Blue

Blue is like blue candyfloss.

Blue is like the sky.

Blue is like bluebirds flying in the sky.

Blue is for blue bells.

Blue is like the sea with the waves crashing on the rocks.

A problem in the story

Crash! Bump! Crash! Bump! Bang!!!!! I looked out of the window. I saw raining ice cream. I rushed out side with my plate and caught some ice cream. The next day I woke up I looked out the window. Ice cream was on the road. I quickly woke up my family. We went outside but we slipped. We tried shuffling home. Everyone slipped in the town. People tried eating it. But they all got tummy aches. Then I had an idea. I told my family. The idea was that everyone in the town would mop the big pile of ice cream so we got working. It was all gone.

By Evie


On the weekend I heard Bump Wham Bang Bump Ding. I went outside and I saw sweets falling from the sky. I hadn't had dinner yet so I went back inside and got a huge bag and lots of sweets came falling from the sky into my huge bag. It took a long time to eat them so I shared them with my family then with my friends. I shared them with the whole world. I went on boats, on planes in my car. I got tired. I stopped driving. I slept for the rest of my life!!

World of Maths

This week we attended the World of Maths presentation. The presenter set up the hall with hands on maths activities for the students and gave each student a booklet to record their findings.
They worked in co-operative groups to explore the activities, which covered a range of maths strands including measurement, number, algebra and probability. The student’s evaluation at the end reflected their enjoyment in exploring maths concepts using different equipment.

Enrichment

The junior students participate weekly in a rotation programme where they get to experience a range of exciting learning opportunities with a teacher from the Junior Syndicate. Here are some photos of the students learning Te Reo, Science, dance, weaving and art.

Disappearing pictures

We used chalk, water, a concrete surface and paintbrushes to draw water pictures on the concrete. We predicted what we thought would happen to the water. We thought the water would disappear and the chalk would be left. We were right in our predictions. The liquid water "disappeared", it turned into gas (water vapour) which is called EVAPORATION!
