So busy ......

Sorry.... a little slack on the blogging at the moment.  So much is happening its hard to find time.  For me (Miss Olliff) anyway, Room 1 learners have still been updating their's so check them out & leave a comment.

Camps
Last week our Y6s enjoyed a great 4 days camping at Okains Bay and next week Year 5's are heading to Ngati Moki Marae.  So much learning goes on at these camps it is amazing!

New Teacher
I am lucky enough to be joined by Miss Golder from the University of Canterbury for 5 weeks this term.  Miss Golder is in charge at the moment and is already an absolutely brilliant teacher.  She is helping learners understand time, energy, information reports and some fun new PE.

Who's been published?
Wow we have been busy.  Emily, Madisyn and Olivia were published in this weeks school newsletter - check it out here.  Sophie F and Leo have written for the local paper which should be published shortly.  Many of our Blue & Green Literacy group learners have written exciting book reports that will be published to the library website and on the walls in the library.  Absolutely Brilliant Writing team!  I am very proud!

Pheww - what a exciting and busy last 3 weeks. Please remind me to post more often!

Check out some photos from Okains Bay Camp

  2. Love all the work that Room 1 is doing facilitated by the amazing teaching of Miss Olliff and Miss Golder.
    Update regarding journalists Sophie and Leo - Their article will be in the Star or NorthWest News next week. They don't usually have other writers than their own, so the writing must have impressed the editor!

    1. Wow! I can't wait to see our article published! Me and Leo's writing must have been really good if they don't usually have other writers other than their own.

  5. Hi room 1 it's Gyle
    Great pictures you have posted on there you got a great angle on the people
    And you were really descriptive on the blog.
    Did you know that if you go into the cave on the other side then you will be able to see Aquatic plants.
    The lagoon reminded me of a beach me and my family went to once.
    Have you ever tried following the river to see if it leads you to a water fall?

    1. Hi Gyle
      Thanks, i love the picture slideshow. It's made using "slide my pics", i wonder if it works on iPad too that way you could make one for your blog. No i did not know that about the cave, maybe i will go in there next year (if the water is not too cold). I havn't followed the river but Mr Buckner may have. What an awesome blog comment Gyle, well done :)
      Miss O
