Our flag

  Term 2 Week 5 

We are learning about different cultures in our class and it is so interesting to learn some new facts to help us understand more about each other.

This Flag belongs to Afghanistan. The black is about the darkness of our past history, the red is for the blood of the wars and the green is hope for a bright future.

We are learning about Lynley Dodd as an author. We love her clever ideas and the characters in her books are so interesting to read about.  

 Hairy Maclary


 Hairy Maclary was at Hay Park School. When he saw Dusky they were friends. It was the first time that  we saw  them being friends. Hairy Maclary was rushing up to Dusky because they were excited, They went under the shade sail to have some shade,  They went to the Junior Park and they were running around at the end of lunch break.

A visit to the Symphony Orchestra

 Term 1 Week 10 

 Our whole school piled into three buses and off we went to the Mt Albert War Memorial Hall to hear the Youth Symphony Orchestra. What an amazing sound!  It was such special day and afterwards  some students wanted to learn the clarinet, the saxophone, the harp,, flutes, piccolo, and bass. Nalisa even had the opportunity to conduct the orchestra and some students were allowed to go and sit in the orchestra space to hear what the music sounds like there.  We heard all the instruments one by one and of course we heard them all play together.
