Room 6 Kilbirnie School 2010

Here is a picture of Grace selling flowers with her brother Elliot and friend Abby. They were selling flowers to help fundraise for the Christchurch earthquakes.

‘This was Grace’s idea and she was so determined to see it through that she and Elliot actually set up and sat at the end of our driveway for three days… they gathered the wind fallen flowers around our garden into a basket, designed and drew signage and sat, waiting for neighbours to come by so they could sell the flowers for a $1.00. We are so proud of them that we will / have donated $10.00 for every $1.00 they made. So $100 will be sent to Christchurch relief fund.” Grace’s Mum.

Fantastic work! Well done Grace your contributions towards the earthquake will surely be appreciated by the people of Christchurch!

We have been working in inquiry. our topic is surveys. we went to different classes and did surveys to there class. we needed to do this because we are going to create a classroom tool. we asked classes questions about, most helpful class tool and which class lesson do you learn the most in?

Welcome back to Term 4!  Hope you all enjoyed your holidays.  I spent the holidays over in the Wairarapa, it was nice to relax and catch up with family and friends. Over the holidays the classroom went through a new make over.  I’ve posted a few pictures of the our new walls and we plan to display more of our work as the term goes on.

I will send out a newsletter by the end of the week to update you on this terms programme.  I have started a new spelling programme this term and I will post up the newsletter that was suppose to go out today.

Hope the weather gets better this week!  That’s it for now please feel free to post up on our blog.  More will be happening so watch this space!

Take care Miss Lologa

Wow what a week it’s been!  I would like to thank all our parents who came along to the interviews. Just to let you know that our blogsite will now be controlled by the students. This will be a wonderful opportunity to showcase their ICT skills.
To Room 6 thank you for welcoming me to your class. I’ve enjoyed getting to know you all and I look forward to working with you all again in Term 4!
Be good and enjoy the weekend:)

Grandma Joy answering questions from the children.

Today Room’s 5 & 6 were treated by a special visit from Victoria’s Grandmother.  Grandma Joy talked to the children about growing up in the 1920s and 30s.  As part of our inquiry unit the children have been learning about how wellington has changed over time.  Even though Grandma Joy did not grow up in Wellington there has been lots of changes since she moved here in the 1950s.  We learned so much of how it was growing up in the past.  Thank you so much Grandma Joy for coming to see us!

Hey Room 6!  It’s Week 5 already we’re halfway through the term already.  I’ve posted up your homework sheets for the week incase you forgot or lost your sheet.  Don’t forget to put in your reading logs.  Some people have been forgetting to fill these in.

Have a great week!  I look forward to seeing more happenings on our blog!

In Week 1 and 2 of this term, Room 6 had been learning their mihi in Maori.  We can say our name, age, parents, school, river, mountain, where we’re from in Maori.  We have displayed our mihi on our front windows for everyone to see.
