It has been a busy week.

We are on the countdown until the school holidays now.

We carved flat out last week, and made it to the sculpture unveiling ceremony on Thursday morning. We were very lucky that Arch Deacon Harvey Ruru came and blessed our work. It looks great - take a look at our other blog site for more on the sculptures.

The Christmas carols on Wednesday night were fun. Lots of singing, even though it was hard to hear with the windy weather! The kapa haka girls looked lovely in their white clothes and angel wings.

The whole kapa haka group performed in the hall on Thursday afternoon. They were fabulous! Well done guys.

On Friday we had Tabloid sports - lots of water and lots of fun. I don't think anyone managed to remain dry, especially with Mr Wemyss "accidentally" getting people with buckets of water or the hose!

Only 2 and a half days to go now. We have moved from Room 14 to Room 9, but we still feel like we are room 14!

ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAYS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Mr Science

Mr Science (Sterling) has been taking each class for 3 sessions. We had one session on magnets, one session on flight, and one session on lazer pointers and reflection. Here are some photos of us as budding scientists!

Sculpture planning

Today Ian Longley came to our class to help us plan ideas for our Smart Art sculpture.

We used wooden blocks to plan our sculpture instead of the limestone so that it didn't make a mess!

Then we had some carving practice on our limestone blocks (Oamaru stone).

I've made friends with Anahera, Rebecca, Kieran, Kyle, Finnian, Olivia, Elicia, Deon, Erica, Del'chez, Sophie, Brenton, Hannah, Janaya, and Maya.

Maths- fractions

We started doing FRACTIONS 2 days ago. The bigger the bottom number on a fraction, the littler the fraction is.

Today we were able to choose our maths equipment because we have finished our TIME topic and will start a new topic on FRACTIONS on Monday.

Here are some pictures of us, and the equipment we decided to use. Lots of innovative thinking and team work involved!
