D.N.I come to visit

On Thursday the 22nd of July, Mr Leach, the principle of D.N.I and some students of the school, came to us. They talked about some of the sports that they do and we found out that there are more than 14 different sports that they play.
Puti, Gemma, Eli and Mikaire were the children and they told us of the activities that also go on.
At D.N.I they do their own school news that is shown at the school assembly. Mr Leach said that it is basically why everyone comes to the assembly. There are different classes for different interests like music, drama, and sports. They showed some pictures of what they do around school and they did a couple of videos about it. These were really cool. At the end they gave out flyers for all the Year sixes to tell their families when the open night is. They left and gave us some hats that they use at D.N.I. We said thank you and they left.

Keeping Dunedin Beautiful

Keep Dunedin Beautiful.

On Monday 19th of July 2010 the whole school went to a show called Keep Dunedin Beautiful which was held in the hall. It was about how to keep Dunedin clean and tidy. At the start of the show Jo told us to think of our favourite place and then she said that when we have some spare time we could go to that place around Dunedin and pick up the rubbish that is lying around there. The show was very interesting. During the show, they went to the fish and chip shop and asked for some fish and chips but they couldn’t get fish before they had taken all the fish from the sea. They went back in time and fix that up. Next time they went to get fish and chip shop they couldn’t get chips because people they had dumped their rubbish and polluted the soil. After going back in time again and sorted this problem out. Next time they couldn’t get any tomato sauce. Once they had there fish and chips they threw the rubbish in the water so they realized that it was not healthy to throw it into the water so they cleaned the water out and put the rubbish in the rubbish bin. At the end of the show it was time to ask some questions. There was a lesson to be learnt by everyone.

Body Poems

Check out some of our poems that we have written describing what we look like. If you like some of these come into the class and read the others we have.

Basketball Tornament

What a way to end the term. Room 5 verse Room 3 at an inter class Basketball game. Before this match,we had to find the winning team to represent Room 5. Teams were formed, cheers were created and the tournament began. After many goals scored a team was found. This team versed Room 3. The referee was kept busy with the ball travelling many times back and forwards on the court. The final score was a draw. We thought that this is the start of many other tournaments that we could organise and participate in.

Emilly's Farewell

Having a shared lunch was the way our class said farewell to Emilly and the end of term being out of our classroom. There were wonderful treats to choose from especially the home baking that some of the children baked from the vegeables from our garden.

Garden

Some of us have started to look at one of the gardens in our playground. We thought that it would be good to tidy it up. Thinking of how we wanted it to look like and the plants that we are wanting to grow in it is the next step. We are looking forward to redeveloping our class vegetable garden when we return to our classroom. We were lucky to cook delicious muffins with some of the vegetables that we have grown. Mmmm! Gardening can taste wonderful.
