Our New Classroom Awaits.....

Here are some shots of our classroom so far.  All it needs now is some art work on the walls and we are ready for business.

Before we can begin learning in the new Hillary Block we have to have a special opening ceremony.  This will include the whole school, The Kapa Haka and of course Hillary Block.  We have a past pupil's grandfather coming to officiate the blessing and opening.
One thing Hillary Block has to do is sing a song.  Please take some time to learn the song without looking at the words, because there will be no words at the opening.

Keynote Presentations

What was the best part of creating a Keynote Presentation about lighthouses?

What was the most difficult thing to do?

What will you do better next time?

Remember to use the word because and to write your name!

Making a Jam Sandwich

We were learning how to follow instructions. 

We swapped books and followed our buddy's instructions. 

How did your buddy go writing their instructions. Were they clear and specific?

Lighthouses

We are learning about lighthouses - their purpose, their locations within New Zealand and some unusual ones around the world.  Here are some charcoal pictures we did.  We have also begun to create own very own lighthouse, complete with its own light!
What did you find challenging about the charcoal and the papier mache?
