Writing

During term 2 we have been looking at the weather. We learnt about many types of clouds such as nimbus, cumulus, stratus and cirrus. We learnt a song to help us remember what type of cloud we saw. This day we raced outside to check out the fog and here is some independent writing from our experience.



Fog
By Ella
I see crystals on the naked trees
I hear wind blowing the fog away
I smell strong steam blowing up my nose
I feel the clouds falling on my nose
I taste tiny crystals forming on my tongue

Fog 
by Tony
I see blurry cars faraway
I hear Christopher in the fog
It looks like I am in the sea but it's not blue

Fog
by Eileen
I hear trees rustling along the tips of classes
I see the misty leaves rustling along the side-walk in the fog
I feel little snowflakes fluttering onto my skin
I smell smoky and misty factory smoke
I taste long snowy crystals through the surrounding clouds

Fog
by Christopher
I see blurry buildings
I hear the trees blowing

Fog
by Eddie
I see a blurry white car
I hear the wind howling
It smells like lemon

Fog 
by Cindy
I see the fog covering the green grass
I heard the trees blowing sideways, one by one

Fog
by Analiese
I see big trees that look like monsters on the misty field
I feel fog surrounding me when the cold breeze blows
I hear the trees rustling in the cold breeze

Fog
by Ruby

I see a dragon in the thick, fat fog
I smell a patch of burning smoke
I hear misty wind swaying above me
I feel tiny water droplets

Fog 
by Angelina
I see snowy fog clouds that looks like a big, long ghost
I feel smoke and it tastes like frost

Fog
by
Bella
I see the gloomy trees in the misty, light fog
I hear little droplets dropping down to the squeaky and muddy ground
I feel wind swishing into me with delight






Matariki


During Matariki we discovered that making kites is part of Matariki... so we made kites. We worked with our buddy class in Room 1.






Measurement

As part of measurement we worked with Room 9 and partook in the Marshmallow Challenge.
Part of this challenge was working together and collaborating to come up with a plan and then create the tallest freestanding structure we could that would hold the marshmallow on top.


We discovered this was a lot harder than expected!





























Run a K Event

Below are photos from our fundraising event for KidsCan. The children really enjoyed the event and as a school were able to GIVE BACK and raise money for equipment and KidsCan
