Special Welcome

Today we had a special Maori welcome (Mihi Whakatau) in the hall for the visiting German students and the "new" new entrants. The Kapa Haka group did a haka to call us into the hall. Mr Richardson spoke and the school sang to us. Then one of the visiting teachers spoke and we sang to the school. Finally we shook hands. We are all part of ACS officially now!

Sun Safety

Today we also finished our Sun Safety instructions and published them inside a sun hat. We also made a Pic Collage on the iPad about wearing our sun hats.

Check our our displays in the classrooms.

Drawing - Visual Art

Today we made black paper pictures drawing lines and shapes in groups. Then we tried making lines on a grid paper - a different line/shape in each one. They are up on the Discovery Room bi-fold doors.

G is for glasses

This morning we made some glasses to help us remember the letter g.

Here we are in our glamorous glasses!

Swimming

Today we started to weeks of swimming. It was very exciting!

Milo

On Friday after we published our milo instructions we enjoyed a drink of milo with a marshmallow. Yummy!

Poetry Recital Winners

We were really proud of Eli, Jocelyn, Joehan and Josh who recited their poems in front of the Junior School this morning. They could "stand and be confident."

High Jump

Today we went to the back field to practise our high jump for the Junior Athletics Sports. It was tricky learning which leg to jump with. First we tried jumping on the mat without the bar. Some of us are a bit scared of the bar!

Jelly

Last week we also made jelly. We wrote the instructions for making jelly and learnt a Jelly Poem.
We liked eating the jelly the best!!!
This week we are going to make milo and then write the instructions for how to make it.
