Fuelled for Life

Today Ms de Thier introduced us to body systems. Here is a wee video she showed us after we explored our initial thoughts. It helps to explain the different systems we will be looking at over the next few weeks. 

Cross country

Well done to Van, Brittany and Lily who all placed in our school cross country.

Van placed 1st in the year 3 boys race.
Brittany placed 3rd in the year 4 girls, and Lily placed 2nd in the year 4 girls.

Everyone did their best job and I was proud of you all! Great effort tamariki!

Buddy bench

As part of our inquiry last term, we wanted to do something to help improve our school community. Room 12 wanted to get a buddy bench. We wrote to bunnings and asked if they would be able to donate a park bench. On Friday, Jacqui from bunnings came and delivered our park bench. We are so thankful! Today we put it together, and now we are going to paint it and get a sign made. Watch this space!

Thank you Bunnings

Ready for us to put together

Making sherbet

Last week Room 12 and 13 made sherbet. We made it on Tuesday,  and on Wednesday we wrote about it. Check out our crazy "it's so sour!"  faces.

Fairy bread fractions

Room 12 maths children have been learning about fractions. In week one we made fairy bread. We had to cut it in to quarters. Mrs H would give us a fractions and that was how much we were allowed to eat.

Fuelled for life

We are learning about junk food dude and green smoothie guy. We watched this YouTube clip with Ms de Thier.

Junk food dude only eats junk food, and green smoothie guy only eats healthy food. Room 12 and 13 mixed themselves up and looked at food advertisements. We made collages of what foods we thought the two children would eat.

Mrs H made groceries lists from the collages. We were surprised to find out that it was more expensive to eat healthily. We thought it would be the opposite!

How to eat an oreo

Room 12 and 13 have been learning about writing instructions. Last week Ms de Thier lead our writing on how to eat an oreo. We were given this YouTube clip as a prompt.

Ms de Thier gave everyone an oreo to eat. How do you eat your oreo?

Sports day

On the Thursday of week one we had a fun sports day to launch our fit for life topic this term - fuelled for life. We were put in to house groups. There was a tug of war. There was also an obstacle course and a game.

Thanks Youthtown sport for helping with the day!

New furniture

In the holidays Mrs H and Ms de Thier went shopping together, to get some new furniture for the level 4 children. Mrs h and Ms de Thier bought 2 rugs, 4 mini beanbags, 2 stools and some clipboards. They bought it so the level 4 people could have their own learning space.  Room 12 and 13 love their new furniture!

Thank you to the Home and School group for sponsoring this.
