Don Neale came to visit

On Monday Mr Neale came to visit Room 2. He showed us about the marine life on the West Coast. He used the whiteboard to show us lots of photos. Don talked to us about how to look after the sea and the beach and everything that lives in it. He also showed us a dolphin skull. After that we went outside and measured how long a blue whale is (30m).

Make a comment below and tell us at least one thing you learnt from Don's presentation.

Social Justice Week

This week is about Creating inclusive and connected communities. We will be reading the story of the good samaritan and talking about being a good neighbour.

We will talk about what it is like to be new to the town and how we can make these people feel welcome.

Games

You looked like you were having heaps of fun with Miss Lyell playing games. I really like the one where you had to keep quiet. I didn't do very well at that did I?

Who is going to help Izzy and Shari to the hospital?

Quin defending the cone. Will Cam get it?

World Literacy Day

What did you dress up as?

I wonder what other schools around the world did?

Pia's Earthquake Story

On Friday there was a earthquake. Mummy was shouting 'Earthquake'! It was Papa's first earthquake.
The day after Mum, Dad, Papa, Nana and Else were shaking because they were scared. In Christchurch it was a catastrophe. Lucky our chickens were alright. Cars were squashed, houses fell down. There was lots of damage. Even Hamish's bed rocked and rolled. Mum was so scared she screeched . Hamish's bed must have fun jumping about. I don't think Hamish thought it was fun lying on an excited bed. I just lie down on my bed and fall asleep.

Earthquake Experiment

What we do when there is an earthquake at school.

STOP, DROP go under a desk and HOLD onto it.

until Mrs Schroder says it is safe to go out to the field and line up to call the roll.

If you are outside stay outside. Move away from windows, trees into an open area.

Earthquake

Lots of you were telling me at mass that you felt the earthquake early this morning. I felt it but my daughter Kodi slept right through it. Do you know what causes an earthquake? How did you feel?
 Leave a comment below and we will talk about it next week at school.
