Book Week

To end our book week we came dressed as characters from some of our favourite books. We had a school parade in the hall with a book prize for the best character from each class. We also had prizes for the literacy quizzes and drawings of book characters. It was a great way to end the term.

An Exciting Day

Last Thursday was a very exciting day. Our 9 Kapa Haka students spent the day at the marae. They did lots of fun activities like making a paua pendant, painting rocks and flax weaving. In the evening they performed to their families and finished with a hangi.
The rest of the class went on a bus to the School of Music to see the NZ Army Band perform. They were awesome! They took us around the world with music. It was very funny and very enjoyable.

Science Fair

We have completed our science fair project and are ready for the exhibition. We have been giving Ozzie, our cockatiel, different fruit and vegetables to see which ones he liked. He has only been eating apple and spinach and we wanted him to have more variety in his diet. We now know lots more fruit and vegetables that Ozzie will eat.

Worm Fritters

On Friday Snakes performed a play called "Worm Fritters." THe teacher, in the play, promised to eat worms if the class won the reading competition for the month. The class did win so the children made worm fritters from a recipe they found on the internet.
Snakes did a terrific job of presenting the play. They all spoke carefully and acted their parts like their characters.
Well done.

Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubbles!

In Science this week we blew bubbles. We looked at the rainbow colours in the bubbles. When we put gloves on our hands we could hold the bubbles without them popping. We could even bounce them! We thought this might be because the hairs on the gloves helped to cradle the bubbles. It was awesome fun.

Rockets!

Last Friday in science we made rockets. It was cool. We liked it and we did a lot with it. Some people were finished so they got to fire their rocket and we all went to watch. Some flew a long way. We are going to have a class competition to see which rocket goes the furtherest.
