Year Four Camp

Well we all had a fantastic time last week at Year Four Camp at Cooper's Beach. We stayed at the Cooper's Beach Christian Camp. The weather was stunning and we did lots of fun activities. We visited the rock pools and checked out all the creatures living there. We challenged ourselves on the confidence course and sped down the waterslide, slipping ans sliding everywhere. Mrs Craig even gave it a go! We also went fishing off Whangaroa Wharf. Jessica, Stella and Arlo caught keepers, Matilda caught some bait and all the others were too small so we had to throw them back. Congratulations to Arlo who caught the first fish but threw it back to keep Tangaroa happy. Thanks to all the parent helpers who helped to look after us. We all had a blast!
Here are a few photos of us at the Rock Pools.  We will post some more photos later.
 

An Action Packed Week

Last week we had a very busy week with lots of exciting things happening. Gina from Project Energise came and taught us how to do long jump and high jump. There are some very good jumpers in Room 9. We had our first lesson on water safety using life jackets and learning techniques on how to float. Then to top the week off we had Kids Can Cook Kitchen with Chef Chris Fortune. Check out the video of our time with Chris. We made French crepes and filled them with silverbeet and apple.

Video Star

Today a small group were lucky to be chosen to work with Mrs Stevenson's daughter to create a video star.  Here is the video they have created.  We have viewed and critiqued it, in hope to improve it on Thursday.

First week of Term 4

We all had an amazing first week back for Term 4.  We had our annual visit from Harold with Life Education.  He taught us about the systems in our body.  We also learnt how to read food labels and how much Fat, Sugar and Salt we should be eating. We also had Gina from Project Energise.  This term we are focusing on Run, Jump and Throw.  Duffy also presented an amazing show to us about the importance of Reading.  The week was topped off by our Greats and Grands Day.  We all had a wonderful time with our grandparents.

Our Assembly

On Friday it was our assembly.  We took the school on a plane trip around the world, stopping of at different countries in each continent.  The children selected a country and created a presentation and a virtual field trip using we-video about their country.  Here are some pictures of our assembly.

                            

                            

Cross Country

Room 9 had a very successful day at the annual Cross Country held at our School on Wednesday.  Before the Cross Country they all set themselves a goal and most of them achieved their goal.  We had lots of placings too.
Here are a few photos from the day.
