At the Party (By: Whaiora)

A boy came to the door and he was not invited to our party. There were lot of people and kids. The kids were playing around the house when the people came. Everybody helped to make the house beautiful and the kids were playing in the room on the computer. The weather was sunny, nice and beautiful. It was Michael bestest day of his wholed life and the kids had a happy day of there life too. Micheal is 20 years old. He likes to play on psp, games and playing our side . Jake is 18 years old. He likes to play psp too. A boy came to the door and that boy was not invited to the party. The boy was told to go away and find another party to go to. Then the boy left. The lesson learnt to never to tell the boy to get away and but just let the boy to join in the party. BY: Whaiora

How we made Roti in class?

On Monday we learnt how to make Roti in class. Below is Popplet (planning) done by Riza-Dee. He is going to use these information to do his Procedural Writing. 

This is another Popplet done by Whaiora. The interesting thing about his Popplet (planning) is that he was away when we made the roti but he was so keen to Plan using Popplet so he went around asking few of his friends/ teacher and most importantly he looked at the photos in the ipad. So below is his Popplet:

Travel Wise Week (19/5 - 26/5, 2014)

This is our Travel Wise Week.

The theme of the week in 2014 is 'Tune in to road safety'. We're all human: we daydream, get side-tracked, run late and make mistakes. But on roads, distractions can be fatal. When using roads, we all need to tune in to road safety and give it our full attention - particularly if we're at the wheel, but also when we're cycling, walking, skating, running, you name it - to keep ourselves and others safe.

We're asking everyone to pledge to tune in to road safety - that means promising to do your best to keep focused on the task at hand, and never putting yourself and others in danger for the sake of a call, text or other activity that can wait.

During the Week we'll be appealing to drivers to turn off their phones, and to everyone to help protect themselves and others by not speaking on the phone to someone who's driving, and when out on foot or bicycle getting off the phone, taking out headphones and taking care to stay focused on the task at hand.

Our Guided Inquiry Presentation

On Wednesday was our presentation for the Guided Inquiry Learning. That is whatever we learnt in Term 1 we had to come up with few questions to work in Term 2 by researching and presenting it to parents and other junior classes as they rotated among different classes.

It was quite interesting as apart from gaining confidence we learnt a lot from different classes presentation. Most importantly we learnt in which areas we need to work harder and get better at.

Our questions were as follows:

Images from the Boat groups presentation........

Images from the Helicopter groups presentation.......

Followed by images from the Chairlift groups presentation......

Rotation = Parents, teachers and kids joining in at different times.....
