Fritha's Fun Activities

Last term Fritha bought a book to school full of fun science experiments.  We had a lot of fun doing some of these activities at school.  Thank you Fritha for helping us start the term of with lots of fun learning.

We mixed syrup, dyed water and oil in a glass.  We watched the oil float to the top and the syrup sink to the bottom.  Mrs Christiansen explained this is what is happening with the oil leaking from the Rena.

We made spinners from paper.  We learnt that the air catches under the propellers and it helps the paper to fly just like a helicopter.

We mixed baking soda, glitter, dye and vinegar.  It was a lot of fun watching it all mix together and explode out of the glasses.

Wahoo! Go Anna!

Anna is an amazing highland dancer.  She got a trophy because she got the most points for the 6 and under category in her show.  We are all so proud of you!

When I went up I thought something bad was going to happen.  Then they held out the trophy and I wondered if it was mine. Once I found out it was mine, I was super excited. 

The trophy is over 40 years old.

Class Photo

What a beautiful looking class we are. 

You all look amazing!

Go All Blacks!

WAHOO!  The All Blacks won the Rugby World Cup!

Where the Wild Things Are

Room 2 read the story, 'Where the Wild Things Are.'  Mrs Christiansen was surprised not many of us had heard the story.  We created our own 3D Wild Things.  Thank you buddy class for helping us get started.

Cross Country and Athletics

On the first day back at school, we will be doing cross country training AND you will be doing some athletic activities.  So do not forget to bring your sports clothes and shoes.  I cannot wait!

Create Your Own Dance

It is important to keep your fitness up during the holidays, especially because we are doing our cross country very soon.  Create your own actions to this song and share it with the class on Tuesday.

Rugby World Cup Sports Day

We had lots of fun learning different sport activities.  Thank you to all the parents who provided transport and helped us on the day.  You are all amazing!

Toilet Paper Clothes

Room 2 were given a challenge to make clothes from toilet paper.  It was a chance for the children to work together as a team and to be creative.  At first it was a bit tricky.  Everyone wanted to make mummies.  In the end, we had some amazing designs.  Well done to Will's team who made clothes that lasted on our runway.  

Newspaper Clothes

We had a lot of fun making clothes from newspaper.  It was much easier than toilet paper and we had a few more ideas about how to make clothes.  Georgia, our winning model, looked amazing with her cape flying out behind her.

School Holidays

I cannot believe it is time for the school holidays already.  Have a wonderful holiday and get lots of rest.  I am planning lots of fun things for us to do next term. 

Celebration of The Arts

Wow!  You all looked amazing.  I am sure when you grow up you will be famous musicians or actors.  Here are some photo's of you doing, 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt.'

     

Sunflowers

We have been learning about Vincent Van Gogh's Sunflowers.  We carefully copied his painting.  We noticed he used a lot of paint to create texture. Here is our sunflower art.

Starry Night

We used pastels to draw Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night. 
It was very tricky to colour the whole page in.
