Class Photos on PhotoPeach

Symmetry on PhotoPeach In maths, we are learning about how to move objects by flipping, sliding or rotating them. We found out that flipping is also called reflection. So today, we have been creating our own patterns in maths and getting our buddies to reflect the patterns. Then we took photos of them and this is the result! We are also starting our art for the exhibition in Term 4, looking at reflected patterns. Today we planned the artwork and experimented with making some with paper. We are starting our glitter tiles this week and are using the work of Reuben Paterson as our inspiration.

Interview For Mrs Cutler

Duraiz and Sunny interviewed our class after our student teacher Mrs Cutler finished her 7 week practicum here. They asked the students: what did you enjoy and what did Mrs Cutler need to improve to make her a better teacher? Here are their responses!

Swimming Lessons

Each week our class go to the local pools to enjoy swimming. We learn all about the different strokes and how to swim but we had a fantastic water safety session last week. It was so much fun!

Olympic Values

We are learning about the values for the Olympics and Paralympics.
How many of them do you know?

Olympic Medal Winners in Room 14!

As part of learning about the Olympic Games, we are also examining the qualities of an Olympic athlete and the values that the games aspire to bring out in others. Each day, we have a medals ceremony and 3 people win gold, silver or bronze for their efforts in displaying these values.

Here are our first winners of this week:

Colour and Light by Terry

I learnt that colour does not mean the taste and that light only goes in straight lines and it reflects from

mirrors.

This Term - Art Fun!

Kate and Amie's water colour art - we did lots of different things that are in New Zealand!

The trickest thing this term was maths! except I like the maths websites I go on.

TERM 2 by Tayin/Jason

In term 2 we did lot of experiments (taste test, reflection test and how light moves.)

Experiment By Sunny

One day Mrs. Cutler had an experiment for us. It was a juice experiment where she had some water coloured juice  and put food colouring in some of them.

We had to guess what flavour it was, and our choices were water, orange, lemonade and raspberry.

What do you think we discovered?

The Gruffalo

The Baby gruffalo went to Lebanon. He had a big flight in the plane. When he got there he had a nice welcome to the school in Lebanon. 

Life in Lebanon!

Since we have sent our Gruffalo's child off to Beirut in Lebanon, we decided to make some food from Lebanon. We are also learning about procedural writing so we thought it would be cool to write some instructions for how to make yummy hummus. It is made from chickpeas and tahini and lots of us had never heard of them. We thought that they smelt like peanut butter and cat food!

Mrs Rivett helped us to drain the chickpeas and then we added garlic and tahini. We blended up the mixture and then tasted it on some yummy garlic pita bread. Pita bread also comes from Lebanon and the Middle East so this was the perfect combination! Most of us really liked the taste. Yum!

I  like going to the park.
I like going to the mall.

jason likes cars and train and plane and pets and art

The Westpac Chopper Visits PVS

Westpac Helicopter Visit

Today the Westpac helicopter visited our school. Jerome Kaino, the awesome All Black, also came in the helicopter. We sang the song, "You Can Count On Me" and the pilot and passengers listened to us. It was really cool when the wind from the chopper whipped around us!

Diligence

Our class have been thinking about what it means to be DILIGENT. We brainstormed the word and thought about examples of what we do that shows diligence.

Here are our ideas:
We are DILIGENT when we persist in what we are doing even when it is hard.

We are DILIGENT when we are truly hard-working and strive to complete work that shows the BEST that we can do.

In Room 14, we are really thinking about us being diligent and demonstrating hard-work and perseverance.

The Art Gallery

Yesterday our class went to the Auckland Art Gallery. It was awesome! We saw a whole room filled with activities and colourful artworks just for kids - it was all by Reuben Paterson, who is a contemporary New Zealand artist. We played with Kaleidoscopes and messed with xBox interactions and had an awesome time! Then we did a wonderful tour of the gallery and visited the NZ section, where we were able to look at old paintings that tell what it was like in NZ hundreds of years ago.

What a great day!
