Last week of school!

We were all warned to bring a change of clothes for lemon bobbing! It was hilarious when you realised the winning team would end up with all four buckets of water over them! Mr Payne could not cope being around you with the parachute game ... I guess you never got tired playing it!

We had a blast on the last day and we also stuffed our puku's with the shared kai!  The year 6's helped us polish off the food.

Well done to a brilliant year of learning! You move into year 5 being well prepared! Remember to set your reading, writing and math goals and ask questions if you are unsure how to meet those goals!

Have another wonderful year next year, and remember, continue to dream big!  

Ka kite ano.

Our Inquiry/Theme topic this term "Dream BIG Futures"

Earlier in Term 4, we had two visitors visit our class to share with us about their career.
Our first guest was Mr Subritzky (Holly and Ruby's dad) and he told us all about 'life as a grip' and the world of setting up and making movies.  We were all in awe for the 1.5 hours listening and viewing the presentation. Thank you for visiting our classroom and maybe, you will have created some future 'Peter Jackson's' among us!  A shortened video of the talk will be added here soon.

 

Last week, we had Constable McMellon visit our classroom and we learnt how there are different jobs to do in the police force.  On Friday we had an Army ambulance arrive at our school and it was very exciting.

 

Sorry, Mr Norris (our caretaker) for making you lie under the tent ...look at that grin!

 

 

Overall, we have had an interactive inquiry unit working with years 4, 5 and 6's.  We had a fantastic day out at the Linton Army Camp and now, we understand what we need to be better at to help us achieve our dreams  - whether that is joining the military, police or the film industry.  Anything is possible!

Week 8! Last week of school!

Can you believe it?  School is nearly OVER for another year!  I bet Room 2 are very excited about Christmas!  The weather has been very hot here so we can only imagine that we will be spending a lot of time in and around water!  The children will spend time this week learning about water safety.

This week will be another busy week but our reading, writing and numeracy (mathematics) will still be happening.  

We are helping our peers out in Room 1 by creating decorations for the Year 6 graduation on Wednesday night so we will be busy Monday afternoon.  On Wednesday we will be having a bake off!  Those who have completed their homework all year will be baking while the rest of us will be sitting back and hoping the food will be edible!  Thursday we move classrooms, Friday our artwork goes into our presentation books and then we hope to fly some kites.

On Friday morning we have our parent helpers morning tea (Stevie-Lee, please remind your mum).  Our school assembly will be this Friday afternoon where we will be presenting class awards.

On Monday, school is open only for a half day.  This will involve finishing packing and clearing out classrooms.  There will be activities planned for the middle block before going home at 12.40pm.  Please remind your parents you are finishing school at 12.40pm on Monday.  It is not compulsory to come to school on Monday.

Watch this space as I will continue to provide updates.

Have a lovely week.
