Work of the Week - Week 11

In the last week of term one we looked at anger and explored some strategies to help us deal with this emotion. We also learnt how to use WeVideo to create a movie. Here is a great example...

Anger

At the Pet Doctors

Waiting for Ron to get his injections, he is not happy in his box! I wonder if someone could invent a way to get him to the vets and keep him happy? 

Work of the Week - Week 10

This week the Avengers reading group read a School Journal story called Monsoon Flood. Taliai has used this text to write a set of instructions about how to stay safe in a flood. 

HOW TO ESCAPE OF A FLOOD

Step 1: leave everything before you die and save yourself.

Step 2: Shout for help so someone can help you.

Step 3: Go to a safe place but a high place like a mountain or a place that's in our country.

Step 4: Instead of swimming and getting tired find something to grab on something and hoist on to it

T-shirts

Last week 6 students from the Kea team visited Roskill Youthzone to start their T-shirt designs. They learnt how to make effective stencils for the printing process. Watch this space for the finished designs next week...

Cookies!

On Friday Room 3 baked healthy cookies. They were delicious and would make a great addition to breakfast, morning tea or lunch! Who can remember the main ingredients?

Work of the Week - Week 9

This week we started looking at the food we eat and asking ourselves questions such as:
- How many calories are in this food?
- What are the ingredients in this food and where did they come from?
- What influences the choices we make about the food we eat?

We found a poem called 'Alphabet Stew' and created our own using only (or mostly) healthy food choices. Here is Alisi's poem (so far).

Must

Use healthy food only

Get to at least m

Should

Use capital letters for each line

Group lines into verse

Could

Use a different size, colour or bold to show the letters

Use interesting words

Alphabet Stew

Apples are so juicy,Bananas are so soft,Cucumbers are so hard,Durians are so yum and sometimes I have lots.

Eggplants don’t taste like egg at all,Fennel kind of looks like a ball,Grapes are so sweet like how my dad makes meat.

Haricot beans kind of look like rice,Iceberg lettuce doesn't always feel very nice.

Jerusalem artichoke looks like a pig,Kiwi fruits are so yummy in my body that is kind of big

Lemons are so sour,Melons are so huge do you want to try my stew I sure do.

Nectarines kind of look like a peach,Oranges look like a sun has just raised on the beach.

Pineapples are kind of sour and I like sing a pineapple song in the shower,Q

Work of the Week - Week 8

Another tournament day and another fantastic example of team work, sportsmanship and persistence. 

Our touch team battled through four hard fought games (all decided by one try or tied) to make the play-off for third and fourth places. We had success and grabbed 3rd spot with a 3-0 win over our friends Owairaka. 

Well done boys! Can anyone remember some tips we picked up to improve on the day?
