Thursday 31 August

Room 11 is zooming along as we are feeling the end of the year coming steadily closer.
Tomorrow is the 1st of september and the start of spring. We all wonder where the year has gone.


Mrs Chixon went to spend the night with Mrs Williams as she has Brown Shavers and space for 6 chickens.No one has claimed her yet so if you know of anyone who is missing a chicken please the contact school office.


An very interesting recent article about exercise for children and adults .





Skimming and scanning, sorting and classifiying key words and ideas,using pictures and visual clues, summarising and infering. What alot of reading skills we are using to do our Info report.


Hard at work doing our google slide Information Report.



Orestes asked a great question. If something is not a Mammal what is it? What are the characteristics of each group.
Mammals have hair, warm blooded, feed their young milk, give birth to live young.

Reptiles cold blooded, give birth to live young or lay eggs, 

and so on.




Classification
Mammals, reptiles, fish, birds insects arachnids


Badminton is our P.E at the moment. Some of us find it easy and others find it an annoying game!


James's Uncle Michael Jones was knighted yesterday. How fantastic for the Samoan /Pacific community and the Jones extended family.

Ramere 15 Hakihea Friday 15 December What a last fun week we have had. No doubt you will have heard about pool parties, "Go home, Stay Home" , Hampsterball, dodgeball and games such as "Wink murder," "Beat master,""Honey, if you love me then give me a kiss", and 2 truths and a lie". It has been a lovely week to enjoy each others company and have that end of school "feel good" factor. I've loved seeing past pupils and sharing your lovely children.

You are our Athletic super star!

Raapa 2 Here-turi-koka Wednesday 2 August Today yoyos appeared at school. They are a great thing to teach the NED concept. Never give up, encourage others to stick at it and be determined to do your best. Spike bought in a different way to achieve these concepts. He is egg sitting "Jimmy". Emma read out her "Mysterious egg" story. Thanks Benji for holding it so she could use voices to explain who each character was. It was rated as a great narrative! Well done Emma! Reading today was "making connections" between two different texts. We had Mrs McKenzie come and watch us learn. We were stunning of course! We learnt that to make connections you had to link ideas together and to ask yourself , " I remember when.. My experience… It reminds me of something I heard or in a movie this happened...  I felt like the character when…. When I read about ….  A book I read was similar to this… I know that because of …&qu
