New School Name

Well this week we have been voting on the name we thought was best for the new school. 

Have you had your say yet?

Reuse, Reduce and Recycle

Check out this fantastic song around the 3 R's.

The children are really enjoying learning about this. What can you tell us about recycling.

Certificates at full school assembly

Well what a score this morning.

We had so many amazing certificates. Check out the photos.

Writing on the iPad

Today we started using Typewrite to write collaboratively. We each used the same document to write out stories. Mr Gibson could check what we have written and help us fix it. We found it weird to see people typing on the iPad when we were.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

In Pohuhtukawa we have been learning about what is recycling. We had a look at our rubbish bin and decided that we really didn't know where everything went. Lucky Miss Thomason had gloves for us to go through the rubbish with. 

Buddy Reading

On Friday Pohutukawa children were lucky enough to be invited to buddy read in the library with children from Kahikatea. We really enjoyed sharing books with our older buddies - here are some photos showing how engaged we were and we are really looking forward to doing it again soon!

School Photos

It's time for a big smile! Best school uniform as on Monday 7 September Pohuhtukawa are having our class photo. 

We will try and remind the children on Friday. 

Writing about China

In writing today we watched some videos about China. We then had to write about what we saw and knew about it. It was lots of fun to do some different research about China.

Anica, Levi and Aya wrote this about China. What else do we know?

In China there is the Great Wall of China and it was made a long time ago.
By Anica

In China they have a big wall. It is the biggest wall in the world. It was made a long time ago.
By Levi

Green Paper money was made in China.
By Aya

Our New Song

In Pohutukawa we are learning a new song. Mr Gibson and Nina remember this song from when they were children.

Can you practice this song at home? Your mum's and dad's might also know this song.
