This weeks Cool Dude...


Orkut Scrap Toys

Week 3/4

The last three weeks have flown by!! We were lucky to have Emily from The Art Gallery come out to our class last week to do some printmaking with us. You should feel very proud of your amazing art!

We have also done a few science experiments - I think the flying teabag that Ms Sio did with you has been the favourite so far! Ms Sio also taught you a Samoan song 'Savalivali'.  We will need to keep practicing and put a video of you singing on our blog soon!

It has also been great to have 'Wonderings and Discoveries' back up and running! - which will definitely be a highlight of each week.

Our start to Term 2! on PhotoPeach


Wednesday is Olympic Day!  We are representing Jamaica so dig out any black, green or yellow!

Quadblogging - 4H, England


This week we have had a look at Mr Handley's Year 4 class blog: Mr Handley 4H
They have put a video on their website to show us their school.
It was also interesting to see that their school opened in 2008 so is very new!  
Our school opened in 1864 - so is over 150 years old!! :)

When we leave a comment on a blog we need to remember to...
1. Start with a greeting
2. Comment or make a compliment. ( I like....., Wow, that's great, You have done a lot of research...)
3. Maybe ask a question.
4. Say farewell ( bye, have a great day….)
5. Check spelling, punctuation and meaning.
