Room 9 have been learning about electricity. We had to design a box to have a light in it. We were learning about circuits and switches. We had to draw plans of our creations and simple circuits to make our lights work.
We think they are amazing.

A group of children who have been working with Miss O’Connor, our student teacher were lucky to have some fun bubble blowing today. They had read a story about blowing bubbles and decided to try bubble blowing for themselves. What huge bubbles they made!
We look forward to reading their book.

Steve from Educate Me came and spoke to us about rainforests. We learned a lot about the importance of rainforests, the animals that live there and the plants and layers of the rainforests.

What an eventful week we have had. The children can all be very proud of themselves this week. They were awesome on Thursday at the show.
Thanks you for all your help before the day with costume making, prop making and on the night with the make-up.
We do hope the children enjoyed the night. They looked like they had a wonderful time.

It has also been sad saying goodbye to Mrs Coombes. She is a wonderful teacher and will be missed by all.
We hope she has an exciting time in Queenstown and look forward to getting regular updates from her.

It was a bitterly cold afternoon for this event but what a wonderful way for the children to warm up.
The children all ran very well, with some very close battles at the finish line.
Great training everyone , you can all be proud of your efforts.
Thank you to all the teachers who helped run this wonderful event and to all the parents who turned
up to support their children.

In Room 9 we have been learning about geometry. We had fun making 3D shapes and more!

In Room 9 we have been reading lots of Maori legends.
One we really enjoyed was “The Fish Of Maui.” We retold the story and made some collage and dye pictures to go with them.
We hope you enjoy listening to the story.

School was a very freaky place to be today. We had pirates, robbers, dogs, witches, princesses and many other unusual creatures in our class.
Well done everyone, you looked awesome!
