Packard Museum Trip

Today we went to the Packard Museum in Maungatapere to look at how transportation may have changed over time and what innovations have occurred. It was a fascinating place and we saw and learnt a lot about innovation, why it occurred and the effect it had on life of that time.

The ANZACS

We watched some short video clips of the ANZACS, researched information about the ANZAC campaign, read some stories based around war and wrote a poem about being at war. Here are a few examples.

Catholic Schools Day

On Monday it was Catholic Schools Day. We had a Mass in the morning we started our angel art after play. After lunch our whanau went out for tabloid sports which some of our Room 10 children organised. All the children received a yummy lemonade ice block at the end of the day.

Mothers Day

We made these cute little Mothers Day cards for our mums. We would like to wish all our mums a Happy Mothers Day this Sunday.

Hockey With Brad

We have started hockey lessons with Brad from Northland Hockey. We will have three lessons this term. Brad taught us skills of hitting, trapping and passing. We always enjoy these lessons and some of our children are showing how talented they are at hockey.

Innovation Immersion

Our concept this term is Innovation. For our immersion activity, Mr Werder organised a 1963  Morris Minor for the children to look at and a fully electric car from the Northern Regional Council. Mrs Holt was here to tell the children all about the technology of an electric car.

Innovation

Our Term 2 concept is Innovation. We are learning that….

Still Life Art work

We created still life art inspired by Paul Cēzanne. We looked at shape and form, light and dark, blending and layering the chalk pastels.

Kia Aroha- To Love

Our school motto is "To Love To Learn To Serve" In Term 1 our focus is "To Love"
We talked about ways which we can show this in our school, and linked this to the Mary MacKillop values and the gospel values. We created artwork inspired by Jim Dine. He uses mixed media, crepe paper bled with water, paint and black chalk pastel.

ANZAC Liturgy

We held an ANZAC liturgy on the last day of Term 1. It was a very moving liturgy where we remembered and honoured those people who died for our country.
