Triathlon

On Friday we had our Koru syndicate triathlon.  We are proud of the persistence and resilience that our students showed.

The Tooth Fairy

In the weekend my tooth fell out and the tooth fairy came and took it.  I got a two dollar coin.  Some people don't believe in fairies but I do.  I want to see a fairy and I will help it and I will give it some food and water.  I love fairies.      - Teagen

Groups we belong to.

As part of our Topic of finding out about the groups we belong to, yesterday we started our interest clubs and in Room 21 we had cooking club.  We made our own pizza dough and then we put pizza sauce, ham, vegetables and cheese on top.  We took it home and cooked it for our afternoon tea.  The Year 1s and 2s in the cooking club did a great job and they were very positive after eating their pizza.  They are looking forward to the next 2 weeks of cooking.

Science Club

At science I learned about magnets.  I sat on the mat and Mrs McGimpsey taught me all about magnets.  First I chose the bottle.  It had iron sand in the bottle.  I got a magnet and the magnet dragged the sand up.  Next I made my own magnet.  I made a statue with pins.  I got a worksheet with sad and happy faces on it.  If we had a pin stuck on to the scissors then we coloured in the happy face.  - Amelia

My Friend Jarvis

In the weekend my friend Jarvis came to stay the night.  We rode our scooters.  Then we went inside and played Lego.  After that we went to bed.  We made up scary stories.

Compassion

This week we started to explore what compassion is, and how we can be compassionate at school.  We tried some role-playing with our Room 5 buddies, acting out how we could show compassion to a child at school who is new to the school, sad or alone.

Swimming

Room 21/16 are really enjoying their swimming lessons each morning.  It would be great to continue taking children to the local pool so they can continue practicing their skills and keeping up their confidence.
