today we watched a short film called "Adventures are the pits". We then got to write our own adventure story, where we went to a new land through a magical slide. Please watch the movie and listen to our stories we would love to hear what you think!

Maths work

Mr Preddy got us an early Christmas present... a mini iPad! Today we used it to help us with our maths. The super fraction group are learning to add using place value.

Cricket skills

Today we had cricket coaching from Tama and Tim. It was raining so we had to take a little trip to the hall!

We were even lucky enough to get a goody bag each. Thanks a lot Tama and Tim!

Balloon writing

Today we wrote poems about some of our favourite colours. We then published them on a balloon :)

 

Have a super holiday everyone, I can't wait to see you all again next term! :)

Greedy Cat

We LOVE the greedy cat stories so much that we decided to write our own.

 

Please come in and read them, we would love to hear what your think! 

 

Treasure maps

This week in maths we are learning about positions and directions.

Today we drew a map of our playground and wrote instructions for a buddy to find a treasure we had hidden.

Fabulous Fractions

This week we are learning about fractions in maths. We loved using play dough to create and understand fractions.
