Reading Fair

We are deep in preparation for the first Reading Fair the school has had. We have begun by selecting our books, painting our back boards, identfying the title, author, illustrators or photographers. Its is a lot of work but we are discovering IT skills, learning how to write persuasive arguments to "sell" our opinions to you about our books and create the displays. 

Here are a few from on -line that we are using as models of what we could create. We need these finished by Calf Club day so you can see what we have achieved.

Our visit to Katikati Muesum

We  spent a wonderful day exploring the fabulous "past" at Katikati Museum. We spent  the day having lessons based on the past curriculum in school learning cursive writing, morse code, writing on slates, embroidery; played old-faishoned games like tops, knuckle bones and marbles; wore the school clothes of yesterday while we mowed the lawns using a hand mower,

did the laundry using a washboard and pumping the household water. What hard work! 

We have a wining entry for the Digi Awards in Our Classroom.

This stunning image titled Helping Hands has been selected to go through to the Digi Awards in Matamata. Well done Jolie and Shawney for this great shot!
