ACTION WORLD

We had a fantastic time at Action World. In our writing we have used verbs and adjectives to describe one activity we did.

I zoomed down the water slide and it was fast. The water splashed on my face. It felt weird.

I climbed the steep stairs to the top and zoomed down the bouncy slide. It was very fast.  It made me scared when I went up in the air.

I zoomed down the water slide and bounced into the water at the end. The water was freezing. It splashed over me.

I climbed up the hill to the water slide. I slid down. It was fun. I was covered in water,

The water slide was slippery. When I slid down I could see the cars, slide and trapeze. I zoomed down very, very fast. At the bottom it was cold so I got out.

All Black Blackout Day

We wanted to give our support to the All Blacks and enjoyed dressing in black. We were so proud of them when they won the World Cup!

Stream Investigation

On Friday we joined Room 3 to walk up the School Road bush track to look at the stream. We looked carefully to see what creatures were living in the stream. We measured the temperature of the water and it was 16 degrees. We didn't see any rubbish in the stream which was good because when we looked at the stream by school there was a lot of rubbish in it.
After we had looked at the stream Gareth showed us rat, possum and stoat traps.

A BUSY FIRST WEEK OF TERM

                                                       
On Thursday 15th October we took part in the New Zealand Shake-out. 
We practised  'Drop, Cover, Hold.'

 

After morning tea we received a surprise visit from Mark the manager at Countdown, We were very lucky because Countdown gave us a huge container of dominoes. There were so many, we sorted them and gave some to Rooms 0, 1 and 3.  They also gave us bottles of water, some delicious cakes and a crate of yummy apples.

    

THANK YOU COUNTDOWN!

October is 'Save Kiwi Month'

 

We decided to be part of the Great Kiwi Morning Tea and  raise some money for this worthy cause.

Thank you to all those parents who made batches of biscuit dough for us to make our Kiwi shaped biscuits. Rooms 2 & 3 raised $150 from the biscuits that we made and sold.

Kiwi really need our help. In unmanaged areas, we’re losing kiwi at a rate of up to 2% per year. That’s about 27 birds being killed every week by pests and predators. If we didn’t do anything,  we could lose kiwi in the wild within a couple of generations. There is lots of great work going on around the country to make sure this doesn’t happen, which is why our participation in the Great Kiwi Morning Tea was  important. –  The money raised will help with programmes like predator trapping, Operation Nest Egg, monitoring kiwi health and advocacy and education. All of which are keeping kiwi alive and well. 
By all coming together and doing what we can, we know that the future of kiwi will be secure.

JUMP ROPE

We had a great time doing Jump Rope on the last day of Term Three. We showed the parents the skills we had learned. The school raised $558.10. This money goes to the NZ Heart Foundation.
