Each of our table groups have chosen another country to support during the world cup and have decorated their tables with lots of interesting things.  Which teams did we choose?

Talk Like a Pirate Day

We had lots of fun with our Muriwai buddies.  We created our own pirate characters, drew a pirate, went on a treasure hunt and made pirate puppets - thanks for being our awesome buddies Room 22 and 23.

Netball Girls Show Sportsmanship

Jayda H, Caitlin, Emma, Kiani and Brianna won Sportsmanship of the year at the netball prizegiving at Te Pai courts on Sunday.  They showed great Summerland Values in all their games.  They won 8 games and lost 7 in the season - well done girls!

Jeongmin's Reading Challenge

Jeongmin has completed over 150 days reading at home.  He has kept a log and filled it in each day.  Jeongmin's favourite books are non-fiction, especially ones about dinosaurs.

Callum Plays Rugby

On Saturday I went to Waitemata Rugby Club for prize giving.  I got a trophy for Most Improved Player for my team.  Nathan is my coach and my Dad helps too.  We had hotdogs and fizzy drinks and lots of lollies.  It was the best day ever!

Yasir's Academic Home Learning Challenge

I chose Study Ladder because you can get high scores.  If you play lots and lots of learning games you can be the highest one in the class one day.  I have a certificate because I play lots of learning games.  It is great on Study Ladder.  My alien's age is 26.  Awesome isn't it?  My class is trying hard to get a high age like me.  School is so cool.

Zoo Keeper Kaitlyn

Caitlin, Abigail and I went to the Junior Zoo Keeper programme in the holidays.   We got to pat Burma the elephant and feed him by hand.  Behind the scenes of the lion enclosure we got to see the lions and they were following us.  I think they thought we were dinner!

Honey Bee Explanations

Our school wide writing focus has been explanation writing.  We found out how honey bees make honey and wrote explanations about the process.  To create our posters we used KidPix, Comic Life and The PrintShop2.

To see and read our posters go to our school website page where you will be able to open each thumbnail in a new window. Click here for the link.

Maui's Sun

After reading the Maori legend ‘Maui and the Sun’, with illustrations by Cliff Whiting, we drew our own sun based on the legend.  We looked carefully at the illustrations and other examples of Maori arts and patterns and included them in our own design.  When we were happy with our design we used warm coloured dye and black vivid to complete our artwork.
