Autumn

We are well and truly in the midst of Autumn. Here at school we have been making the most of the abundance of leaves outside our classroom. We have been creating leaf piles and crunching through the leaves with our friends during breaks. We have also been using the leaves in class for our art. We created portraits of ourselves using leaves for our hair! To go along with our portraits we created diamante poems about Autumn.
Check out our finished work!

Our Digital Footprint

As part of our Cyber Smart lessons we have been learning about the trail that we leave behind online. We have been talking about making Cyber Smart decisions so that we keep ourselves safe. As a class we looked at what steps to undertake before we post anything online.
Have a look at some of our blog checklists:

Hiwi the Kiwi

On Monday May 6th we were lucky enough to have the Minstrel and his wife visit our school. They came to teach us about the importance of fishing for the future and looking after ourselves on the water.
The Minstrel sang songs about these messages and lots of  people won prizes for answering questions correctly.
Have a look at some of the photos from the show. If you want to know more or want to have a listen to the songs from the show you can access these on the following link.

Welcome back to Term Two

Hello everyone,

I hope that you all had a good and relaxing holiday break. We are all back at school now and right back into our learning routines.
Please remember to bring to school your charged Chromebook each day so that you can use this for your learning.
We have got Youthtown sports running this term on Thursdays in the even weeks. This program continues despite the weather.

Duffy Role Model

Earlier this week we were lucky enough to have Denzel Laumatia come to our school. He spoke to us about how he found his passion for reading when he was in primary school.
Denzel was really interesting to listen to and he has been able to achieve lots of great things so far in his life.
We are really grateful to have the Duffy books given to us to read especially as they are just in time for our holiday!

Our T Shirt Designs

We have been working on T Shirt designs that reflect our personalities with our Digital  facilitators. Have a look at how some of them turned out.

Lesson in progress.

We have loved having Mrs Cameron and Miss G in our class for this term. They come in once a week and work with us to grow our skills on our Chromebooks. We have had so much fun creating new posters and Google Drawings demonstrating our new skills. Here are some photos of us in action.
