Holiday Diaramas

Here are some of the holiday diaramas that we have been working on this term

World of Wearable Arts

        Jessie and Rebecca organised a Wearable Arts exhibition for their Highfield Learner Challenge.

Three girls from our class entered. Lili, Jessamy and Ana did an awesome job with their costumes and with their appearances on the catwalk on Wednesday night. Ka pai, girls.
                      
                          Jessamy's theme was "Not of Nature". Ana's theme was "Papatuanuku".

                                        
                                      

 Lili's costume told us about how nature needs bees.

            Lili, and her brother, Caleb, came first in their section too. 

       Congratulations!!!!

Last week of Term 2

It is the last week of term. We are very busy trying to complete our Reuben Paterson style pictures and our articles and models about places around New Zealand.
On Thursday afternoon the whole school has a hockey tournament up at the stadium.
We are having our last week of PMP and we are having some hiphop dance lessons.
No wonder the week is rushing past.


We are sad to read that Mrs Elrick's class is finished for the year. We have enjoyed reading their blog and admiring all their work. We wish them all the best for their holidays and for next year.

Book Week

What a week we have had: quizzes in the library, teacher swapping for Read and Feed, visiting readers in the library at lunchtimes and today, dress up day for book week.


We had characters from Little Women, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Harry Potter, Fantastic Mr Fox. Can you spot them? And the witches, princesses, cats, pirates and fairies? 

                                               Lined up ready to go to the Grand Parade.

                                                 With most of the school at assembly.

                                                           The three Snow Whites.

                                                  Prize winning costumes from the school.

Jump Jam Competition

Today we went to a jump jam competition. There were lots of people.  We had lots of fun. We got three lollies each and we did our song, Candyman. We performed as part of a team of Year 1 - 3 dancers.

Jessamy said, that she was thinking about what France looks like and choosing the words that would go in my story and help to bring it all alive.

                   Five Senses

I like the look of dresses swaying on the ground

J’aime the smell of perfume floating through the air

I love the taste of chocolate and banana rolls churning in my stomach

I enjoy the sound of music drifting through my ears

I admire the feel of silk brushing against my skin

PMP

We do PMP three times a week in the afternoon.

It is fun. 

We learn new activities and different ways to use our bodies.

We have objects to move around and use and obstacles to negotiate.

We work in a team without arguing. We enjoy having fun in the hall.

Cross Country 2012

Every year, the whole school goes down to the local park and participates in the Cross Country. Each age group runs a different lap. Year 2 run round the field. Year 3 run round the lake. Mrs Roxburgh was on duty half way round the lake and took these photos of some of our Year 3 runners.
