The end of Term 1 has been B.U.S.Y... Add in the beginning of Winter sport and everyone is tired!! Next week is holidays so I hope everyone has a fantastic break and slows down and prepares for the Winter term!
Here is an update from the children for the last few weeks.
In Week 8 we held our school athletics at ANZAC Park. The whole senior school - Team B - attended. We held races, high jump, shot put, long jump, discus and fun relays! Some of the children were selected for the Grey District Competitions. If they were good there, they went on to the West Coast Champs. Well done those people from our class that were successful and will be going to the Canterbury Champs!!!
Week 10 was our week for running assembly and presenting our work. We showed our mihi's, our Siapo art and our explanation writing. Miss Panther thought we were fantastic at running assembly!!!
Our challenge for the week was to learn how to prnounce the words in out mihi correctly. Our new challenge is to memorise and share it confidently.
Our art topic is called Siapo meets Killeen. These are 2 styles of art that we are exploring. To begin with we had to practice using Siapo designs in black and white and then in colour. We used these designs to make a circular pattern that represents us. The next step starts today....
Ciao Room Thirteen!!

Term 1 update!!
Well we have just begun Week 10 so we are well and truly into (and nearly out of) Term 1.
It has been a busy term so read on for an update from one of our class members Megan.
Term 1
This term our Topic has been 'All ABout Me!'. It has involved completing:
*a family tree
*a personal profile
*a timeline of our lives
*finding out the meaning of our names
*writing an acrostic poem using our names
*LOADS of artwork relating to us
Swimming sports were held in Week 3. The whole school participated and it was GREAT fun!
Week 5 involved a visit from Carmen and Harold in the Life Education Truck. We learnt about our bodies, good and bad choices and decisions and consequences of those choices.
