Jump Rope at Riverlands
On Friday we wore red for healthy hearts and jumped to raise some money for the National heart Foundation. We raised $250! Here are some classic shots of the day!
Visit to a Retirement Village
We sang and said poems. We did a play too.
The children enjoyed meeting new friends.
Some interesting discussions took place.
We made bookmarks and gave them to our new friends.
Walking to Cob Cottage
On Wednesday we walked along the new walkway again with Room 6, all the way to Cob Cottage. Cob Cottage was the first Riverlands School and we looked in the window to see what it was like. There were no pictures on the wall and the desks were very old.

The Garden, Our Special Place
Food
Fresh air.
Friendship.
Rest.
Shelter
We have been talking about what we all need to be happy and healthy. We decided some of these things can be found in a garden- food, fresh air, friendship, rest, shelter.

Big NZ Shake Out
We heard the "Sting" at 9.26 and got under our tables or made a "Turtle" in the middle of the room. When the evacuation bell rang we all went outside to the turf, which is our gathering point. Well done to all our children.

Money, Money, Money.
Vanepale Sopoaga, has just visited our school to deliver financial literacy workshops to our students. Here you can see him in action in his Super Hero mask showing us coins and notes. You will also see Jacob preparing to lift an eftpos card, which has a lot of money loaded into it. Will he be able to lift it or will it be too heavy?? We learnt that to be able to take money out of an eftpos card we have to put money into it first.
Term 3 Room 1
It is good to be back in the classroom and to get to know the children I haven't had a chance to teach yet. We have also welcomed Kyote to our class and to our school. We have lots of wonderful learning ahead of us in the next two terms.

ANZAC Ceremony 2012
Last week we had our ANZAC ceremony. I was very proud of the way the children sat and listened and joined in the singing of the National Anthem and Te Aroha. They also were able to join in with the saying of the Ode:
They shall not grow old
As we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
we will remember them.
We will remember them.
They shall not grow old
As we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
we will remember them.
We will remember them.

The Plasticene Experiment
Here is a new poem about what happened when we did our plasticene experiment. Watch out for it in the poem book, which comes home for reading each Friday.
Floating and Sinking
I flattened out my plasticine
And set it in the tank
And do you know the cheeky thing
Turned round and slowly sank.
But when I took it out again
And shaped it like a boat
It wasn’t cheeky any more
For it began to float.
(Why did this happen?)
