School song

Here is my song that I wrote. I have also included a rap with mine.

(Chorus)
North East Valley is number 1
Because all the children have so much fun
Every day we learn and play
School is so much fun
YAY!

There are so many sports play
And we have fun all day
Like mini ball and net ball
Don’t forget volley ball
But best of all basket ball
Then all of a sudden the teachers call
‘School time’
(Chorus)

When you’re chasing the bees all around the trees
You’re having so much fun
When the grass is so green and the trees are so bare
You just want to run, all around our school
(Chorus)

When there’s safety around you don’t always know it
But if you are responsible, you might just show it.
When someone is in trouble it’s the teacher to the rescue
But you think it’s annoying when they really, really test you
(Chorus)

(RAP)
All the children have so much, at North East Valley Normal School; you will be a fool if you don’t love our school, because sometimes we go to the pool. There are so many subjects to learn next, like reading writing and multiplex. Having fun and running around playing with friends and never frown. Eating, drinking then skipping and having fun, hopping in the hot summers sun.
Lots of sports like soccer and more were having fun and trying to score.
(Chorus)

North East Valley Song

In our writing at school we have been writing songs. These have been about our school. Here is mine that I would like to share with you.

School starts at 9:00 and it ends at 3:00
The cute year 1’s learning their A, B, C’s.
The teachers here are very awesome
They don’t think the kids are troublesome.


North East Valley is fun
Playing in the sun 2x


North East Valley School
Learning new things everyday
People from room 5 create with clay,
ALL DAY LONG!!! Another fun thing
North East Valley is making songs to sing


North East Valley is fun
Playing in the sun 2x


North East Valley is fun
North East Valley is number 1
YEAH!!!

Sports with Logan Park High School

We have been very lucky working with students from Logan Park High School each Wednesday afternoon. Each afternoon, taken in groups, the students would teach a skill related to a sport. We got to try a lot of different sports and had great time too.

Achiever of the Week.

Cooking Our Garden

During the week the Yellow reading group went to the staffroom and got cooking. They were going to make pizza rolls using the silver beet from the class garden.

In the rolls there was silver beet,cheese,egg,flour, milk and butter.

First they had to wash their hands and then the silver beet. It was washed well and then cut up into small bits.

In a bowl they mixed the flour , butter and milk together and when it had made a dough they put it onto the bench and rolled it out. While some of the children were making the dough another group placed chopped onion,oil and silver beet into a frying pan and then cooked it.

Onto the rolled dough they placed the silver beet mixture and cheese and then rolled them up.

Finally they were placed into the oven. The smell while they were cooking smelt really nice.

Later they were taken up to the class where they were shared. Some children in the beginning said they did not like silver beet but they changed their minds when they ate our pizza rolls.

Soccer game

On Thursday, North East Valley Normal played soccer against George Street Normal School. It was a tough game at the start. In the first 5 minutes North East Valley team did some great defence and passing between each other.

The ball moved backwards and forwards from both goals. Lots of running,passing and intercepting.

Then finally Cameron G scored a great goal between all the passing the team did up and down the field.

The team defended again and got the ball back. They again scored another great goal.

Thank you to Mr Andrews who gave up his lunch time to umpire the game.

The player of the day was Connor for getting back on defence quickly.

The team is looking forward to their next match

Song Writing

We have had Mr Ramsay in working with us on creating a school song. We have had lots of ideas and we are working on writing our own. Mr Ramsay has a great tune for us and has already come up with some of the verses. In our writing in the classroom we are developing our own songs. We love sharing what we have created so far. Keep an eye out for our follow up . You might even get to hear us sing.

Achiever of the Week

Science

Our learning this term is around the science topic of weather. We had a great visit to the Otago Museum where the focus was on Wild Weather. It was exciting to make clouds,measure the wind , make rainbows and watch how lightning is made.

It was great to have so many hands on activities to help our understanding and to make the topic interesting.

We have taken some of this learning and have written some reports on weather. identifying the main sections of a report was the first step that we needed to do. Information gathering took us a while as sometimes we had to re-word our questions. Some of us then thought about how we could present our work.

You can now read some of these on our walls. Come up and have a read.

Enviro school day

Swimming

A busy way to start the term. Swimming.

It was a great block of swimming that the whole school took part in. Everyone had goals that they were working towards. Arms, legs, kicking, breathing and developing how many length they could complete.

Jill and the teachers really took us through our paces to achieve these goals. Although we were tired at the end of the week our goal s were slowly beginning achieved.

We are looking forward to the next block of swimming as we have already set the goals for those.

Back on the Blogger
