Kath Bee Came To Visit!

Today Kath Bee (from Nelson) came to visit. We went to the hall to listen to her sing songs to us. Some of us were chosen to go up the front and join in the actions and dance moves. We learnt some fun new songs and watched Kath make balloon animals. We even sung a song that we all love and one we already sing at assembly, called, "Individuality" ... we learnt that Kath Bee had written the song and created the music. 
What a clever lady!

Principal's Award

Bella and Ari received Principal's Awards. Well done you clever people....keep up the great work!

Growing Beans

Some of the Room 7 children are growing beans with a buddy. They will record any changes that happen to their bean in their 'Bean Journal' each week.

On Thursday we got a plastic cup and rolled up a paper towel. We placed the paper towel in the middle of the cup and filled the inside with soil. Next we put a bean seed between the paper towel and the cup. Then we added water to the soil (not too much though!). 

Now we can see what happens to the bean seed.

What do you think will happen?

Seeds, seeds, seeds...

This term we are growing plants. There are so many different types of seeds. Can you guess what type of plants these seeds will grow into?

Super Reader!

Olivia has finished her whole homework reading book. Wow, Olivia you have read a lot of books!

125 Nights of Reading

Happy Birthday to Leah & Jai

TERM 4

Welcome back to the last term of 2013!

AND... a big welcome to the six new students who have joined our class ( Daisy, Finn, Amber, Aliana, Izabelle and Rachael). 

Even though our class is bigger now..... we think it's still the BEST class!

Swimming!

Summer is coming... 

so it's time for swimming lessons.

Remember to bring your togs, a towel and goggles to school on Monday (the first day back), because we are going swimming. Yahoo!
The bus will pick us up at school, each day, after lunch and we will be back at school before 2:45pm

We hope you are all having a safe and happy holiday!

Final Assembly For Term 3

Some photos of our final term 3 assembly.

Here we are waiting patiently for assembly to begin.

We listened to three very clever speeches.

 Then we watched our Kapa Haka perform They were absolutely brilliant!!!

Our friends from Buller High came to our assembly so we could thank them for helping us get ready for our revue. When they saw the Kapa Haka performing, they too got up and responded because it was their way of showing that they appreciated seeing Westport South's Kapa Haka's performance.

And...here are two of Room 7's students getting Principal Awards. 

Well done Clarice and Neve!

Science in a Van

On the last day of term 3, our Junior Syndicate went to the NBS Theatre to watch a road show... "Science in a Van'. 
We learnt how mixtures can come together to create a reaction.
We saw lots of bubbles being formed. 
Some were small... and some were very BIG! 
Here we are (with the "Kindy kids") waiting for the show to begin...

Here come the bubbles...
