Giving to others

Today Room 4 have spent a productive couple of hours creating cards for people who are showing courage in adversity. As part of our service learning we are giving time to Kylee Black who herself shows amazing courage in trying times. See story link http://www.spiritsparkplugs.com

The students were moved by her story and wanted to help in some way. So after discussion they decided to create cards for Kylee to post on to other people who needed just a little help, an encouraging word and a smile.

A smile makes all the difference and we thank Kylee for sharing her story on Close Up in July and touching the hearts of all of us.

Kia Kaha.

Thank you Room 4 for "Paying it Forward".

Our Auckland Camp 2010

This week we have been walking all around Auckland. We started our camp at Paradice Ice skating, then it was off to Auckland Backpackers for the night. We spent a couple of hours off our feet watching StepUp 3d...

Day 2 saw us at the Auckland Museum reflecting on the Ripple Effect of War. That night we spent some time with Salty Sam and a tour on the Auckland Harbour. Well done Nick for being first to drive the boat! It was an interesting time in our very small immigrant quarters where Mrs Ipsen learnt that her students talk all night in their sleep as well as all day....smile.

Day three saw us all at MOTAT exploring our past. The night at the Zoo followed with some amazing information learnt from Dave.

Day 4 saw us all hop aboard the Ferry for a quick trip up Rangitoto! Yes we all made it back safe. Was a quiet trip back to Hamilton!

What a week in Room 4

This week we have been very fortunate to be involved in a different programme. Mrs J is doing some French Cooking with part of our class. We have been enjoying tasting Choux pastries, Palmiers, French toast, and fougasse bread.

Ryan and Nick are busy filming our French cooking and creating a movie about this.

The rest of the class are involved in an amazing art project that Ms Libby is doing that involves using ICT to create art pieces and then doing printing to enhance these art pieces. These will be displayed at Hamilton Museum later in the term.

Here are some photos of my very busy class!
