Choosing Our Next Topic To Learn About

Today we got given 3 hexagons. We had to write down 3 different topics that we would like to learn about. After we wrote them down we got into a big circle and shared our ideas. We put the topics into groups matched together.  the 2 other "Homerooms" have also done the activity. We will find out the top scoring topic ideas next week and see what we will be learning about in Term 3.

More Morning tea

This week In Writing we were learning about persuasive writing. I found it hard to find strong words to put in my writing. I found it easy for find what topic I was going to write about. This Topic I chose was easy to write about.

Did you know that when children have a longer morning tea they get their work done faster? I believe that if we have 5 more minutes of morning tea. The children will get their work done fast and then be able to blog their work.

I believe that if you let us have a longer morning tea, we will exercise more and we will want to get our work done faster. As we will run around a lot more we will also learn better because we would have gotten rid of  most of the energy and we will be calm.

With a longer morning tea we get a larger brain break from all the work. We will also have a some time to go to the toilet and get a drink. With more time for eating  we will also get longer to play on the playground or in the hall if there is basketball.

Please keep in mind that if we have a longer morning tea we will get our work done faster. We will also have a better time to get our work blogged faster.

Spencer Park

On the 10th of March 2017 the year 4,5 and 6  Learning Community went to the amazing Spencer Park with some parents.  We went there to bond and get to know each other better.

When we got there we had morning tea under the big tree . Mrs Dinnington put out the blue tarp because the grass was wet. After we ate we had a wee play on the playground.  It had three flying foxes you sit on. Layla and I found a secret meeting spot at  the bridge that we had found.

After that we went to the amazing beach that had nice blue water. We were not allowed to swim because is was not safe. What a bummer! We made some towers  and unfortunately my team did not win but congratulations for the team that won. Then it was beach races.

Soon it was time to have lunch.  We put out the blue tarp again and ate till the teachers told us it was time to play. We were allowed to play sports or play on the playground First I played a small passing game with Layla then we went off and played. I went on the longest and biggest flying fox there. Then after I finished I went and played volleyball with Mrs McGuinniety and Logan.

Soon it  was time to go back to school and then home. I wish I could go back there again with my family and friends because it was a spectacular day there at Spencer Park. - By Lily

     

Spencer Park Recount

We were learning how to write a recount and put our ideas into paragraphs. - Layla

On fun Friday the 10th of March we went on a spectacular school trip. We went to Spencer Park. It was only the year 4-6 and we went there to get to know each other better.

When we got there we had our morning tea under the trees.The grass was wet from the dew so we crouched or sat on the blue tarpaulin. I had peppermint wheelys and a bar for my morning tea.

After morning tea we went to the playground. I was playing with Lily H and we were judging the playground. Our favourite place was the wooden bridge and we liked jumping on it because it made it harder to stand on and I like it when it's challenging. I also saw my friends Tisharn and Teneesha from my softball team.

The sports leaders had to take the sports equipment back to Mrs Dinnington's car before we moved on. The next activity was going to the beach. The two activities were creating tall towers and racing on Mrs MG's race track. In my group were Callum, Nici and both of the Logans.

When we got back to the park area we all had lunch. I was very hungry after coming back from the beach with all that hard work. I ate my yummy peanut butter sandwiches and my chips and my apple.

I enjoyed going to Spencer Park because I love the waves at the beach and I loved playing with Lily, Tisharn and Teneesha.                 By Layla
