What's this

Last one for the year munchkins.  What do you think this is?

Christmas Holidays

What are you doing this holidays?

I wish I had duck feet

Today we retold I wish I had duck feet by Dr Seuss.  We looked at the structure of the story and how we could get one idea to flow in to the next.  We looked closely at the language features that he uses such as listing sentences, rhyming words and paragraphing.  We tried out very best to follow this structure.  Below are some of our versions.  We hope you like them!

The Senior Disco

On the 6th of December it was our School Disco. people had Santa costumes
and elf costumes on. There was the limbo and we were doing dance competitions
 Boys vs Girls! There was also food like fizzy, lollies and chps it was really fun!!!

Student Led Conferences

Last night the students of Room 9 talked to their parents about their learning this year.  They told them all about where they were at the start of the year and where they are now.  They told them what goals they are working on to get to the next level in reading, writing and maths.  There were heaps of very in depth conversations and lots of very proud mums and dads!

A huge congratulations guys and girls.  You definitely did your teacher and most of all yourselves proud!

What is it?

You know how this works now, what do you think it is?

Remember to put your name at the end of your guess.

Spring Festival

WOW!  What a wicked night everyone!  There were heaps of community support for our Gala after school yesterday.  We are hoping we have raised enough money to pay off the rest of the Senior Playground and more!

For our class stall Miss Hammond organised for a TQ racing car, owned by Daryl Webster, to come down from Auckland but unfortunately it was too damaged at the weekend to even make it onto the trailer.  So plan B was put into action. Very kindly her brother lent us his Production Saloon instead!  We filled it up with Balloons and people had to guess how many we had crammed into it.  The person with the closest guess has won a family pass to Huntly Speedway on a weekend of their choice over the summer.  Miss Hammond is even going to personally meet them at the gate to let them in.  Her dad is the referee at the track so maybe they will get to meet him and some of the drivers too.

Our stall raised about 40 after costs.  So all up a pretty wicked effort.

The winner will be announced in the Newsletter next week.

A huge thank you to everyone who had a guess at our stall but also everyone who showed up.  We appreciate your amazing support of our school.
