Pirate Day

What a great day but the weather decided to bring us showers. The fish and chips went down very well.

All our joyful pirates

Two top pirates from Room1

The pirate sandpit and rope climbing frame are here.

They look great and the students are enjoying the new equipment.

We are doing Bubbledome again.

For terms 2 and 3 we are doing programs from bubble dome in our ICT time each week. The two programs we are doing are:

Graphic Novel: Use creative tools as you write your own texts complete with illustrations in a variety of styles.  It combines 2D and 3D computer drawing.  Tips used by published writers in planning and writing stories.

 Smartphone:

Students will be exposed to the programming, scripting and designing of apps using 3D developments and programming tools.  Students then develop their own website from scratch.

We are looking forward to see what our students can produce.

Term2 for 2014

This term we are looking at communities here in New Zealand for unit. We will be first finishing our work on NZ and the World Wars.

Do not forget homework is out every Monday.This involves a worksheet and spelling words.

We are having a Room 1 trip for 3 days (June 11 to 13) which relates to our studies on communities in NZ. Students have received the information for this trip and the slips need to get back to the office
 We will be looking at gold mining in Waihi, city and rural life in NZ. 

Our New Pirate Sandpit

It has been coming for a while but our pirate ship sandpit is here. Here our workers busy in its construction.

Wheels Day

At the end of term the school has a wheels day and the PTA pust on a BBQ for the students. Everyone always looks forward to this day. It turned out to be a wet day for the wheels day but we had fun and the farmers were happy!

Story time at Waerenga School
