News Report, Week 4, Term 4, 2005

Rock Study
In Room 5 we have finished our rock studies which built us up to a greater height of understanding. We shared our projects and the teachers and other students enjoyed them.

DARE
The DARE programme has been cancelled until further notice as Constable Voice is on leave.

Digital Storybooks
Most digital storybooks have been completed and they are awesome! We wrote the stories, made plasticine models, painted the backgrounds, photographed the scenes and built the storybooks in powerpoint. Ben states, “children use the computers much more effectively lately and a lot of electricity is being used.”

Book news
Every Friday we have been sharing our favourite books. Everyone should read. We have a vote and put our favourite books on our Recommended Reading wall.

Sports
Push Play
We have been taking part in the Push Play programme at Pine Hill School and we have all managed to do at least 30 minutes a day. We go on a whole school run each day training for the great cross country. Push Play has taken over and we just can’t stop moving!

Touch Rugby
We had a touch rugby game again Tainui and we won 4 to 2. We are enjoying learning how to play Touch.

Today is Halloween, don’t eat too much candy, stay safe and have a spooky day.
