Crossing safely

After our day of targeting speedsters in front of our school, the Rotorua district Council gave us high-vis vests to wear every day when we cross the road to get to our school hall. We like to be seen.

Anzac Day

We looked at what Anzac Day is about en talked about the meaning of the poppy flower.

We wrote a class acrostic poem on Anzac Day.

Welcome back to Term 2!

Hello Room 4



I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday.

This will be another exciting and busy term. Have a look on our Class Wiki to see what our learning journey will be about this term.

We have new QuadBlogging buddies too! They are from England, U.K. and Australia! We will start QuadBlogging with them in week 2.

I am sure we will have another awesome Term together.
Have fun!

Happy Easter

Thank you to all our followers for a wonderful Term. We hope everyone will have a Happy Easter and an enjoyable holiday.

Clay Food Sculptures

This Term in Art we were working on making Clay Food Sculptures.
In pairs we've decided what our favourite food is, what it smells and tastes like and if the food is healthy or unhealthy. We also learnt about clay and where it comes from, how to shape it into clay food and how to store it safely.




Getting the paint ready for painting the 'food' and the end result.

On Ruru patrol

Today a road safety station was set up outside our school and we were on Ruru patrol! Drivers were stopped by the police and we had the opportunity to tell motorists to slow down, because we cross the road every day to get to our school hall.

We gave the drivers an information leaflet, and a 'Ruru the road safety morepork' gift pack before we sent them on their way.

Performing the HAKA

After looking at the Year 4 students at Fieldhead Carr performing their HAKA (after they looked at our Kapa Haka post), we decided to put our HAKA videos on our Blog so that they can see how our class is doing the HAKA in New Zealand.
