Super 15 Trophy

We were very lucky today because Mrs Baguley brought the Super 15 Rugby trophy to school and we all got a chance to touch it.  It has three colours on it - black for New Zealand, green for South Africa and yellow for Australia.  The boys certainly look like they know how to pose for a rugby photo!

Home Learning

Sarah has created a menu for her Home Learning this week which sounds rather delicious -

'A tall stack of chocolate chip pancakes with chocolate syrup and biscuits and berries decorated with jellybeans and strawberry ice cream with a lemonade drink.'

 Emma has also created a yummy breakfast, with lots of choices!

Fantastic Mr Fox Art

We read the story 'Fantastic Mr Fox' by Roald Dahl and we did some fantastic paintings of Mr Fox.  Brooklyn and Lauren used Pic Collage to share some of our paintings.  You can see all our paintings in our individual learning blogs.

New Classroom Blessing

This morning we had the blessing for our new and refurbished classrooms.  Hone, our Kaumatua came and did the blessing and the Kapahaka group sang a song.  We were lucky because we got to walk through the new rooms as we are moving into the new classroom.  This is us in our new room.

Hairy Maclary Story

Hairy Maclary Joshua from Room Sixteen on Vimeo.

We read lots of stories about Hairy Maclary and then used Puppet Pals and Lynley Dodd's artwork to share our stories.

Chameleon Art

Javae and Shabrin  and Daniel and Nidhi used Pic Collage to share some of our chameleon pictures.

Pigeon Impossible

We watched the short movie clip from 'The Literacy Shed' website, 'Pigeon Impossible'.  After lots of talking about what had happened and watching a clip from the news we wrote news reports.  We are recording these using the Educreations app on the ipad.  If you look in Our Blogs on the right hand side you can hear our reports.  Javae, Breanna, Shabrin, JP, Bella-Rose, Jared and Sarah's are published and the rest will be done next week.

7 Year Olds Fun Run

We had a lovely sunny afternoon for the Junior School Fun Run/Cross County.  The children all ran really hard.  Well done Javae for getting second place and Lauren for getting 4th.  The children all enjoyed their juicies afterwards.

8 Year Olds Fun Run

In between the rain we managed to hold some of the races for our Fun Run/Cross country.  Our 8 year olds (pictured above) managed to compete in their races.  Brooklyn did really well coming first!  A great effort by all of them running around the block.
