Mussel Time

As part of our topic we got to look at a mussel up close. While looking at it we had to complete a worksheet that had many questions to answer all about the inside of a mussel. We got to examine the outside as well. We got to find out that the mussel has a tongue and only one foot. Weird but nice to eat.

The Art Bus

Room 5 were very lucky to be Dunedin North Intermediate School to visit the travelling Art Bus. Here a range of art pieces have been housed in a bus. Everyone loved seeing all the art work. It was great show. We were able to walk around and have a look at all the different pieces . As we looked we were able to talk,draw and get different ideas from the pieces we really liked. It was a really cool place to visit.

Cross Country

On Wednesday the 23rd of August, the year 5 and 6 children went to Balmacewen Intermediate to participate in the North Zone Cross Country. The children were all excited and ready to race. When they arrived a teacher told us about the race rules and the track that we could be racing on. The year 5 girls lined up first and then it was the boy. They were off racing their fastest. Meihana made it in the top ten and to take part in the Otago Championships. Now it was the year 6 girls and boys. BOOM. They sprinted off with Tarryn and Cameron G making the top ten and into the Otago Championships.

It was a tough track but most made it round. The winners went on to take part in the Otago Championships and the whole school wished them luck.
