Rhythm Interactive

We had a great show in our school hall called Rhythm Interactive, as you can see on the video we all had a drum each and it was an awesome hour show. We were exhausted by the end of the show.

Our Place.

We are really proud of our place! Please come and visit us to see our place.

Structures Open Night.

As part of our open night we had displays of our learning throughout the year. There was an interactive bridge kit where you could construct different bridges and plenty of photos  from our museum trip, bird study, flight investigation, plane construction, birdfeeder design and construction, bridge building and technology challenges.

Speech Success.

We all did a speech/reading from a novel of our choice which was a lot of fun. We all presented our speech in front of our class. Mrs Gardner and the class selected two Year 5's and two Year 6's to progress to the Senior Team Finals. From there, Zed and Sheon qualified for the School Finals in the Year 5 section.

Everyone was awesome!

Huge congratulations to Zed for achieving 2nd place in the School Final Speech Competition. We are all very proud of you.

Matholon

Scott & Ashwin represented our class at the recent Maths Competition that was held at the Edgar Centre. They trained hard and competed admirably. We are awaiting the official results but Mr Mulholland told us they did extremely well. Way to go boys.

Art Gallery

On Wednesday we visited the Dunedin Public Art Gallery to have an art lesson with John. We viewed a lot of artwork through the gallery with emphasis on buildings/structures. John shared many interesting facts about each piece.

After our tour we were able to do our own sketch of a local building using these amazing pencils that when you used a paint brush with a dab of water the pencil turned into paint.

Excitement having an entire bus just for us.

Book Week and PJ Day.

This week we have been reading daily to raise money as part of our school read-a-thon. We have all collected sponsorship from friends and family. The more we read, the more our sponsors donate. On Friday to celebrate the week we had the opportunity to wear our PJ's.
