Monday 22nd November 2010

Today was a bright sunny day. In the morning we did Wellington run which means that we run around the block for ten minutes as fast as we can. After that we did maths like 200 X 260 it was really fun. Then we did reading activities then at ten fifty we had lunch. During break we were playing mini rugby with the little kids but it was just for fun. Now were doing stars of the day and then were going to the hall to practice our Christmas Concert item.

Ino Lee and Caleb - Here is one of the little friends that came to visit us - the whole school are trying to find good names for them!

Ayush says:  "The best part of the day was writing our own self report"  Boran disagrees he thinks that the best part of the day was seeing Sammi back after a long time away!!!  She is all good now!

Lunchtime - Boran went to the library and read some books while Ayush was playing soccer with Salesh, Tua, Ravikash, Gill and Hugo.  Ravikash says that heaps of people got hurt but it wasnt him it was the ball!  Ayush thinks it was because everyone was doing handball - oh dear!  He was happy though because his team won!

Daily Reflection

Today was so Awesome! On 1st break, i was playing in the playground on the computers in the library with Michelle.S but Nikita didnt came with us because i think she thought we were in the plaground.  On 2nd break i  was playing  with Nikita and Michelle but Michelle didnt play with us long because she went in the library. Nikita was playing with me the whole time and it was really FUN! We were climbing up monkey-bars and swinged down. Then in the afternoon we were finishing our Imaginary Creature we made up but i think my creatures name doesnt really suit it. :(

Thats me with my double bass

Hi my name is Dimitris. My day was awesome. Today we were visited by a police officer called Constable Owen who talked about keeping ourselves safe. We all got a lolly from him. DELICIOUS. Some of the people in D5 played a game of interclass netball. Our shooters scored with a whopping 2 points while the other class got 1 goal. It was so fun today but tommorow will be sad because our brilliant student teacher M.r cowan will be going back to university. We'll all miss him. We ended with our reflection: Something new we learnt. There were more time for more games so we begged our teacher and played. Thanks for reading about my tremendous day.

Good bye
From Dimitris
P.S Hope to see some comments :D

My week has been great because I was away on Friday so I had of work to do. I finished all of  my work and I had to work really hard to keep up with my class mates but I was a bit sad because every Friday in my class we get lollipops if we did all of our homework but I was at Orchestra - I hope Ms Nola remembers to give me mine!!!  So my week has been really great

Darshna

Friday 6th August

Today was a good day in D5 we did some art that was a bit like Hundtertwasser.  Hundtertwasser was an artist who use to live in New Zealand for a while, he made the Kawa Kawa toilets.  He didnt like straight lines but he liked using curly line and lots of colour.  Today we were just doing our backgrounds in pastel I did some koru's and rainbows.  I had a good day today because I enjoyed my game of ball tiggy, I am fast and can get away from the taggers.

Have a good weekend

Ravikash

Thats me looking at Arama - I was singing, honest!

Thursday 5th August

We havent written in  a few days because Ms Nola has been sick but she is back now better than ever - we think!
Today we had a special guest  teacher Ms Saleupolu she spent the morning with us and took us for maths and fitness.  She is a good teacher and helped us alot.
Today I played tiggy with Arama, Jarod, Jayden and Elijah it wasnt great because some people were not playing fair and too many people ended up playing.  I really liked reading with Ms Saleupolu because we got to draw some pictures and answer some questions from the story we read.

Have a good evening

Monday 2nd August 2010

Today is Monday and it has been a busy day.  Today we have read, written and performed many mathematical tasks.  The best part of my day was first break because me and my friends were playing ball tiggy, for this game we use the soft rugby ball with a small number of players - 4-6 any more is too many people.  In our school we have a planted area that is a good spot for hiding from other players.  There is also a classroom area that can block off the person that is in.  Overall Champ for ball tiggy today was Tavite as he got tagged the least.

 I am off home now so hasta manana Chicos!

Have a good weekend

Jarod and Gretchen  (D5 Students)

O for Awesome Origami!

As part of our study on Asia we had a go at the traditional Japanese art of Origami.  


Fact - Origami (折り紙?, from ori meaning "folding", and kami meaning "paper") is the traditional Japanese folk art of paper folding, which started in the 17th century AD and was popularized in the mid-1900s

It was an intense process that involved alot of folding, questioning and frustration but we got there in the end!!!
