What would you write...

For our warm up today, Mrs Hanson put an image up on the interactive whiteboard. It was an image of Mrs Hanson, when in Queenstown, wearing a massive backpack which was the size of her. We had to speed writing for 10 minutes about this image. It was interesting listening to one another's stories and how different they all were. 

Dean Mckerras at LEEP

In Dance Works today, we had Dean Mckerras from School of Dance come and teach us a few dance routines. He also helped us critique our already made pieces by starpening up our our movements, posture and timing. 

The Water Cycle

At the moment in inquiry, we are looking at the water cycle. Here we have experimented and created our own water cycle. It is interesting to see the process in action! 

Pride Time

Our Pride Time this time round was a kiwiana afternoon! We made kiwi dip, quizzed ourselves on our kiwiana knowledge, prizes were chocolate fish and L&P chocolate as well as gumboot throwing. 

Volcanoes

We are learning about volcanoes and how do draw diagrams of them and their insides.

Inquiry

We are about to launch into learning about earthquakes and volcanoes, but before we do that it is important to have an understanding about our earth and how it is formed. 

Another YMCA session

Some more YMCA fun!

Netball Manawatu

This term we are very lucky to have Netball Manawatu teaching us a range of fitness, technique and ball skills.
