Working together

Team work and the skills that you need have been some of the learning that we have been finding out about.  This was important too when we were choosing people who were going to be a peer mediator.

We have found different ways to practice drawing ourselves.  It has been fun using different styles and materials to show this .  Others have also enjoyed looking at the different ways we have presented ourselves on our classroom walls.

2015 a new year

It's the start of a new school year at North East Valley Normal.  We have all returned with busy minds, ready to discover new things.  There has been a few changes in the school with two new teachers and the re-naming of classes.  We are now Room S4.  We are busy finding out about each other and we are beginning our learning about the beach environment here in Otago.     Keep an eye out on our posts to see what we have been up too.

My dog Sika

I was lucky to bring my dog, Sika to school.  She is a special dog that my family and I have taught new tricks.  Even at home she has begun to teach herself tricks and we will often get home to doors that have been opened.

Satine's truck comes to school

As part of my homework my dad brought his truck to school.  We looked at all the things that he had done to his truck.  I shared all the things I knnew about the truck and dad helped me.  It was fun explaining the different parts and then being able to see how many children we could get on the back.  I enjoyed this topic challenge.

Tayla and her friends PAVLOVA

For Tayla's homework she got her own choice, She thought for a while and an idea popped into her head. "Lets do a pavlova",she thought. She got her grandad to help her make a pavlova. He loves to make pavlova. So on Wednesday she got all of her ingredients and she started to make the pavlova. She made the pavlova mix and spreed it on a baking tray and cooked it for one hour. On Thursday she brought it to school and her reading group (the purple group) whipped the cream,cut up some fruit, place the fruit onto the Pavlova and finally add lots of sprinkles. Before they finished they took more photos.

Plastic plates and spoons were ready and Tayla cut her magnificent Pavlova. Time for sharing.  Lots of smiles and thank you were heard as Tayla shared out her Pavlova. Everyone loved the pavlova!
