Random Acts of Kindess

This term our inquiry is around Random Acts of Kindness.  Our teachers have set us a goal to see how many hearts we can add to this tree to make it bloom.  On Tuesday Leigh from the Kind Hearts movement Palmerston North will be coming to speak to us about the project.  Today we started to compile a list of a few random acts of kindness we could do at school, at home and in the community - we are excited to see where this will lead us.  Watch this space to see our tree bloom. 

RIGHT CHOICE DAY

We had heaps of fun during our Right Choice Day for Term 3.  We had a 'Black Out Day' to support the All Blacks.  Some of the the games we played were pin the rugby ball on Richie McCaw, kicking the ball between the goal posts, weetbix eating competition, a rugby quiz and we posted a facebook message to Richie McCaw wishing him best of luck.  We also celebrated with a delicious shared lunch.  Our teachers are really proud of the hard work we have put into our learning this term.  Oh yeah and did we mention...RICHIE MCCAW WROTE BACK TO US!!!

A few updates

Congratulations to Jade, Shirley, Gus and Blake who all received a prize for netball and rugby prize giving.  We are proud to have such amazing role models in our class who try their hardest and get involved in sporting activities outside the classroom - well done! 

On Friday we had the last school disco for the year.  Everyone looked beautiful all dressed up and had an awesome time dancing the night away!  We sure do have some movers and groovers in the class! 

Our class was selected to be a part of the Feilding Schools Cultural festival where we got to perform a the Civic Centre in front of hundreds of people.  Our performance was based on the centenary of Anzac Day.  We were part of learning the folk dancing and battle scenes. 

WORLD CUP FEVER HAS HIT!

For buddy class this fortnight we were lucky enough to go over to the senior playground and spend some time exploring the playground.  This was exciting and it was great to challenge our bodies to stretch higher, reach further and jump higher then we thought possible.  We also had an organised game too which was lots of fun.  

Mr Linden's Library

One Saturday morning Ashley went to Mr Linden's library.  She found a book about fairies.  Mr Linden said to pay for the book so she bought it.  But Mr Linden said to her "Don't get that book."  But it was too late.  She snuggled up in bed that night and read the book, then fell asleep.  When she fell asleep the fairies came out of the book!  The flapping woke Ashley up.  She screamed with fright.  The fairies said to Ashley "Open the page, we want to get back home."

The House on Maple Street

It was 100 years ago, the start of World War 1 in the USA.  Astronomers from NASA where trying to make a rocket to find other planets with life, so they replaced a wooden house on maple street.  One week later, it had an engine and a room for the astronauts.  Two weeks later it was ready, it was time... 3,2,1 BLAST OFF!  The house rocket was off!  It was the perfect lift off!

One spooky night on the first of July, I was walking down Maple Street when I saw Doctor Mystery's house.  I saw steam as hot as lava and as white as snow coming from out of the bottom of his house.  I thought it was going to explode, I was worried.  There were rockets on the bottom of his house.  When the house was lifting off it sounded like a heard of elephants.  "Wow," I said!  It was the perfect lift off on this spooky night.
