Week 6

Welcome to week 6.

Not many notices this week….

·         Alice Holland will be in our Room on Friday teaching.

·         Remember there is a teacher only day next Monday- this means there will be no school that day.

·         We have had a few issues in Room Kea with children bringing unsuitable dangerous household items to school. Pleas make sure your matches, knifes etc. are stored away somewhere safe and DON’T make it into your child’s school bag.

·         Library on Friday.

·         Please make sure your child is getting plenty of sleep. This is very important for your child’s learning and development.

Have a great week,

Abby de Groot 

Ryans Volcano story

I went to the volcano in Auckland.

"It didn't wake up. I recorded it on my leap pad recorder. I saw it on t.v"

Cohen's water cycle story

The water cycle goes round and round.

"The water cycle can make loud noises from the sky"

Nevaeh's cloud story

The clouds are getting heavier.

"They have lots of rain in them and the vapour is going up and up."

Jesse's water cycle story

The water cycle went round and round.

"This is about the water cycle going round and round, and the man went in the garbage bin."

See the garbage can, it's like my home.

How do we attract native birds to Edendale School...UPDATE

 INQUIRY TERM 2

UPDATE... 

Last term our enquiry topic was - How can we attract more native birds to Edendale School.

After a lots of research and by working through the technology process we decided that a bird table close to trees and away from children and the road would be the best idea to solve our problem. 

Miss de Groot's Dad, Rob, built us a bird table and Gabby's Dad, Mr Shepherd put it in the ground.

I am pleased to say that it was a success!!! The children are great at remembering to put out fresh bird seed, fruit and sometimes fat (ewww) Steve our resident Rooster is quite the fan also!!!

We have so many birds visiting. From black birds and sparrows, to wax eyes, starlings and the odd cheeky seagull. Looking out my window now I can see 5 wax eyes. 

We are looking forward to see what other birds come along.

Thank you to everyone who helped with that inquiry.

 SNOW DAY!

Everyone loves a snow day! It was so nice to sleep in until 10am.

Some of us got so excited we forgot to put our shoes on. Brrrrrrrrrr chilly feet!

 SOUTHLAND STAGS COME TO SCHOOL!!!!

What a cool week we have had! We were lucky enough to get 'Stevo' the Stag and three players to come along to talk to us about what motivates them as players.

The senior children had a range of interesting questions to ask the guys. The wee ones were mesmerized by Stevo as he danced and they chanted "Stevo! Stevo! Stevo!" 

 

                                         WELCOME BACK!!! 
Room Kea has been busy deep in the forest working hard to be the best that they can be but we are back with lots of exciting new things to show you!!!!
