Welcome to Term 3

I hope everyone in room ten is enjoying their holidays! I am looking forward to seeing you on Monday and hearing about what you have been up to. You can see a sneak peak of what we'll be doing this term in the photos on the right.

In the meantime, make sure you have all the stationery and bits and pieces you'll need for school, enjoy your last few days off, and I'll see you on Monday.

Farewell to Ace

We had a fantastic shared lunch on Wednesday to farewell Ace who is traveling home to South Korea. We are sad to say goodbye but wish her all the best and look forward to hearing from her soon.

Maori Language Week

Room 10 celebrated Maori Language Week in a number of ways. We had a visit to Wakari kindy to sing waiata and watch them act out some Maori myths. We enjoyed playing with the children and reading them picture books. We also hosted the kindy at school when they came to work with the kapa haka group. We have made putiputi (flowers) with flax and choreographed routines based on Maori stick games.

End of term two!

We're into our last week folks! What a great finish to the term with Sam, Aaliyah, Lauren and Josie making it into the Otago Science Fair next term - congratulations! Well done also to those who received 'Highly Commended' and 'Outstanding Effort' certificates.

This week we are continuing to celebrate Matariki and Maori Langauage Week by doing some flax weaving, poi and rakau activities. It is also time to finish off our term two work - those who are up to date on Friday will be rewarded.

Sadly, we farewell Ace this week when she returns to South Korea. We have enjoyed getting to know you this year Ace and wish you all the best for your journey. Make sure you keep in touch with us via the blog!

Have a great week!

The Observatory visit is still on!

Yes, despite the horrible weather, we will still visit the Observatory tonight. They have a classroom based programme we can do instead of being outside. See you soon!

Check out our science fair boards!

Well done to those of you (just about everyone!) who finished their boards on time and shared them with the class today. I am looking forward to hearing who has been successful at assembly on Friday afternoon.

Week ten - Science Fair!

Well, after 9 weeks of planning and hard work, the science fair is finally here! Well done to those of you who managed to finsh off your boards in class on Friday. I am looking forward to seeing the rest of your boards finished on Monday morning, and hearing your presentations.

If you have forgotten, the order for your information is: introduction-aim-hypothesis-equipment-method-results-conclusion. Your photos can go where you think they look best.

The children at WAKARI KINDERGARTEN are looking forward to seeing us on Tuesday morning. There are still about 15 places available for our OBSERVATORY VISIT on Thursday night too.

Remind your parents that they can come and view the science fair projects in the school hall on Wednesday and Thursdsay nights. The winners will be announced on Friday in our school assembly.

Have a great week!
