Sanitarium

Creating our names with fruits and veges

At Eat your Words workshop we had to create our own name with veges and fruit. The Sanitarium people gave us a chopping board and a knife. Jemma gave us instructions. Jemma said to us we had to create our name with fruits and veges. Then we started creating our names with the fruits and veges. I felt really excited when I first put my first letter down. I used celery, mandarin peel, kiwi, banana skin and a sliced carrot.  When we finished Jemma took pictures of our names. Jemma said we could take the veges and fruits from our names and cook it but none of us wanted so we ate them. At the end it was fantastic and I really enjoyed.

Welcome to Term 3, 2014

Dear Parents,

We are now situated in Room 24 (old Tupulaga block) for 1-2 terms as the Kotahitanga building is undergoing some repairs.

Please drop and pick up your child from Room 24 next to the field.

Our inquiry topic is “Adaptation”. Our students are aware of the inquiry process which includes: 1.Deciding 2. Finding 3.Using 4. Recording 5. Presenting 6. Evaluating

Your support for their research would be appreciated, visits to the library, internet browsing and so on.

We will be visiting Auckland as part of our topic studies. I need your support to come to the zoo to take care of the students. The ratio is 1:6 so I need 5 Parent helpers. I will let you know the date of our visit shortly. It will be first five parents who send their forms quickly.

Regards
Patricia Gattu

Human Chain

Today rooms 14,18,28 and 26 were making a line that was huge the reason all these  rooms made a huge line was because we were moving the resources to a temporary container. The teachers were helping as well. Teachers were helping because it was hard work. We all worked together as a team to finish the job. We passed the books and boxes to the person next to us. It was really tiring some people kept on dropping the boxes because they were too heavy it was really fun. It was really cold and freezing.

On Wednesday we learnt how to make a fish with strips of paper.

Here is Xanphyan's and Habon's fish.

Here is Jason's fish.

This is a tagexdo I made for the whole class.

This is the one Lynelle made.

On Tuesday we went to the hall to do some Matariki activities. We learnt some waiata and learnt some actions.
