Homework that would make Harold proud!

Wow Meg, your acrostic poem says everything about why Harold's visits are so important for us all. Tu meke! Harold will love hearing this on Wednesday.

Measuring using a metre

We made our own metre measuring tape and found all the things in class that were more than a metre, less than a metre or equal to a metre. Now we are going to do the same at home! Can you help us?

Special mail!

Ruby got a letter today to thank her for donating her hair for children's wigs. In the letter it said 'I am proud to know that there are young people out there like you that care. Well done Ruby. We are also very proud of you.

First guest for our Log Hotel.

Thanks Millie for bringing the lizard for us to see. We're sure he'll enjoy living in the Nature. Maybe his family will move in too!

Flag decisions.

Room 7 asked us to vote for the flag we thought would make the best NZ flag. The whole school is voting! The results will be shared once results are counted.

Skeleton work force!

Who thought we could be like museum workers and put a dinosaur skeleton together!

Great Scott! What's happening in our room!!!!!

Our dinosaur egg is hatching rapidly!! What type of dinosaur will it be? Will it be fully hatched by the end of school today? How will we keep it safe? Will it be fierce like T-Rex or vicious like the velociraptor?

Big fossil hunt!

Can you believe it! We have real fossils in the dirt pile!! Will we have to get an expert to tell us what these bones are?!

Learning rules to help us spell

We learnt that every syllable has a vowel. This means we need to check our writing to make sure we haven't missed out these important sounds!

Senior Speeches - school finals

We all had a favourite speech we liked today. Some were funny or serious and some were sad. All of them made us wonder what topic we would choose to present. Would it be funny, serious or sad?
