School Production: 'History Rocks'

We worked very hard on learning our dances for our school production.  Our class performed to: 'Count On Me' and 'We Will Rock You.'  At the end, the whole school sang and danced together on: 'Simply The Best' and 'Jailhouse Rock.'  We had so much fun and thought it was our best production ever!

ShakeOut earthquake drill

We participated in the New Zealand ShakeOut earthquake drill on 26 September, the first ShakeOut drill held nationwide in any country!

We practised "Drop, Cover and Hold" which we know is the right action to take in an earthquake.

Read to Someone

We love reading to someone. We sit beside our friend and follow the text with our eyes.  We encourage each other to use our reading strategies and we are positive, offering praise and encouragement .
During this time, we know to use our 'soft voices'.

The Morepork

Greer brought a dead Morepork to class to show us what they look like.  We had a great day talking about and finding information to answer our many questions about Moreporks.

Work on Writing

We choose to use our 'Making Funny Stories is Fun Dominoes' for our Work on Writing. We enjoy this activity, because we are able to write 'silly sentences'.

Blogging

We enjoy working on our individual blogs: http://kidblog.org/Little-Giants/  

They are our eporfolios's and we publish and reflect on our learning.

Painting our Guitars

We had so much fun painting our guitars. We will use them in our School Production for one of our songs, "We will rock you."



Thank you to Bruce and Victoria who made them for us!

Famous Olympian Report

This Term we have been learning about the Olympics. We had to choose a Famous Olympian Athlete and had to do some research to find out some information about our athlete.

Using our Virtues

Matthew and William have been using the Virtues of Caring and Helpfulness towards a new student in our class. They saw that he needed some help with writing his letter of the week and went over to help him and showed him what to do.

Well done, buddies! I am proud of you.

Thank you Blake!

Blake walked into the class this morning with this huge guitar case. After greeting me politely, he said: "I brought you a flower," while opening the case. There it was, the most beautiful flower.




Thank you Blake, you have made my day and I will always remember you. You are a very special boy and I am privileged to have you in my class.

The little Kiwi read by Matthew

I loved learning about Kiwis and have been very enthusiastic about my learning. I brought a book about a Kiwi to read to the class.
