Jake's Sushi

Jake chose to find an Asian recipe, follow it and make an Asian dish. This was worth 2 points on the Blooms Taxonomy scale. When Jake adds his recipe and reflection to this post he will earn an extra point.

Year 5 & 6 Camp

I'm sitting here with Katie, Chanelle and Jake. Everyone is doing their camp diaries. 


"We have done river crossing. It was really, really cold. We walked up 300 steps to see the Devil's Punch Bowl." Chanelle.


"We went up to the Devil's Punch Bowl. The waterfall was amazing. We had big steps and there were heaps and heaps and heaps. We got sore legs." Katie


"On the way here it was a long way. A really, really long way and longer than in the car because the bus was slow. We had milo. It was really, really nice. My legs were really, really cold from crossing the river." Jake


I have forgotten to bring my USB cord so I can't put the photos on :(

Tell us about your weekend!

Pajama Poetry Day

The Year 7 students are on camp. The Year 6 students and Miss Paterson have been left behind! What to do? HAVE A PAJAMA POETRY DAY with our teddybears! We have listened to pajama poems, teddy bear poems and stories.

But what have we learned?

We have been learning how to write a free verse poem. We wrote our own poems about our Teddy Bears or our Pajamas. Please read them. Just click on 'comments' below this post. Enjoy!

Year 7 & 8 Camp

We will miss the Year 7s when they are away on camp! We look forward to hearing all about the camp when you get back. I wish I was coming along with you. Have fun!

Morning Greetings

We are learning to greet people in the mornings in te reo.

Holiday Snapshot Writing

We have a few more Holiday Snapshot recounts completed. 
We are learning to write about a short space of time.

We will know we can do this when:
- we have written about no more than seven minutes of a personal experience
- included adjectives to describe feelings, tastes, smells and what we see
- described our thoughts and emotions.


Click on the comments below to see our fabulous Holiday Snap Shot Stories. Student's work will be published as it is completed.

Completed Lead Lights

Sorry it has taken so long to get the lead light pictures up but I wanted to make sure we had a photo of everyone. Don't they look fabulous? Well done everyone. If it was possible to do this again is there anything you would do differently?

How is your weekend going?

Hey guys what have you been doing over the weekend?

Lead Lights

On Thursday and Friday we welcomed a visiting art teacher to our class. Leigh taught us how to make imitation lead light art using glass, roof paint and four mix and paints. Check out the process.
