Stepping Out with Constable Taina

Constable Taina came and taught us how to cross the road safely.
We learnt a lot and we have become very good at crossing the road safely, even Constable Taina said so!

We need to make sure our feet our behind the kerb.

We need to look left and right and left and right and listen for cars before we cross the road.

We don't cross the road until the cars stop for us

We look left and right as we cross the road

We look down sneaky driveways

Pow Words

We are learning to use Pow Words in our writing. Pow words make our writing more interesting. Today we wrote about storms because our big book is about a storm.  Here is some of our work.

The storm is wet. The storm is scary. I don't like the storm. I wasn't too scared because I had my teddy bear. - Jeremy


The storm is frightening. The storm is blue. I see a storm and the storm is cool. The storm is wet and the storm is hot. I hear the storm. - Moana

I heard the storm. The storm is cool because it's scary and the storm was scary. Boooom! THe thunder is scary. - Talyn


The storm is dark. I see a storm and I see a big bright storm. - Opeti

Kiwisport Term 3 - Hockey

We have been really lucky this term and we got to do two different Kiwisports - Snag Golf and Hockey!

We have really enjoyed learning about hockey and we have gotten very good at holding our sticks and keeping them on the ground. We don't lift them up because we might hurt someone.

Life Education

Harold and the Life Education Van came to teach us about things that keep us healthy. We learnt about giving compliments, things that our body needs like air, food, water, why we need to brush our teeth, why we need to wear helmets when we ride our bikes or scooters and more

Thank you Harold and Nicole!

Kiwisport Term 3 - Snag Golf

This term, one of our Kiwisports that we are doing is Snag Golf.

We have learnt how to hold our golf club, how to stand and how to hit the ball.

"Hands together, feet together, tick-tock like a clock"

We are having lots of fun!

Fire Safety

Our inquiry this term is Safety and on Friday we had fire fighters and a fire truck come to visit! We know what to do if there is a fire: Get down, get low, get out and stay out!!!

The firefighters showed us all their cool equipment.

Then we got to go in the fire truck!

If there is a fire we know to go to the meeting place and call 111

Bark Presentation

Last Friday, We learnt about Dog Safety. We learnt how to meet a dog and how to stay safe around dogs. Our favourite rhyme was "If a dog is free, stand like a tree." We got to play a game, which was a lot of fun. Our favourite part was getting to meet the dog at the end.

Cook Island Lanuage week

Last Week was Cook Island Language week. For our school assembly on Thursday 4 August, Room 2 and Room 3 performed a Cook Island dance to celebrate their culture. We practiced hard and we had a lot of fun learning and performing our dance. We would like to thank Miss Mariana for teaching room 2 and room 3 our dance.

Tuakana/Teina Day

In Room 2, with the help from our buddy class, we made Olympic medals, to support the up coming Olympics.
    

Also, we had a newspaper challenge. We got into groups and had to make a costume out of newspaper. The model had to be able to walk in the outfit without it breaking. The groups that won were Pauliasi and Jorjah, who both received prizes. We had a lot of fun today and would like to thank our Buddy class for helping us.
