What a fantastic start to Term 3! We have been having a lot of fun so far this Term, and are looking forward to all the great things we have coming up. A big welcome to Miss Kenny who teaches us on a Wednesday! Here are just a few of the things we have been doing so far.... 
God Bless. :)

Recently we all took part in jump rope for heart. This involved skipping in the afternoon for a certain period of time. We had relays, time trials, double dutch jumping and freestyle, it was a fantastic success.

Rory has been coming in to teach us how to play basketball, we had a great time!

Wow what a great day this was- Jackson`s Mum and Dad managed to get the highlanders cup to school! Some of us even got to touch it, thank you Tony and Sandy!

This week in room 4 we read the story Mr Beast. We looked in particular at the images and describing words used that help to paint pictures in our minds of haunted houses. We each came up with our own descriptions of a haunted house and then drew our own houses using pastels, water pastels and water.

 God bless- Room 4. :)

What a busy term we have had in Room 4!! One more week until the holidays, here are some pictures of what we have been getting up to. Enjoy :) 

                     Rory from clutha sports come in to teach us how to play hockey. 

                   Our Samoan art work we have completed for our People of the Pacific work.

 We look forward to sharing more of our exciting activities soon. God bless, Room 4.

Well done Room 4 on your Sasa performed at school assembly. A Samoan Sasa is a traditional Samoan dance sitting on the floor that uses beat patterns. Check out the video of our performance. 

Room 4 had such a fun time at Camp Columba! We got to take part in so many activities including rock climbing, abseiling, kayaking, bush craft, team building, low ropes, flying fox, flying weka and many more! We would like to say a huge thank you to the parents that came along and helped us. Here are a few photos of our trip.

                              Welcome back for Term 2!

This week in Room 4 we have been looking at ANZAC Day and those who fought for us. On Monday Miss Devaney gave each table group a picture of something to do with ANZAC that had been cut up and we had to put it back together. After we had completed the jigsaw we then had to make a statement for each picture about what was happening in the pictures.

Today we had Mrs Zoutenbier-Bisset teaching us. She did a fun writing task with us! We got given pictures and used a 5 W`s chart (What, Who, Why, When, and Where) to put down all of our ideas about the picture. Then we drafted a story about our picture and published it.
