Hey, Hey! It's Calf Club Day!!!

What a way to start Term 4! 

The day dawned very wet and windy but the sun broke through about 10.30 so we had a interesting day for Calf Club. Most of Room 3 had great looking animals that had been well cared for judging by the superior leading, following and handling skills demonstrated.

Bright eyed lambs with clean coats, well filled out bodies and glossy sleek looking calves full of the beans paraded with some gorgeous goats who proved they were interested in anything on offer to eat! There was one little piggy who created quite a bit of interest and the biggest bunny that I've ever seen!!

They nibbled happily at dresses, fingers, hair...... don't you love them.
There were a lot of well deserved ribbons handed out. Congratulations to everyone who took part.

Once again a student from Room 3 stepped up and with some help from her big sister presented her Pet Project as a power-point. Well done Bronlee.

Sharing our learning on Volcanoes

Alex went above and beyond in Science as he shared his learning with the school. With help from Bryn and Mrs Jones he has produced an informative and learning focused power-point  to share his explanation of how volcanoes are formed, how they erupt and the changes they create on the land. 

Well done Alex... we are very proud of you. 

Sadly the whole power-point will not up load but here is a screen shot of the cover and the promise the contents hold. Please call into Room 3 if you wish to see the entire power-point, you are most welcome.

Another day in the Gardens

Our edible orchard is almost complete with the whole school helping to move compost and plant out cranberries, strawberries, gooseberries, blueberries, broccoli, peas and rhubarb. there are only some feijoa's and more under planting to go. Well done Kuranui School. Next term it's a 'Spud in the Bucket Competition'.

Sharing our learning in Movement and Position.

As a whole school we had a maths task to complete for our assessment of our learning in Geometry.

First we had to build a plan on a grid creating a map then we had to describe our plan followed by giving directions using points of the compass, left and right directions, number of steps or grid references to the treasure buried on our map.

Some of our completed discussions we very explicit and most of us found a piece of treasure .. well done Room 3. Thank you Room 5 for being our treasure hunters.

Katija has new ducklings !!!!

Katija has a brand new clutch of ducklings this year and there are 5 this time. Thank you for sharing them with us Katija. They are so very cute!!!
