    P1000932Congratulations to Gemma who took out the Year 5/6 School Speech Finals, along with Isaac and Eden.

    Speeches

    August 27th, 2010 by room5

    Over the last few weeks of this term, Room 5 has been writing and presenting a range of speeches, from All Blacks and Art, to Postage stamps and Icebergs.  They were amazing speeches and the children all had great presence in front of an audience!

    Well done to Anna, Katie and Gemma who made it through the tough semi-finals to present their speeches at the finals on Tuesday 31st! Good luck girls!!  Watch this space…

    Pyjama Day!!

    August 25th, 2010 by room5

    P8060151P8060154P8060153On August 24th, the school had a pyjama day. We were allowed to stay in our PJ’s all day!! Even Mrs Thompson wore her robe and funky pink slippers!  Most of the class had on their PJ’s, with robes and slippers – Anna even put her hair in a towel and held a Milo cup for the parade (winning a prize too!).

    We found being in our PJ’s all day was cool, but we started getting sleepy because of them and wanted to crawl into bed in our cosy PJ’s!

    It was such an awesome day! Thanks School Councillors!!

    On the 27th July, SkoolStars Productions came to school to film our music videos. All the classes had been learning a song and dance to do in front of a huge green screen.

    We performed ‘Grease Lightning’, having loads of fun and lots of laughs along the way.

    The premiere for the videos will be on August 10th at Bethlehem Primary School at 7pm.

    Young Einsteins

    June 16th, 2010 by room5

    IMG_0771editedWell done to Jack and Stella who competed in Team B for the Young Einstein Challenge at Te Puna on Wednesday 16th June.

    They were quizzed on many topics and their hard work and training (Thanks Mr B!) helped them, along with Ryan and Grace to come 3rd equal.

    Good luck at the North Cluster event!!

    If…

    June 15th, 2010 by room5

    We have been learning about Kiwiana and we read the book ‘If’ by  Sarah Perry – a very talented author and illustrator with amazing pictures. It had phrases in it like ‘If cats could fly’, ‘If dogs were mountains’, ‘If music could be held’.

    They were so inspiring that we decided to mix the two – Kiwiana Icons and an ‘If’ modification! We put the new ‘icon’ on a polystyrene block so it stands out from the picture.

    We think they look AWESOME!!!!

    Small Schools Cross Country

    June 9th, 2010 by room5

    P1000360On Wednesday 9th, the Year 4-8’s went to Whakamarama School to participate in the Cross Country.
    The Year 5’s have been training hard for the 2.5km run and they all did an awesome job! It was freezing cold, but we went hard and all finished with big smiles on our faces!!
    Congratulations to Liam H from our class, who made it through to the North Cluster Round! Good luck Liam H!

    Kiwiana Trip to Otorohanga!

    May 22nd, 2010 by room5

    We had such an awesome time in Otorohanga with Room 3 and 4, exploring the Kiwi House park and the cool facts around the ‘Kiwiana Capital of NZ’. We have been learning about Kiwiana and all things NZ! We all learnt so much more and loved every minute of it – especially the hokey pokey icecream and giant jaffa we got at the end!! Thanks to the parents and Mr Broadhurst for driving the bus!

    Time to be Firewise!

    May 19th, 2010 by room5

    Poor Stella came to school today with the remains of a burnt towel and melted candles!P5120180
    P5120177Candles on top of her fireplace melted and caused the fire to expand and jump up the wall! But luckily, Stella and her family were quick to use a fire extinguisher and wet towels to put out the fire and stopped it quickly. They did all the right things, called 111 and got out safely. We are all so glad that Stella and her family are alright!

    Now it is getting colder, we all need to be aware of fires and their dangers! Thanks Stella for sharing your remains and thoughts.
