Diana's Holiday Adventure

Telescopic Text #1

This week we used telescopic text to add ideas, describing words and edit our writing. Unfortunately we couldn't save our work but we took screen shots to show our first and final holiday writing examples. We are really proud of the work that we did!

Haiti Donations

Haiti is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world.
On January the 12th, 2010 a massive earthquake struck Haiti, making most of it's capital rubble. Over 250,000 people have been killed and 200,000 lost their homes.

In class we have been discussing about what happened and we also looked at some photos of all the rubble. We have been making pictures to give to the children in Haiti
and that made us think...That we could also give other items to Haiti.

So then we decided that we would like everyone to help.
So we are going to do a project in which we will be donating
toys, clothes, soap, toothpaste, and letters to Haiti in packs for them.

So if you have any of these items bring them to us in Room 12 any morning in Week 1 & 2 to help us out. Also keep an eye out on Karekare pod to see some other fantastic fundraising ideas that will support the people of Haiti.

** A note from Miss S: This is part of Home Learning challenges for Karekare students and they are undertaking this challenge as part of the 'giving' category.

My Survey By Megan

One bright windy day Miss Signal told us we would be creating a survey for a couple of classes to see and answer for us. First we had to right down a couple of questions. Then we had to choose one out of the questions that we had written down. After we
had chosen our top question (with a little help from our marvellous teacher Miss Signal) we had to start drafting our survey on a completely blank piece of paper.

There were a couple of steps when we were publishing our work the first step we had to do was write down our question.My question was if we had a teacher come into our school what would he or she's personality be like? After we did that we had to write down the options. My options were sporty, mathematical, technological, arty, strict and other. Then after that we had to we had to publish it in our perfectly whitely white books which would be our maths two books. To publish it we had to write down the date, statistics, the question, rule some lines and then put in the options. Nearly about two days later (that some how felt like two years) we finally ended up going to a couple of other classes with a buddy and my awesome buddy was Jessica (a student in my class).

Me and Jessica went around two classes both marvellous year fours that always chatter and chatter and chatter we asked both classes our surveys first we went to room 3 and that teacher didn't let jess read her survey to the class even though it was perfectly good!!! My survey was fine though. After that we went to room 21 and that teacher was fine, her name is Mrs Brown. She was fair and she thought both of ours were worth asking somebody about. After we had done that we went back to class. The End!

Tumeke 12's Teamwork Butterflies

I am so very proud of Tumeke 12 this week - they have created the most amazing butterflies as part of their Topic and Visual Arts in the last week! Tumeke 12 had to work as a team to collaborate and create their butterflies. They showed persistence, teamwork, respect, encouragement and thinking in creating their masterpieces.

Here is a slideshow showing the process that Tumeke 12 went through to create their butterflies. Soon we will have pictures up so you can see the completed work!

Tino pai Tumeke 12!
