Special Helpers

On Friday, Mrs Robertson went to Kapa Haka to help the seniors for a short time after assembly. Room 5 went to Room 14 with Mrs Rout to do some buddy work with the older children.  This helps build good relationships between the younger and older children of the school.  Mrs Rout posted the following on her blog....

Awesome Alligators

We made alligators. They are long with sharp teeth.

Ten Apples Up On Top

We read the book 'Ten Apples up on Top' and as part of our maths time, have been counting forwards and backwards to/from 10.

Look at us counting the apples!

Frost Morning

It was a very frosty morning on Wednesday. We went for a quick walk to check out the icy puddles and frost on the grass and other places around the school.

New Entrants,Term 3 2015.

We welcome four New Entrants to school. Liam, Vlad, Alexis and Milla started school in Room 5.

I hope that your and your families will enjoy bring part of the The Busy Bee classroom.

'A' is for Amazing Science

Rooms 5 and 6 did an Amazing science experiment!

We used:

A bottle

A balloon

Baking soda

A funnel

White vinegar

We poured some white vinegar into the bottle.

Next we put some baking soda into the balloon using a funnel.

We carefully stretched the balloon over the neck of the bottle.

Then we stood the balloon up so that the baking soda dropped down into the vinegar below!

This caused carbon dioxide to form and the balloon inflated!

The children thought this was 'amazing!'

High School Helper

As part of the Buller High School 'Gateway' Programme, students can explore their interest in possible future employment options. Room 5 enjoys having Kali work in our classroom each Thursday morning. She is very keen to train as a Primary School teacher. The children enjoy working with Kali.

Kali sorting shapes with Krystle, John and Nataleigh. We have been learning about 2D shapes as part of our Maths focus on Geometry.

Night School!

Children were very excited to come to school at night for the two evenings of The School Revue. After their class performance they returned to the classroom and waited for their parents/caregivers to finish watching the show. The children thought that coming to school at night was fun! they could choose what they wanted to do while they were waiting. 

Some played with the blocks.

Krystle chose to practise handwriting.

Marcus and Regan made 'pretend' meals for everyone!

It was fun coming to school in dark!

Room 5 visitors

Mills, Liam and Vladimir came to school for their last Transtion to School visit. They stayed and had lunch with their friends. They will start school at the beginning of Term 3.

End of the Show

Look at these amazing performers!

Congratulations Rooms 5 and 6,  your performances throughout the show have been AWESOME!
