Jeremiah's Duffy Certificate

Jeremiah always come to school with a smile and an "I can" attitude so he was the Room 16 Duffy Certificate winner for week 4.  He shared his book "Grandpa's Cardigan" with us and we enjoyed revisiting this favourite.  Thank you for sharing Jeremiah.

Always Here, Never late winners for Term 2 Week 3

There were five winners of the "Always Here, Never Late" certificates in Term 2 Week 3.  They were Bentley, Odyn, Jadakiss, Kristina and Jeremiah.  Well done for getting to school on time each day.

Odyn's Duffy Certificate

Odyn collected his Duffy certificate and selected a Scooby - Doo book which he kindly shared with the class.  Everyone enjoyed listening to Scooby - Doo adventures and on Monday Odyn wrote "My Mum read me a book.  It was my Scooby book."

Making Kite Tails Fly

At Makerspace the children are making kites.  They tested materials to see what would make good kite tails and found crepe paper was light enough to fly and so would make good kite tails.

Muddy Puddles

With all the rain Auckland has experienced lately, our playing fields have become a little muddy in places.  While mud is great to slush around in and attracts children like a magnet, Mr Burt asked the children to stay out of the mud and the puddles so that the grass did not get damaged.  The children were very good and remembered to keep out of the puddles at playtime and lunchtime.

"Keep out of the puddles.  I like green grass."  By Bentley

"I have to stay out of the puddles. because we are not allowed in the mud."  By Alarmanda

Making Dragon's Fire

The first frost of winter provided a good discussion topic for writing.  Jerome went out and discovered the grass was all icy, white and crunchy.  He ran inside and announced he could make "dragon's fire".  Of course all the children wanted to find out how he could do this so he shared his "secret".

"I can make dragon's fire outside in the cold."  By Jerome

Get, Set Go Kiwi Sport

Through the Get, Set, Go programme the children have been learning a variety of skills from balancing, throwing and catching, doing an obstacle course and listening to instructions to be able to participate in games.  They have all enjoyed learning these new skills thanks to the Sport Auckland coaches.
