Kia Kaha

Kia Kaha:
Be Strong.
We are learning to be strong. (Kia Kaha)
Kia Kaha is important to all of us. Because it helps us defend ourselves against bullying. 
Bullying can come in different forms these include: Cyber, Physical, Verbal, Exclusion, mental and sometimes even jokes can hurt others self esteem. So we did some exercises so we can identify when bullying happens. We learnt what to do if we are witnesses, victims or even bully's the answer wasn't always going to a grown up. We got a slip of paper with a scenario and we had to freeze in a position to show the scenario then when she called ACTION! We had to act out how we could solve the situation.

Creative photos

These  photos  shows you how amazing it is when you pour water out of a drink bottle. The force used is gravity pulling the water down to the earth's surface!!!

Photography

In room 1 and 2 we have priorities and choices to complete for reading. One of our choices was to take a creative photo and caption it so we went out side and took some photos. We choose the best 2 photos from the ones we had already taken! Then we made 2 rhyming sentences that matched the photos, next we put it all together with pic collage and added some creative stickers that matched the text. For example we added jandles for the first text and a love heart for the other text. So now we are really proud that we have successfully completed one of our choices!

Wearable Junk.

 

                                 Wearable junk!!!!!

On the 18th of September 2014 our school CSNS had a competition. The conservation club hosted this event to raise money to go to Kapiti Island and to help a wildlife centre. (Kapiti  Island  is on the out skirt of New Zealand). The 4 people who entered from room 1 were Claudia, Ana, Maia and Georgia. We entered because we were inspired by the idea. We all wanted to make a difference to our community by making some outfits made out of junk! The four of us thought it would be a fun and easy to raise money and there were many entries. Georgia did a great job of her outfit so great that she came 3rd in the senior category. Since there where a lot of people she was one lucky kid!!!!!! All of the entries were amazing! 

Dance NZ made performance at Wearable Junk!

On Thursday 18th of September the talented dance NZ group performed at this years CSNS wearable junk. We were specially asked to perform at this fantastic event, we may have performed amazingly and left the crowd speechless but we couldn't of done it without the amazing Miss Ross! A special thanks goes out to you and I'm sure the rest of the dance NZ team feel the same. During our second dance the music stopped but we just carried on and handled it like pro's. The night was amazing and it was a perfect practise show for the real day.

We are at the library

This book is called billionaire boy. It is about a boy named Joe Spud. He was the richest 12 year old in the world!

We like this book because it has sense of humor and it is really funny his dad got rich just because he invented toliet paper.He sold so much toliet paper and got a lot of money from it that is why the kid Joe -Spud anything he every wanted.

We recommend this book for kids from 8 -13.

In Training

This is a play 6 children from rooms 1 and 2 put together. We were told to pick a school journal and do the play in it.We were really short of time and only had a week to film and edit. It took about 3 days to film(with costumes and props.)But we were lucky to have a big native bush that was the perfect place to film. After that we had to paste all the scenes together, add in black outs(when needed) then fit the title in and our end credits. We did it all on imovie and we have entered it in the digi awards.We have our fingers crossed to win. It was an amazing experience and super fun:)!!!!!!

Jigsaw reading

We have been having some great reading sessions this week!!  We split into 3 large groups to read and discuss a book. We then split into groups of 3 to discuss our book with 2 people who had read different books. We looked for common themes and ideas and summarised these in 3 words. Eg - friends, choices, bullying.

Cricket catching

Room 1 has been learning how to do cricket catching by getting into groups of two and throwing the ball to each other. Remember we're only just learning but look how amazing we are already. You can  see that we're having so much fun and concentrating on the ball.

Sport Rotation

Room 2 have been learning how to play badminton in sport rotation. We are pro's at it now. We have learnt how to do front serve back serve and over head shots. We have been playing rallies. Badminton is fun!!!!!
