Fun Day

Today we had a great fun day. There were lots of fun things to do.

Learning Survey

We have been thinking about the things that we liked doing during the year.  We liked learning the following things:

Next year we are going to:

do more maths
brain storms

The children reflected well on their learning.

2011

Next year in 2011 we will have a new class in Room 6. We visited Room 6 on Friday 10 December. We are feeling excited about what we are going to be learning.

Fair

We are making signs for the school fair. We have to make  them bright and make sure the spelling is correct.  Our stall is the Sandpit Treasure Hunt.

Winning Letter in "The Press"

It is so exciting, we "won" the winning letter in "The  Press". We are sad though that we "won" through the sadness of others. Our teacher put it in a week ago.  She looked every day and then thought "Oh, well, they are not going to print it." Then on Friday, there it was.  She is so proud of us all.  She wanted to text all her friends at 5am in the morning, when she read it but had to wait until they were out of bed.

It was so nice to have it printed the day after the very sad day when the service was held for the miners.  We all had two minutes silence to remember them.  This is the page it was on and you can see the cartoon on one of our other Pike River Coal Mine blogs.
