Rugby Rules!

Tyson and Angus play rugby for Motueka United under 9's on Saturday mornings. Last weekend they played Riwaka. Angus scored 7 tries- yes 7 tries! Here they are shaking hands with the opposition after the game. All the players got a free icecream on Saturday which was a nice treat!
Good luck for the rest of the season boys!

A present from Thailand

Paige is wearing some special clothes that her grandad sent to her from his trip to Thailand. Cool hat Paige! Her little sister got some clothes like this as well and her brother got $20.

Wonderful Wildlife

Hamish drew this really cool picture of a giraffe using the PAINT programme. We are studying different types of wildlife this term for science. We are learning about animals and their various habitats and environments.

Wildlife Sketches

We are learning to sketch in detail using our observational skills. This is a picture of a tuatara.

Laiana did some fantastic shading on her tuatara as well as sketching all the details such as the scales and the wrinkles on the skin. We learnt that tuatara have 5 little claws on each foot and that they lay eggs.

Andrae drew this cute little kiwi. She got a principals award for her sketching this week. Well done Andrae!

Writing Instructions

We are learning how to write instructions clearly by writing each step out carefully and in detail. We thought it would be a great idea to write instructions on how to ride a bike. Angus lives just over the fence from school so he ran home and got his bike and brought it to school so we could talk about the steps and actually see it for ourselves at the same time.

Here I am writing instructions about how to ride a bike. As you can see I remembered to wear my helmet!

After we finished the writing I was allowed to ride around the court as fast as I could. Luckily Mr Harrison never saw me!

Numeracy

On Wednesday we had a special teacher called Mrs Cobb come into our class to take a maths lesson. She showed us some really cool maths games that we can play that help us learn our basic facts. Here you can see the circles group doing an activity with Mrs Cobb The circles are learning to count on in their heads quickly without using their fingers.

Making sandwiches

Here I am getting some marmite on my knife ready to spread on my sandwich.

We made sandwiches on the 21st of may.Here is a photo of Jayjay,Laiana,Macey and Ellen making a sandwich. We had to write each step out clearly in our draftwriting books. We had to get a buddy to read out the steps so we could make the sandwich.

I am eating my sandwich that me and Sam S made. Sam read the instructions to me while I made the marmite sandwich.We cut the sandwich so we could both eat it. I think the marmite sandwich was very delicious.

We went to the Life Education Truck this morning.Here is a picture of Harold and Helen.Helen taught us about healthy food and unhealthy food.We didn't get to see Tam but it was actully a lot of fun without Tam.We had an awesome time at the Life Education truck.

Harold was sick today and through the weekend.When we got inside the truck Harold was still in his pyjamas.He had pink pjs and Barbie dolls on it.He came out and said we look very intelligent and good looking.Harold had a look in his dads telescope and saw an alien on earth.Here is Jahmalaki and Ashlie with some food.There were three groups.Food made from Ingredients,Food from Animals and Food from the ground. After that, Harold chose Ashlie to come and get the activity books from him.He held on to the books in his mouth and wouldn't let Ashlie take the them away. It was really funny because Ashlie hit him on the head and then he let go!

Autumn

Here is our photo of our school oak tree. The leaves have turned brown and are falling off the tree. S00n the tree will be bare. By macey and Akeila .

Treewalkers

It was very fun when the tree walkers came to our school. They gave us an apple tree. They said it was a MAGIC apple tree because it grew two different types of apples. The kapa haka group performed for the tree walkers. They thought it was GREAT that we like trees.They said that trees were on the planet before us.

Gymnastics practise

We are busy practising our skills for the gymnastics festival in week 6. Over 25o pupils usually compete from about 10 schools around the Tasman District. The festival is held at the Rec Centre...come along and watch us if you can!

One of the compulsory activities is creating a human pyramid. Here you can see some groups working together to help each other balance. Some people are still a bit wobbly but I'm sure they will improve over the next few weeks.

Way to go Eva- don't fall off now!

(Tiana looks like she is ready to catch you if you lose your balance)


Look mum, no hands!
The people on the bottom need to have strong backs and keep very still to make it easier for others to steady themselves on top.

Kapa Haka

This is our Kapa Haka group performing at our special assembly on Tuesday. We have 7 girls from our class who have joined the group this year. Mrs Whitwell-Archer and Mr Marr work hard with these pupils, they practise every week during their lunch break and I think you will agree that they look fantastic in their uniforms.

The Kapa haka group get ready to perform on stage..

Go GIANTS Go!

This is Michael Harrison! He is one of the American imports playing for the Giants this year.

Here is Eva and Lyric with GI-ANT

A group of us went to watch the Nelson Giants play the Canterbury Rams on Saturday night at the Trafalgar Centre. It was such an exciting game and Nelson ended up winning 84-83 in the last 3 seconds.

We had great seats, right behind the goal and next to the Wannabes. We cheered the players on and sang "I'm blind, I'm deaf, I wanna be the Ref!!"

The crowd was very loud and really got in behind the Giants team and supported them.

This is Rowan Gray. He is over 2 metres tall-we had to get him to bend down so we could fit him in the photo!

Some people stayed behind after the game to get autographs from the players and to stand next to them so they could see just how tall they REALLY were.

We hope Nelson wins the National Championship again this year.

Book Fair Parade

Our school ran a Book Fair on the last week of school. We all dressed up as our favourite book character and we had a parade in the playground. Mrs Beatson dressed up as Mrs Wishy-Washy and Mrs Latimer was Nana Mihi.

The Book Fair theme was "The Beach" so some people dressed in beach clothes instead. it was great to see so many people get involved and we sold lots of books too which was fantastic!

Here is Geronimo and his helpers. They did a wonderful job of setting up the hall and displaying all the books that were on sale during the week.

Bad Jelly the Witch with Jahmalaki, Macey and Laiana...watch out girls,

Who is behind these amazing costumes? Any ideas?

Could it be Isaac and Akeila?

Aquatic Centre and Rabbit Island Trip

This is Isaac sitting on the boot of his dads car at Rabbit Island. That looks like a delicious lunch you have there Isaac!

Here is Tyson, Nick and Jesse getting ready for their treasure hunt. Everyone had to find lots of different things such as a piece of driftwood, a piece of metal, a fish skeleton and a yellow leaf.

Ashlie, Jahmalaki, Lyric and Laiana had heaps of fun in the lane pool practising their diving and pin drops. It was REALLY DEEP at one end and the water was way over their heads.

The wave pool was popular with everyone. Some people tried to stand up on the surfboards. Every 15 minutes the siren comes on to let people know that the waves are about to begin.

The spa pools are the warmest pools at the Aquatic Centre.

Iced Biscuits

On Friday Mrs Latimer took iced biscuits for Privilege. It was a very popular choice. Everyone got 3 biscuits each to decorate with icing and lollies. Here you can see Macey and Jay with their delicious looking biscuits!Mmmmmm..yum

Principals Awards

Angus and Shaquille are holding up their Principals Awards that they received this week at assembly. Angus wrote a wonderful fairytale based on Cinderella-he used his imagination and included lots of interesting language in his writing. He changed some of the main ideas in the traditional story and made it really funny.
Shaquille did some fantastic measuring in maths using centimetres and millimetres.
Congratulations boys, you are producing some awesome work!

Tidy Kiwi award

This term our class has been trying REALLY hard to keep our school environment clean and tidy. After lunch we often go out and pick up litter from our playground. You would be surprised at how much we collect some days -it can be up to 2 or 3 supermaket bags FULL of chippie packets, muesli bar wrappers and gladwrap.
This week we won the "Tidy Kiwi" award at assembly. Here you can see Lyric and Sapphire with Kevin the Kiwi.
Wouldn't it be fantastic if everyone remembered to put their rubbish in the bins after interval and lunch - lets keep Motueka South litter-free!

Measuring Madness

For maths today we used metre rulers to measure the distance between various buildings around our school. We used chalk to mark off each metre for the really

l-o-n-g things such as the tennis courts and the library deck and then recorded it into our books.

Ashlie and Jahmalaki are measuring the length of the bikeshed - it measured 13m altogether

Andrae and Sam H are measuring the length of the sandpit - it measured 10m altogether

Tiana, Jahmalaki and Eva are measuring how far it is from the school office to our classroom- it measured 17m altogether

We now know that 1 metre=100cm or 1000mm
