new treaty

Today we wrote a treaty and we used intresting words using honesty/responsibility respect and empthay. We talked about what it means. This is our treaty and we all signed it. It is an agreement that we will follow it and that we understand that if we break our promises it can lead to broken trust. Then we can't do some of the cool things that we want to do. 1. Have empathy. 2. Show respect. 3. Be responsible. 4. Be honest. 5. Concentrate on learning 6. Have a happy attitude. 7. Make positive decisions.

About posting

Great to see children posting on the blog and some good comments coming through...thanks everyone...no point having a blog if nobody uses it!

So just an idea, when you log in and write a post from home can you please put your first name so I can put it under a label. That way your family and friends can click straight to your name...cool huh? For example I knew it was Eden that made one of the posts so I put it under Eden on the right hand side of the page.

Thanks Miss H

What is a butterfly

A butterfly is a insect.insects are six legged animals that have hard shells or exoskeletons on the outside of their bodies instead of skeletons. By multi butterflies

enviroment

protecting the enviroment is important because we make our world nice and green.when we have new green plant it protects other insect and so the insects can kill the bugs that kill the plants.plants protect the earth and gives us a shiny green world.when the world is nice and green we can have a nice protected country.

You know.....

When you are watching t.v next time? why don't you think about how it matches with school??????

We are learning about narrative writing aren't we? so if you are watching Spongebob...who is the hero and villain? and what is their conflict?
or
If you are watching Phineas and Ferb...who are the main characters....what are their conflicts and each episode should have a climax and resolution....what are they? there is learning in the whole world around you...just think about it and bring your ideas to school...

Can't wait to hear them...

Hi

Today is a great day!

Marae trip

Our trip to Awataha marae is approaching in the next few weeks. Keep the permission forms rolling in. Also there is the option of 3 payments of 5 dollars instead of the 15 all at once. Most importantly because this trip is out of our local community we need the permission forms in or the child cannot go on our trip :(

Week 4

A huge well done to our week 4 certificate earners:

Duffy - Jonty and Darzell for great work with reading.

Special certificates - Tavita and Sophia, both have an excellent attitude towards their learning!

Great work children. Keep doing these great things!!

Week 2

Well done to our first certificate winners:

Duffy - Leimoana and Maynian

Special Certificates - Nathaniel and Daley

Keep up the great work!

Treaty

We have been learning about the Treaty of Waitangi. We learnt that a treaty is an important document and it is used when we need to make agreements and promises between two groups. Like the Maori and the Pakeha. We made our own treaty:

Treaty 'Do' List

Cool myself down when I am having trouble staying in control.
Talk nicely and gently to eachother.
Be kind to others.
Put things in the right place.
Use equipment sensibly.
Look after our class members.
Respect people and their things.
BE AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME DOING THE RIGHT THING.
