Anzac Day Wreath

On the last week of school in Term 1 Room 5 made poppies to put together to make an Anzac wreath to remember all those who went to war for New Zealand. We remembered those who were lucky enough to return home and those that didn't. We also made a poppy to wear at the Anzac Service that we had as a school. Opal and Olivia carried up the wreath as a Remembrance to all those very brave people.

Here is the class standing proudly by our Anzac wreath.

Some of us chose to leave our poppies beside the crosses of some of the fallen soldiers that we had displayed at school.

Learning about Kaitiakitanga

One of our school values is Kaitiakitanga. We have been learning that Kaitiakitanga means to show respect and responsibility by looking after our environment. We thought about how we can show Kaitiakitanga in the classroom as well as in the playground. Each day we try to practise Kaitiakitanga. Look at how we can show Kaitiakitanga in our school.

We have been learning about Perseverance

We have been learning about one of our School Values 'Perseverance'. We each thought about something we wanted to improve with in our learning and set a goal of tying to persevere with it. Read our goal and how we got on with it.

Our Published Writing - Bad Luck Duck

We listened to the story 'Bad Luck Duck' where poor duck got stuck in the mud and none of his friends would help in case they got stuck too. We put ourselves in Duck's place and thought of what we would do to get ourself out of the mud. Read our writing. I'm sure with these great ideas we would all have been able to get ourselves out of that yucky mud.

Wow Room 5. You are all making some great progress with the learning of your alphabet letters and the sounds that these letters make. You blew us away with your progress this week. You should all feel very proud of yourselves. Mrs Scott and Miss MacLeod are certainly proud of you all.
