Junior Team Mini Olympics

What fun we had today at the Junior Team Mini Olympics organised and run by our college teachers. There was noodle throwing, cotton ball shotput, long jump, balloon volleyball and fun relays. The college teachers were encouraging team work, fairplay, honesty, sportsmanship, being active and being positive. The afternoon started with an olympic torch ceremony and then the games began. Kindle 2 were the yellow team. The children chose either a yellow sash or a headband to show which team they were in....

Old Photos of the Junior Block

Look at these old photos of our school..... can you spot the differences between then and now

School Cross Country

Here we are warming up and getting ready to run in the 2016 George Street Normal Cross Country Race.....

It was a big day by the time we walked down to the Alhambra rugby ground with a buddy from a senior class, raced around the track once and then walked back to school! Fun though! What amazing weather we had for the day!

Playing with our buddy class

On Thursday we went to visit Room 9, our buddy class. They took us over to the new climbing frame in their playground. They helped and encouraged us to use the new equipment safely. Thanks Mrs Wood and Room 9.

Sewing with our buddy class

Today our buddy class came to visit. They helped us to sew the pictures we are making for our compassion cards. It is quite tricky to keep the wool on the tapestry needle  and to stop the wool from getting tangled.....

Thanks Room 9 and Mrs Wood, we appreciate your help. When the cards are finished we are going to take them to the children's ward at Dunedin Public Hospital, so the nurses can give them to children who are not feeling very well. 

Maths Fun

We have been talking about volume in our Friday maths time - how much space a shape takes up. For Maths last Friday the children made towers with blocks.  Thomas H suggested we call them friendship towers because they were made with a partner. Good thinking Thomas! The tower that used the most blocks would have the biggest volume. We thought the tallest tower would have the biggest volume of blocks, but there was a shorter tower that used more blocks..... Lots of great learning going on here.
