Today room 9 did plays about Tika Pono and Aroha. 

Tika means justice, pono means doing what is right and aroha means love. We split into groups and came up with great ideas. Some groups did people bullying one another. Other people did people teasing each other. Then someone told to stop fighting and made it fair. It was fun we learnt a lot about Tika Pono and Aroha.

Self Portraits

This week we learnt how to draw a face by visualising it into three thirds. The top third is your forehead and eyes, the middle third is your nose and upper mouth and the bottom third is your lips and chin. It was fun learning to draw our self-portrait. We hope you like our pictures.

Then we ran around the course to find codes and clues. At the end we needed to work out the code which was.....Room 9 is cool! He showed us a clip about orienteering and asked us if we wanted to do orienteering again and Room 9 all said yes! Thanks for coming in dad, you're the best!

Reign of God

 Jesus said, "With what can I compare God's Reign? The Reign of God is like the tiny piece of yeast that the baker woman mixes in with the three measures of flour. The little bit of yeast makes the flat dough slowly rise and grow into a lovely big, fat loaf of bread."      Luke 13:20-21

We learnt about the Reign of God and made some delicious bread. Below are pictures of when we role played how we can show the Reign of God everyday.

Family Friday Week 5

Today it was Family Friday but on a Thursday.

It was so much fun! Mr McGillivray came in and talked about iron sand and some other sands called

PC, RAW and White sand but Mr McGillivray got the white sand out of the sand pit. It was fun learning about the iron in the sand and using magnets. He then dressed some children up in a special uniform that protect the people that work in extreme temperatures to make the iron and steel. Thanks for coming in Dad.

Science Day

Today on our science day James Boffin showed us how to make elephant tooth paste. Then James Boffin showed us how to make it. Then he gave us a tub, a little wooden stick, then he showed us this slippery liquid and he told us to put it in our little tubs, then he told us about this thing called borax and then we mixed it together and it became goo. It almost stuck to the bottom.
