Term 4 Week 2  

In Morris class we are learning to describe a moment in time. Our image was a beautiful illustration taken from a book. We are not sure about copyright so we cannot include it in this post. You will have to use your imagination from the description written by Brooklyn!    

FISHING WITH MUM

One day on the beach there was a boy who was nine years old.He had black hair and brown skin.His mum looked like the boy.The mum had a shark necklace.She looked like she was going somewhere.She had a look of excitement and surprise.

The sea shone like the sun.The boy was holding two fish.His mum looked` as if it was her special day.The fish were fresh to eat.They were standing on the hot hot sand.Do you like fish?I think they like fish.I wonder what they are going to catch next!

Writing - including a plan!

TERM 4 Week 1

This recount was written by Stephen. He has a simple plan which he has written on his Chromebook to guide him. The highlighted parts are his self assessment to show where he elaborated and added some more information. I think its a great example of someone being clear about their learning. Would you like to give him some feedback?

The incredible pools  

Last week on Thursday my family,uncles,aunties, cousins and I went to the pools.There were two pools.One was deep and one was shallow.It was incredible!

When we went inside the pool,it was very,very loud!but we had fun.when we’ve  been playing games. we were laughing loud like a clown.Then we were diving in the inside the pool.we were sliding down the water slide.After that I said “this is so fun and so incredible!

Then we ate fish and chips and we drank water because we were very,very hungry and thirsty.After a while we went back home and played board games.  I said I wish we could go there again.

Holiday fun in Auckland

 Term 4 Week 1 

In the holidays my dad and my brother and I went to Victoria Park.

I grabbed my scooter.I saw big ramps and a tall ramp.I was so excited to do tricks! Joseph and I rode around the scooter park.I was so,so fast.The wind blew through  me like a giant tornado.

It was fantastic at Victoria Park because I did a 380 pipe,and I went down the ramp super fast!Joseph and I did a 180 pipe. It means the scooter goes under your legs.And goes over your head and  you land.When I was practising my moves I did a 360 slide bar!A 360 slide bar is when you do a 360 in the air and land on the bar and slide down in the bottom of your scooter.

When we were  done playing at Victoria Park we had to go back home.When we were at home it was so much fun. I thought it was incredible.Joseph and I were so,so tired.I took a drink and rested.

Cross country Race

 

 The Extreme Cross Country Race

At Hay Park we are doing cross country. Tomorrow is the main cross country race, at Keith Hay Park.

When I am at the starting line, I feel as happy as a clown, because I want to get fit. I get tired when I am near Cameron Pools. When we run I feel as excited as a hippo!  My body feels good because my heart is pumping fast. I wonder if that happens with you sometimes?

At the end of the race I feel proud because I ran a long way.

What should I do?

Posted Term 3 Week 5 2016

Patrick has thought about a possible danger that sometimes happens when you are on the internet. Here is what he came up with for himself and to help others.

It's so important to know ahead of time what you will do and what you won't do if something happens. Being prepared makes you a cyber smart person who is going to thrive in the digital world. What other scenarios are you prepared for? Perhaps you could make a similar document to share with us. Sharing great ideas is so helpful. It makes the world go round!!

Term 3 Week 4

Here is some great advice from Oliver in Year 3 on how to care for your Chromebook. 

Olympic Values

Term 3 Week 2 Learning new ideas and taking in new information is helping us understand more about the world and what we want to do as we live in it. A new discovery this week were the Olympic values which also remind us of our school values. It was interesting to know that other places have values too that they talk about and think about. We used Google Drawings to create a chart about them, so here are a few examples.

Term 3 2016

Term 2 Week 7  

Matariki Thinglink 

 Today we learned how to make a Thinglink with James and it was so exciting.  Because it is Matariki it was the perfect choice of topic. Some Ninjas from Room 8 came to help Morris class and there are photos coming of that great tutoring!

Hay Park school is so proud of  our fabulous learners and teachers!  Do you know that you can click on each of the bright stars and read what is attached to it.  This Thinglink was created by Fatima.

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.

Hairy McClary at Hay Park School

    Term 2 Week 4  Hairy Maclary Visits Dusky Our School Cat 

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.

Stephen

 Hairy Mclary is a naughty boy. He and Dusky are enemies  and he fights Dusky because he want to be stronger and more loved by the students.  
Fatima 

 Hairy Maclary went to Hay Park School. He made friends with Dusky and played together. He had so much fun and he liked to roll on the slide.
