week 3, term 4

It's week 3 and our class has already had some great successes in the athletics.
In the 300 metres we had Tiare Manu 2nd and Jacinda Shaw 3rd in the junior girls and Daeshaun Anglem Reti 2nd in the junior boys.
In the 1500 metres (5 laps round the bottom field) We had Danielle Lamont 1st, Tiare Manu 2nd and Jacinda Shaw 3rd. We then sat and waited for 4th and 5th to arrive as they were a LONG way behind.

First in the junior boys 1500m race. Lloyd Clarke finally tasted victory as his failure in the 300m and 200m finally turned into luck in the 1500m race.


We have also been going to lessons in the Life Education Caravan with " HAROLD" the giraffe and Shelly (the teacher)We have been learning about making choices and which body parts smoking will damage the most. We are looking forward to our last sesson with Shelly and "Harold" next week.

On Friday 29th October we were lucky enough to hear from Maria Gill a New Zealand author of  children's non fiction texts and Vivienne Lingard a childrens book illustrator

Lloyd Clarke and Cole Bain went and worked with Vivienne Lingard in the School art room for a little art lesson with her. We learnt about Vanishing line, Perspective, Eye level line and Horizon line. All the people who were there drew a picture to do with saving the planet. Lloyd and Cole's pictures that they did with Vivienne are below.

Term 3

Term 3 was another busy one; we learnt about The Physical World in Science when we investigated Friction, to do this we carried out lots of practical activities.

Camryn and Katarina finding out how luricants affect grip!

We read and wrote Adventure narratives:

We summarised the main ideas in adventure narratives we read.

 
 

Early in the term the school Cross Country was held, Mrs Puke was very proud of all of the class for taking part, no-one made excuses not to run!

 We were thrilled to see Tiare Manu win the Junior Girls event and Danielle Lamont come second. Lloyd Clarke won the Junior Boys race and Boss Taramai came third.  

Term 3 saw Interclass netball begin, we beat Rooms 9 and 11 and then it was time to play our arch rivals Room 12. It was a fiercely contested game and the final score was 12-10 to Room 10. Boys were included in the teams and Amos showed he has real potential on the netball court!

Thanks to the Year 8's (Dionne, Holly and Renae)  for umpiring and scoring.

The School Production this year was called Shiek, Rattle 'n Roll, after months of rehearsal the show was performed in Week 10. 

Jacinda and Tiare were in the choir, Ashley and Ksharna were on stage as members of the crowd and Cameron, Maire, Rylie and Danielle were all dancers. It was a great show thoroughly enjoyed by all who saw it. We have lots of talent in our school!
