The lucky ones are:-
Mia, Madeleine,Frazer, Kristof,Phoebe, Kenishia,

So can you get yourselves organised??

Hi everyone,

Awesome job today- you should be really proud of yourselves!!! It's certainly living up to the Pope's intention with the missions for the Holy Childhood. That is children helping children!! Now I forgot to say that athletics notices are due in tomorrow. We need parent help for next Wednesday as well as transport. Whoever reads this please get the txt chain going so everyone will know by tonight!! See you tomorrow.

Yeah I am here again!

Gotta go fast now as I am due at the tennis club to cook sausages for the juniors - will any of you be there??

I'm on a roll ... I am supposed to be tidying up the classroom but thought I would try this again.

To those who are optimistic!!

Hi Samuel and Hannah,
I am in - it is a miracle. How's your weekend going?

And of course I am speaking to anyone else that is looking!!

Hi Tui Class, Please post your highlights of Monday's Ship trip. What did you learn that you didn't know before the trip?

HI Tui Class

I'm hoping we can use this blog more effectively this term!!

My thoughts are around our Integrated Inquiry - Animals in Captivity.... if you go to www.stuff.co.nz and put panda Napier in the search box at the top right you will find some articles about pandas.

What are your thoughts about keeping animals in zoos?

Are zoos and animal parks a good way to help with animal conservation or should we find new ways of protecting the animals in the wild?

Share your thoughts....

Mrs W :-)

Test Post

Testing...

He Reo Aroha

Hi guys, sorry this is late but I could not get on at home so have come into school this afternoon just for you!! Anyhow, your response is now due Thursday.

We were fortunate to attend the theatre show - He Reo Aroha. The writers of this show describe this show as " The script and story being written, then it was workshopped on the rehearsal floor with the cast and crew. Through the workshopping process there is room for the actors to physically explore what the writers have created."
Having viewed the production describe what you think the above description means.

The writers consider the themes that is focuses on as being:- love, commitment and choices (in life). Write three sentences to summarise what He Reo Aroha is about, speaking about these themes.

He Reo Aroha told the story of six different characters (can you identify them all?)using two different languages, across two countries, with all the characters leading very different lives.
Give your opinion of the production considering these facts.

Finally the writers consider this a very important play for New Zealanders to see. Do you agree or disagree with them? (don't forget to justify your opinion i.e say why!)

Abstract and Figurative Art Experience

On Thursday we were fortunate to have a day to experience art in a number of forms.

• Comment on your favourite sculpture and why this one appealed to you.
• What did you think of your experience in the Gallery? Comment on what you thought of the art work and then your experience in the workshop.
• What learning with Mrs Winnie were reinforced by attending the Art Gallery?
• Remember to always justify your opinion!

I am expecting at least 3 paragraphs within your feedback.

Thanks to those who have posted comments! If your post isn't here or has been removed by me please see me.
Next Wednesday is the Eastern Zone's Cricket Tournament. Please remind me to hand you out the notices re this but you can start finding out whether or not your parents can help with transport. To Kilbirnie Park at midday or from the park at 2.30.

I have also had an email regarding Design and Music Challenges. I have included the link to this for you to look at and comment on whether you are interested in being involved or not.

I look forward to viewing your comments.
