Sharna's Holiday!

Sharna has been away on holiday to America over the last 2 weeks.  She sent us this picture showing us some of her adventures.  We can't wait for her to come back and share her experiences!

We are in the middle of writing imaganative stories.  We are looking at photos of children from around the world who have to take dangerous journeys just to get to school.  We are imagining that we are one of these students and are describing our trip.  Check out the website to look at the images of these dangerous journeys.

Bye Bye....

This week we say good bye to Caleb and the rest of his family as they are moving up to Northland to take up a new farming position.  Caleb brought some cupcakes to share with us,   YUM!!!

 

Good luck Caleb, I'm sure you will have a great time at your new school and make a lot of new friends.  

Make sure you keep in touch!   

100 Years of the ANZAC's

At the start of this term we started learning out World War 1 and the 100 year anniversary of the landing of the ANZAC's at Gallipoli.  We have completed a lot of research, written Haiku Tunnel Books and Simile Window Dioramas and well as producing some amazing Poppy Art.  Make sure you come into Room 14 and take a look at some of our amazing work.

ITM Cup

Today Jack from the Taranaki Rugby Union came into 

school to help coach the Year 5 and 6 Rippa-Rugby team.  He also brought along the NPC ITM Cup that Taranaki won last year.  AWESOME!

Year 7/8 Food Technology and Design

Check out all of the great work that Mr Sefton and the Year 7/8 Food DPP group are doing.  Looks great and YUMMY!

Black and White Movies @ Opunake Theatre

We went and watch two old Black and White Movies at Opunake Theatre.  They were great, interesting and funny.  They didn't have any sound and the only music they had was with the piano….

Opunake Primary vs Ngaere

We held our first Year 4/5/6 inter school sports exchange against Ngare on 8th of May.  Wins in the Rugby and Netball and a close second in hockey.  Thank you to the coaches and everyone who came to watch.  Well done to everyone in the teams!

Blowing Bubbles

In term one Room 14 looked at how we get on at school. We decided to try and make a movie using photos. We took photos of ourselves, coloured them in with pastels, drew bubbles and published our rules using 'Pic Collage.' We are still experimenting with stop motion but not a bad first try...

Check out these great Cartoon Faces

At the start of the year we drew these Awesome Cartoon faces.  We followed directions from the 'Art Projects for Kids' (link) website.  Check out our great work...
