Live Dancing!

Koru Whanau rocked the Hall on Friday night

 

Swimming was fantastic - we all loved it!

Filled to the brim with excitement we boarded the bus to the swimming pool! The Field of Dreams programme is provided free to our students and we are so lucky to be part of it as it is very popular!

How long ago did the first man walk on the moon?

Mrs Cammell (who teaches us on Wednesday mornings) asked us this question this week! What do you know?

The above website is a great way to learn about current events! Please have a browse and see what you can find out about the world and what is happening in New Zealand! It is run by volunteer New Zealand teachers.

We then had a great STEM challenge to try! Making our own rockets and see how we trialled them... I'm not sure if we can make it to the moon but everyone has got to start somewhere!

Now you have seen our art we can share how we made it!

Choosing tiny beads to thread onto craft wire to make the central part of our hibiscus flowers - this required a lot of fine motor control and perseverance!

Twisting pipe cleaners and bending them through the clear plastic dragonfly wings took a bit of fiddling around and at times a buddy to hold the pieces still. 

After the dye was dry we had to lay out all the pieces and think about how to layer the composition together - no one art work was the same as anyone else's design. Split pins and glue guns held it all together.

Have a safe and cosy July Holiday Break everyone!

Have a well earned rest Room 14 - we have another fun filled term coming up with Cross Country, (keep running), Community Swimming programme, Maths Week, Disco, Poetry Festival and more! Eat lots of Vitamin C and sleep well.

I promised I would post a pic of Milo in front of the fire so here it is:

Less puddles more fun! Just in time for the Winter rain.

And just when you thought the puddles were getting too deep here came the trucks!! Thank you to Mr Lesley and Mr Smith who spent a long time spreading out the bark for us!
