On Friday we stopped as a school to stand in silence for 2 minutes as a mark of respect for the 50 people who died in the terrible church shootings in Christchurch last Friday. It made us think that everybody is important and we all belong to the family of God.
On Friday we had a Live Simply Day to raise money for the good work of Caritas and the children went without packaged treats and just ate simple food like a sandwich and fruit instead of all the choices they usually have. We did this so we could think about children in other countries who never get treats and have very little to eat. Well done Room Four.
Max showed us how to make a 3D triangle and a square based pyramid using marshmellows and skewers. It fitted in really well with our maths topic at the moment which is looking at different geometry shapes.
Ashley brought her lovely big pet white rabbit in to class visit us for her special news on Friday. Floof was well behaved and was so soft to touch. Thank you Ashley.
Leila showed us her singing trophy and told us what she likes about singing. She sang one of her favourite Ed Sheeran songs for us. Well done Leila.
Addison and Hugo have had a great year with the Taieri Athletics Club and worked hard to develop their skills and get in the top 3 placements in many of their events. Addison also won a trophy. Well done the two of you.
With the weather being so gorgeous lately we have been catching up with our Room 6 buddies and enjoying playing multisport games. We run onto the court as a group of 4 or 6 or whatever number is called out and once we start running on to the court Mrs Matheson rolls out a rugby ball or a soccer ball or a netball or a basketball and we play to the rules of that particular game. It is lots of fun and exercise.
