Clay Road Signs

We made our road signs using clay today.

It was very enjoyable and we didn't even make the classroom too messy!

Swimming Fun

Chameleon Calendar Art

We made fantastic chameleons for our calendar art.

They are colourful and crazy.  The background is black because Madagascan chameleons give off a glow at night time!

They are some of the best pieces of art work we have ever made!

They will be for sale as calendars, diaries and greeting cards.  More details to come.

You can also view the art in our classroom.

Best Whizzing Wheels Day ever.

On Thursday the 6^th September Syndicate Three had a Whizzing Wheels Day. It was at Waiuku Primary and the skateboard park.

First we got our wheels and went to the court by the senior playground. Then we got into our groups and went to our first activity. The first activity was riding in shapes with Mrs McKay and it was fun.

Next we went to Caleb’s Mum and Dad. We did relays and races. First we did a fast relay race and then another fast relay race. It was only my group and another one. Then we had a slow race that turned out to be a fast one. My group won and then it was girls and then a mixed team.

Finally we went our last activity with Mrs Pearce and we were swerving around cones and then going straight ahead.

After that we rode up top with our bikes and it was really hard. Then we had to put our wheels away

It was the best afternoon ever!

Wheels Day

On Thursday the 6^th of September Waiuku Primary’s Syndicate Three had a wheels day; almost every child in Syndicate Three participated in this event.

The teachers of Syndicate Three had a sequenced timetable, first of which they split the children into groups; three groups for bikes because 60 children came on bikes, one group for scooters and another group for children who came with skateboards.

The skateboarders set off to the skateboard park then the bikers departed from the kids with scooters and headed for the field.

The first activity the bikers did… well it depends which group as for there were three groups each doing a range of activities

The first group of bikers had to ride in a certain shape or form of the teacher’s choice. 

The second group practiced their steering by swerving around cones and at the same time racing with their opponent.

The last group had a relay race where the children practiced how to park properly.

Eventually the children reluctantly biked up the hill. This event had a great outcome to the K4S topic participating and contributing.

Whizzing Wheels Day

 

On Thursday 6^th September it was Whizzing Wheels Day.

You could bring a bike, scooter or skateboard.

Everyone waited for lunch roll to be done then we were off!

Bikers went on the field, skateboarders went to the skate park and scooters were on the court.

 

We all impatiently waited for the instructions. We had to do a course going around cones I didn’t understand it because I had to go first and I got embarrassed. Soon I got the hang of it and it was really fun.

 

Next we did a relay race I was against a boy named Jimi. I was off to a good start but when I swerved around Fiona, I slipped and suddenly smash! I landed on my elbows I grazed my knees and hands, good thing I had my pads on!

 

Finally we weaved in and out of cones continuously. Everyone pike out after a few laps, except Shardia and I. Fiona said I deserved an award. I felt proud.

 

It was the best day ever!

Amazing Whizzing Wheels Day

 

On Thursday the 6^th of September after lunch Syndicate 3 at Waiuku Primary School had Whizzing Wheels Day.

First we got put into three different groups I was in Mrs McKay’s group for the first activity. We were making shapes with our bikes. First we made a circle suddenly we made two circles and after that we made a number eight.

Next we went to our next activity. I was with the Cherry’s. we did relays and races. My friends and I didn’t do the races we just rode up and down the field. the boys kept on winning.

After that we went to our last activity. I was with Mrs Pearce. We did weaving in and out of cones then up the rest of the field and back again. my legs were aching really badly. After that we went up top and put our bikes in the bike rake.

Whizzing Wheels Day was really fun I hope we do it again.

Daffodil Day’s Importance

Daffodil Day is an awareness event for people with cancer some schools bring coins adds to their coin trail which goes to the Cancer Society.

Daffodil Day needs help so the Cancer Society can do the vital scientific research to find cures for all kinds of cancer.

The Cancer Society has been organising Daffodil Day in NZ since 1990 that’s 22 years!

The Cancer Society has chosen daffodils as its symbol because they grow at the beginning of spring which kind of means there is hope for people with cancer.

With your donation we can help people with cancer, just donate to the Cancer Society. By Amity.

Daffodil Day

Daffodil day

People have cancer around the world.

Daffodil Day is about people who have cancer. Your parents or siblings may not have cancer but it would be great if you supported by donating a gold coin. Another way of supporting people who gets affected by cancer is you can also wear green and yellow clothes. Daffodil Day is on the 31^st August.

The Cancer Society started Daffodil Day in 1990, they help out people who get affected by cancer. Many people get affected by cancer and the society supports them.

Your donation gets sent to the Cancer Society which the Cancer Society uses it for scientific research to find, out more stuff to help out. Here’s another fact … did you know that the Cancer Society people don’t just raise money for scientific research they also teach children and adults how to avoid getting cancer.

Daffodils are bright yellow and green flowers that make people smile not just that daffodils bring hope, and represent a new life.

Daffodils slowly sprout as spring comes.

Please donate to give hope.

Amazing Open Day Room 12

I walked up the amazing hill.  I saw a lot of cars in the car park there was a million cars.  I walked through the old class door.  I was like dreaming in the air.  Some crowd of a lot of parents.  Logan’s and James’ and Laura’s and Michelle’s.

Suddenly something popped up.  Cross Country is cancelled.  It’s like my dog died.  I was sad.  I came on to the amazing flying carpet it will cheer me up.  It did.  We played amazing maths and made amazing lolly cake.  We went off to jump jam then suddenly the weather changed.  First it spit then the air like crying.

Thank you to all the families who came along today to share our learning.

Road signs around the school

We went for a walk around our school to look at the road signs that are around us. If you ride your bike on the road you must obey these signs. We are going to make our own road signs for kids on bikes to follow.
