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.

Our class has grown bigger  and now we have 24 children. We are going to be learning a lot about a special place in our playground- the school garden. So today we went there for a class photo. It was lovely sitting under the big trees out of the sun. Isn't it great that everyone has a sunhat?

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 for Africa

Our balloon people sold out quickly.

Look at our $80!

We sold conkers too.

 The Opawa Room was a busy place.

All Our Products.

Piggy Banks on Tour.

Did you see the photos of our piggies taking a look around Riverlands School? Here are a few of them for you to look at. 

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.
