Congratulations to Dorian, Mac, Jordan, Savannah, Isla and Kaydee. They have been using PRIDE in their work, especially their Reading. 

Homework Awards

Congratulations to Karome, Joe, Savannah, Kaydee, Hayley, Mac, Cayden and Luke who received certificates and prizes for their effort in their homework. These students have brought in their homework every week in Term 3. Who will be able to bring in their homework every week this term?

Classroom Objects

This term we have been persevering to learn the Te Reo words for Classroom Objects. 

- Today students found different objects and placed them on their desks. 

- When their partner wasn't looking, each student had to hide an object. 

- Their partner had to then guess which object had been removed (by using the Maori word for the object).

Week 6 Certificates

Luke received the Principal's Award for Week 6. He has been persevering with his running throughout the term in preparation for our cross country. He has managed to run 103 laps around our school during our training sessions.

Congratulations to our PRIDE Certificate recipients. Karome, Cayden, Jordan, Ria and Milly students have also been persevering with their running throughout the term.

Similes and Metaphors

For our writing we are learning to add language features to our stories. 
We are focussing on similes and metaphors this week.
Here are some examples that students came up with yesterday:

"The star burst through the sky like a rocket." 

Karome and Ethan

"The star was as small as a rock." 

Kupa and Manix

"The stars are as shiny as glitter." 

Ria and Savannah

I wonder what we can come up with today and the rest of the week. Keep watching our blog for more examples of our similes and metaphors.

Rona and the Moon, Karome

This Legend was rewritten by Karome. He listened to and read different legends and then wrote his own version. 

String Games with Room 14

This afternoon Room 15 were invited to Room 14 to learn some of the string games that were taught on Monday.

Students from the class had seen how much fun people were having and were trying hard to teach themselves how do make some of the string figures. After a day of persevering ourselves Mr Lodge and his class worked with us to show us the steps of creating some of the different string figures.

If you are wanting instruction on how to make some of the string figures you can go to:
