Poetry Recital

Last Thursday we had our annual Poetry Recital to choose a two finalist from our class. I must say the competition was extremely high standard and it made the judging job extra harder! Having said this, well done, everyone! Here are some of the photos.

Just a minute speaker

BL shared her news about how they found an injured bird in their home and talked about what they did for the bird. BL told us that one of the bird's wing was damaged some how and they took the bird to a bird sanctuary in Whitford. Hopefully, the bird will make a full recovery and come and visit her home to thank one day!

Update on room 17's activities

We had a successful visit to the Stardome. A big thank you to all the parents helpers, we couldn't have this trip without your help.

Father's Day Breakfast at BDS

Last Friday we had our annual Fathers' Day Breakfast at BDS. There were great turn out with fathers and granddads. Here are some of the fathers and room 17 students who were able to join us!

Special Visitor

We had a special visitor Chris who was from Sustainablecoastline. We learnt... Many people drop rubbish on the road and they could go into storm drainage to the sea. We saw some birds, turtle and fish that died from eating those rubbish. We learnt that some of plastic are only used once. We watched few videos of birds, fish and whales are eating rubbish in the sea. The interesting video was about some children who picked up rubbish to make amazing art with them. The art piece showed a dolphin shape with sky all around it. We also saw thousands of rubbish in the LA river. We learnt that we should put rubbish in the bin and we should put into our lunch box until we take it home. Also we should be picking up rubbish outside when you see them..We should be using reusable shopping bag or drinking bottle instead of plastic bottles. We should never litter and we should keep on talking about it with adults.

Just Minute Speakers Week 4

CJ talked about his collection of Superheros models and cars Superheros. You collected over the years. His favourite piece was Batman, because I always play with him. He can do cartwheel punch! SK talked about her trip to Japan. She showed us her Kimono (yukata) outfit, origami arts, fish market writing and some of the fish photos, Tokyo Disneyland map, talked about the experiences there.

Just a Minute Speakers Term three Week 3

NJ talked about how many students and his best friends were from the previous primary school in Waipipi. He said he knew everyone there, because whenever there is an new student, the school always introduce him or her in assembly! What a cool way to get to know everyone in the school! Apparently it was Mr T's previous school where he was the principal there. Small world!
KH talked about his school in Korea, too. He talked about his friend's name, but he forgot his teacher's name!

Book Week and Amazing Costumes!

This week was all about Book week! We had two authors came to visit us and read their books. One of the author told us how she gets her ideas to write her stories. We had our scholastic books to our school hall, and on Friday, we had our dress up as book characters. We came up with creative ideas of how we dress up as those characters. Our class chosen character was SL who dressed up as Dorothy from 'Wizard of OZ' story. Anyone of us could be chosen as a best costume character from books!
