Netball Game

Many thanks to Ava's Nana who came down to the netball courts at Hagley to watch the team play a couple of weeks ago. She took some great photos of the team playing. 

Week 8

This week we welcomed a new student teacher: Mr Daly to Room 19. He is here for 2 weeks this term and then he will be back working with us in Term 4. We know that he will enjoy being with us. 

The Year 6 students had a great morning at Cobham during the week. They were involved in a number of activities that they thoroughly enjoyed. 

ART: We are slowly putting together our next masterpiece after an idea from Miss Cocks. 

Keep checking in to see what we are up to.

Some of our Environmental Art has made it into the administration block. It has been framed and hung up on the wall in the stairwell. Come and check it out. 

Our Inquiry Topic took a different turn this week. We are now working in a range of gorups around questions that we all had. Some of us are working on plants, some are delving into the rubbish at Ilam, some are watching country calendar about bees and others are making phone calls to experts.

Next Week: We all need to remember to bring our diaries every day. We also need to make sure that we are checking them every night and completing whatever we have written in them. It is all very good when we write down each day our tasks for at home, but the next step is to make sure we check it and let our parents know what our expectations are. 

Remember to go on Matheltics, (and Lexia) and to work on our Science badges.

Have a great weekend and 

GO THE ALL BLACKS

Week 7

We had a fantastic start to the week with a trip to the Eco Depot in Bromley! Thank you so much to all of the parents who were able to help us out with transport, it was greatly appreciated. 

We all learnt a lot of new information about rubbish, composting and worm farms! 

Huge thanks to Chris and Celia from Christchurch City Council for your expert knowledge! 

What did you learn?

Ilam School Orchestra and Choir gave us a short performance on Friday before their big show next week! They were awesome! Good Luck!

Winter sports: Friday's have been putting in fantastic weather for our winter sports, long may it last! 

Keep an eye out for our presentations about Matariki! 

Bees hives

Matariki

We have had another busy week in Room 19. 

It was great to see the students who were able to make it at the Matariki celebration. Talking to a parent today after school, she felt the same as me...there was a great amount of learning from presenters.

Students were read stories about Matariki

As part of the learning Room 19 prepared Rewena paraoa which is traditional Maori bread. First we had to make a potato bug and then leave that for about 24 hours. The next step was to add flour, salt and sprinkle over baking soda and knead for 10 minutes. Adam, Niamh and Charles were great at doing the kneading. 

Today we all worked in the Tech room making Pumpkin and Kumara soup. There have been mixed thoughts about the soup. Most of us loved the bread though.

Week 5

What an awesome week we have had in Room 19
