Ranfurly Shield comes to visit Room 27

Today we had a special visitor in room 27.

Tabai Matson (Isaac's Dad and the coach of the Canterbury Rugby Team) came to bring the Ranfurly Shield and the Cup the team has won for being the best in NZ. He told us a bit of the history behind the Shield. It is 108 years old and was presented to Auckland by Lord Ranfurly as a football (soccer) cup. The picture on the front of the shield is of a game with a round ball.

Thank you Mr Matson

Week 7

Hi I'm Emma and I was the class leader this week.

On Friday we did some painting and made it into a mosaic.

This week we were also working on our postcards. We were making the picture on the front of our post cards of a planet we are studying or our super hero we were writing about or just a planet on the back of them. We have to write about the picture on the front of our post cards like if we went on holiday there and we are writing back to our mum or if we dicoverd a planet.

Week 6

Hi my name is Jorja and I am the leader this week.

This week we have done lots of writing about a character from space doing something and then we have to write a problem and how they would solve it.

On Friday we did wombling which means that the whole class goes around the school picking up rubbish. We started at the spider web then went along the fence line then the Big A and the bushes. After that we went back to class. It's great to keep our school clean and tidy.

On Friday we got told that a new boy was coming to our school.

We also got told that our school pool was fine but around it was damaged.

Our topic is space and I am studying Venus with Isaac and Joey. We have done some facts, a bit of our poster and the boarder of our poster.

During the week Emma showed us some things that she made at Brownie camp. Me and Dylan went to Brownie camp as well.

Maiya showed us a picture of a horse she had drawn from the internet.

Next Monday our new person is coming. We just cant wait.

In a couple of weeks we have to sing 4 songs at choir without looking at the words so we are doing the words for Handwriting. We did wombling today as well . Today a special guest is coming so we had to go wombling... Our school looks very clean. Our classroom is tidy as well.

Hi Im Max and I am the leader this week. This week we did a quiz about books because it was book week. On the last day of book week we had to dress up as a book character. I was chosen 'Best dressed' in our class and our whole class got a certificate for everyone making a big effort to come along to school as a character. School finished on Thursday because of show weekend.

Week 4

Hi my name is Curtis. I am the leader this week.

This week room 27 have been learning about space. We need to answer questions like
"Why is space so dark?"

On Wednesday a couple of us were chosen to go to Cricket coaching after lunch. We played with some Canterbury coaches and I got 3 wickets.

On Thursday, 3 children from our class went to the Zones Athletics Day. They were Finn, Bailey and Alida. They all did really well. I did not go because I am not old enough.

Have a good weekend.

Swan Planting

We practice manaakitanga with our buddy class.

Today we planted some plants to make a butterfly garden.

Week 3

Hi I'm Lalita and I'm this week leader.

This week we had our Year 3-6 athletics Day.

Our first event was discus then long jump,

shot put and high jump. We had lunch then

after lunch we did sprints. Last of all we did

relays and then there was a parents verses

Teachers relay. It was really funny beacuse

one of the parent fell over and then rolled over.

On Thursday Mrs Brunton was not at school,

she was sick and we had Mr Scott teaching us

for the day. We did some learning about rivers

with him. On Friday, my favourite day, because

we spend time with our Buddy Class. We planted

Swan plants with our Buddy Class (room 21) and

when they grow we will make a butterfly garden.

It will be really beautiful when that happens.

We are learning all about seasons and the earth

and space right now.
