Today's Riddle: What is the easiest way to double your money?

!!!!!!!WINNERS!!!!!!

Congratulations to Dia and Josh! They are the WINNERS of Tuesday's DOJO POINTS for excellent work. Thank you to everyone who shared... I wonder who it will be today?

 

• Mrs Turner loved the the way that Dia showed all her working to the word problems by drawing pictures - just like her Spotlight Goal told her to.
• Josh wrote a special acrostic poem about his cat Misty. I like the way he used a different colour for the letters down the side.

Last but not least - here is the picture of the awesome tower you guys made last week at school. It's taller than Gyana! But very messy to clean up after knocking it over...

                                                      

Howick Historical Village

What a lovely day we had today. Check out all the photos we took. Can you remember the names of all the different toys we saw? Thanks heaps to our lovely parent helpers who came with us. xx

Jammies in June

This is ALL we did today parents... honest!

Thanks to everyone who donated!

The school got 176 pairs of pijamas AND made $1106.70 for Middlemore hospital. 

What a help it will be to have warm jammies this winter!

Dragon Writing from Assembly

Here are the slides we shared in Assembly today.

Remember,

If you hear a verb touch your nose. If you hear an Adjective, touch your head. AND if you are lucky enough to hear a simile - do a bottom boogie!

Autumn Descriptive Writing

A few weeks ago Team 12 went on a nature walk. 

We used our senses to talk about what autumn felt like, and collected things that reminded us of autumn.

When we got back to class we worked together to brainstorm and choose adjectives to describe what we had found.

We then started to write a poem about autumn.

Finally we published our work ready for display. 

Next time you are in the classroom come and take a look x 

Dragon Stories

We have gone Dragon mad in Team 12.  

Yesterday Mrs Clyde showed us her dragon 'treasure'. 

Even though we didn't have to, some of us made up some really cool stories about how Mrs Clyde came to be in possession of this interesting treasure!!!

Indi wrote one..

Then Alex and Zoe told us theirs orally..

We have been learning about being more descriptive with our Writing. We are learning how to use lots of adjectives. 

How many adjectives did you count?

Week 1Post Covid: Back in the Classroom

WOW!

What a week! I am so proud of the GEM's who have bravely stepped though the door this week and got on with our 'new normal'. On Monday we talked a lot about our feelings and it is clear that a lot of us were feeling the same way. Mrs Turner was so excited to be back but also worried about staying safe.

Here is a selection of the work we have got up to this week...

Sharing and shining our lockdown work... how cool is Josh's Rap?

COVID reflections

Dragon Eyes (Art)

Letters to ourselves

We also hope you all LOVE the special certificates we made our families for helping us at home with our learning. We know it wasn't easy sometimes and we REALLY appreciate your help!

Special shout out to those learners still working from home and sending through work. You Rock! - Hopefully we will see you in the flesh next week.

Team 12!
