Cricket Coaching

We have been lucky enough to have had coaching sessions from Otago Cricket over the last two weeks. Our throwing, catching and batting skills have really improved.

Visit from the school jazz band

We were lucky to have a visit from the school jazz band and Dr Galloway. We were treated to several wonderful songs! Can you spot the Room 9 members of the band?

We even had some guest band members. Anna and Milly were on the egg shakers, and Louis was on the banana shaker. (Yes, it really was an instrument!)

Relay class champions

Today, at assembly, we were awarded the class relay cup. This was because we won the relay race against other Middle Team classes at the recent school athletics day!

Performance - Kakapo Dance

We performed our final show last night. Mrs Wood was so proud of us all! We did a fantastic job of dancing as kakapos, predators and DOC workers.

Popstick Turtles

We wound wool around popsticks to create our turtles. Hopefully, you'll agree that they ended up looking fabulous.

Pet Day

Today our classroom (and school) was taken over by pets of many shapes and sizes!  In the afternoon, we had a pet parade, where we got to show off all of our pets.

My Little Garden Planting

Today we finally got to plant our 'My Little Garden' seeds. We talked about the needs of our plants, and over the next few weeks we will nurture them. Hopefully we will end up with healthy seedlings to plant in our gardens!

No homework this week.

There will be no homework sheet this week, as it is a short week due to Labour Day.

Your mission is to continue to learn the words to the two songs...

       - Kakapo

       - Parks for people

Please find the songs linked below. Click on the video to hear the words.

Kakapo

Parks for People

A, B, C or D - what did you choose?

For homework optional extras this week, we could choose a word this week that started with the letter A, B, C or D.
Here's some of the interesting topics that were shared.

 Ryan shared all about Clocks.

 Eyimofe and Martin chose to tell us about dinosaurs.

Dominic shared some information about avocados, and even set up a 'growing' experiment.

And we were inundated with delicious cakes!

 Here are Ewan's delicious Banana Muffins.

And Milly and Evie both made a cake each, and shared a powerpoint with us.

They were all delicious. As you can see the class have already devoured Milly's cake in this photo!
