Chantal was inspired by this week's snow

Winter

Bone-chilling like an 

ice ring

Morning is colder

than anything

Rain, hail, sleet, snow

What comes next?

I don't know

Maybe cloud or maybe sun

or maybe snow 

all over again.

Amazing writing

Check out this fabulous poem by our Sam!
I love the way it creates a picture in my mind when I read it!

Morning Meadows

The sky is dark and

dew has been set.

The calves and their mothers are sleeping.

The trees are not swaying because

there is no

breeze.

The buttercups rise early in the morning,

spreading their buttery, glistening

petals

creating a

 colourful morning scene.

The tall grass

blanketing the

farm animals in

the morning meadows.

 WEEK 2 TERM 2

Highlights this week

Dream houses for maths
We designed dream houses. What we did was we made a plan of our dream homes but the boring part was we had to work out the area and see how many metres there were in the homes.

Cross Country
So the cross country came and went man we were tired after the race.

Arts Interchange
It's Friday so it's arts interchange so there were some awesome things like percussion, dance and maori performing arts. Here's some photos of percussion class.

National anthem in sign language
We are learning the National Anthem in sign language so if you know someone in Room 27 ask them how to do it.

We've got the new and awesome Miss Falkner.


by Riley Chisnall and Lavender Turner.

Week 1, Term 2 

 Our highlights:

 * For our ignition for our term's inquiry about forces, we did a competition to see which group could pull Heather's truck over a 10 metre track. We had to see who could be fastest. We were! For our reward, we got to have a tug of war!

 * Sports trials. Some of us got into Winter sports teams.
 * Rachael King visited. We are reading her book 'Red Rocks'. We are loving it!

 * Having a great new teacher
 * Poetry: We wrote 'I asked' poems, which use nouns, verbs and adjectives.
 * 'All about us'. We made little versions of ourselves, with symbols and colours to represent who we are.
 * Going to the library.
 * Fitness. We are attempting to run the length of NZ, from Kaitaia to Bluff!
 * 'Our favourite books'. We did a mini-study on our favourite books and displayed them on the wall to give recommendations to our classmates on what to read!

 This week we have been getting to know each other, and Miss Falkner is getting to know us and how we learn. We are learning that everyone has a different high standard, and to always aim for our own high standard. Check back here next week to see what we've been up to! Next week the blog will be written by 2 students from Room 27.

Welcome to our new blog!

I am excited to be Team 27's new teacher! I am looking forward to sharing our learning with you throughout the rest of this year.
