Calendar Art

We had a great time deciding what to do for our calendar art, We had lots of ideas. We finally decided to create our calendar art based on our school houses. We also loved researching the birds we were drawing and creating the art work itself. We are in Kea house: Srinitha, Jordyn, Aayush, Tayla and Sophie.
We are in Tui house: Ayyan, Kiera, Bella and Peni.
We are in Hoiho house: Ethan, Daina, Lockie, Natasha, Franca and Blake. Sadly Zeb was away when we did our calendar art but he is also in Hoiho house.
We are in Takahe house: Matthew, Liam, Madison, Rhys, James, Kaya and Pippa.

Gymnastics

This afternoon we went to the hall to go through the gymnastics activities that we will be doing during sport next week. One of the activities is seal rolls where we roll with our arms above our heads and our legs are straight. We then have to make a candle shape. We might have to practice this as some of us found it quite tricky. Danielle from Room 11 was amazing at doing it. She helped us by teaching us what to do.

ASB Get Wise - Financial Literacy Session

Today we had Julian from the ASB Bank in Room 13 to teach us about money. He taught us a rhyme that goes 'Speed to your need, Wait for your wants.' He dressed up as a superhero and told us some very funny stories about what we need compared to what we want. We learnt about notes and coins. We ordered the notes and the coins from the highest value to the lowest value.
