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.

Congratulations Councillors!

Term 1  Week 7 2016

Morris class councillors Vitaraag and Nalisa 

l am a councillor I am amazed because I didn’t know I would be a councilor.I think that I will answer lots of questions and if I do I will be so happy.Being a school councillor is important because you learn about other peoples’ ideas. All the councillors will ask their class what they want to happen at school.

I am excited because Morris class chose me to be a school councillor! Ms Campbell is going to have a meeting with the councillors.I think the school can go on more trips and do more learning.I think being a school councillor is a wonderful idea.I have waited for this moment to happen. I love being a school councillor.

LOVE YOUR COAST!

• Term 1 Week 4  Tuesday .  We met an oceanographer called Oliver who explained that plastic is really dangerous for sea creatures. It comes down drains, and is blown by the wind but the tiny bits of plastic get stuck in the animal's throats and can even kill them. It would be so helpful if we picked up rubbish instead of letting it blow into the sea. So that's what we did at the new reserve called Onehunga Bay.  

LOVE YOUR COAST 

 I was excited because I was waiting for this moment. I was on the bus and  I was looking out the window because I was so surprised. The whole school and even me, had to pick up rubbish. I had a lot of fun but I felt hot so the whole school had a little dip on the other beach next to the Onehunga Bay Reserve. I had so much fun but the whole school had to go back to Hay Park School . I like going to beaches and we all need to love our coast!

I was excited because we were going to Onehunga Bay. I was shocked because I don't want bays to be full of rubbish. Before we went to the bay, two boys called Riley and Oliver told us what will happen if we throw rubbish. Plastic is making the animals die . When we went to the bay we were handed gloves and we picked up rubbish like cigarettes and glass. After that we were going to another beach and we finished off with swimming and making sand sculptures. 

Tearo's  day at Onehunga Bay 

 Oliver and Riley gave us gloves and we picked up rubbish. We all had hats to protect us from the sun. We had a little swim and then we got out and went back to Hay Park School, and went to class.
