E Rere Taku Poi!

We are learning location words in Te Reo:

ki runga - up

ki raro - down

ki roto - in

ki waho out

The boys and girls assessed each other's performance and gave feedback on how it could be improved. How do you think we did?

PSG Notice

Miss Kay Started Today & Spring Fair

Miss Kay is our new student teacher from Auckland University and she is with us for 5 weeks. This has come at the right time for us as we are preparing our stall for the School Fair. If you check the tabs on the blog, you will see there is a new one called 'Spring Fair.' It will update you on what's happening. The PSG will also be putting messages on our blog.

Performance on Friday and Premiere of our Video

On Friday at 9am in the hall we are presenting our Road Safety Jingle 'Give it a go' in our t-shirts with the road safety logo we designed: 'Bike, scoot, skate or walk'. All the junior classes will be showing their videos or performing their jingles. As you know the children put a lot of effort into designing their logo, deciding on music and thinking up lyrics. They decided on actions to the jingle and also the locations we shot our video. Shooting a video turned out to be a bit boring and repetitive and not as exciting as some thought. All going according to plan, it will be ready by Friday. The purpose of our safety message is to lessen congestion at the front gate. Maybe there will be an appearance by a Safety Super Hero? Who knows?

Bring Your Wheels On Wednesday Room 12

If you would like to bike, scoot or skate in the video, don't forget to bring your wheels on Wednesday and we will try and shoot the wheels part of the video then. Don't forget your helmet!

 

Google Earth

Have you heard of google earth? We used it in class and it was fun! If you download it, it allows you to zoom down from outerspace to streetview. Handy if you're a superhero and you need to fly down to earth to save someone. We had fun going past each others houses and having a look.

Maths Slide

We learned a new game for Maths. It's called Maths Slide and four children can be on an IPad at the same time playing against each other. We really enjoyed it!
