We like our friends

We like our friends because they do these things. Who do you think these friends are?

Farewells

We farewelled both Harry and Skye.  Skye said that she will miss the teachers and her friends here at Freeville School.  She liked reading the most at school, and she is a really good reader.  She will miss her friends the most. 

Harry said that he liked the big field at school and the court.  He said that he will also miss his friends. 

We wish both of you every success and hope you remember to be Freeville Flyers even though you are not still at Freeville School We know that you will still be Caring, Communicate, Critical Thinkers, Adaptable, Motivated and Globalists. We wish your families well and hope you will be happy where you have moved too.

Discovery Time Mentos and Coke

We had lots of fun doing this experiment.

Discovery

We discovered that when you put an acid such as vinegar with baking soda a chemical reaction takes place. Carbon dioxide is produced.

The Dance

Meg and Niamh and Sky and Tasman and Lizzy did a dance.

We practiced for two weeks and it was a little bit embarrassing doing it in front of the class.  It took ages to sort out the clothes. Me and Niamh did it first and we were looking for people to do it with us.

Worry Dolls

I made a worry doll to tell it all my worries at night. Last night I told it four worries and my worry doll looked after my worries. My worry doll's skin is green and its clothes are brown. Meg

I made a worry doll out of a pipe cleaner and four little beads and one big bead.  I put clothes on it with wool.  It was tricky to make. I told it my worries last night and then I put it under my pillow and it looked after my worries.  Abby

I made a worry doll.  It gets rid of your worries and I put it under my pillow and all my worries were gone.  Jaxon.

I made a worry doll.  I made a clown, a rock and a super hero.  I like making the worry dolls at home.  Last night I put it next to my soft toy dolls.  I told it my worries and it didn't remember them in the morning. Calum

Fun Day at School

Parachuting

Chocolate Cake

We really enjoyed Grandma Barabra's chocolate that Meg and Niamh helped make.

Xcellent Learners

We have been using 6 Thinking Hats to help us know how we can be xcellent learners.

Kia Ora. Welcome to Room 6 and the new learning year. We have got lots of exciting things planned.  We are going to be learning about being an xcellent learner.  This includes how we can motivate ourselves, be resourcesful, be resilient, relate well to others and express our ideas, needs, wants and feelings appropriately. We will be doing this through art, mind maps, talking and learning. 

I hope that you have all had a really good holiday. You might like to add something to our blog about what you have been doing.
