The Life Education Caravan

We enjoyed two sessions with Teacher Lesley in the mobile clasrrom that has been parked at school. Our focus has been on being a great friend, team player and leader. We discovered that all the qualities needed for good friends are the same for the others! Harold was in the caravan too and he showed us a video. Lesley got us to play some games and to read our cards and she gave us a pack to take home.

STEM Challenge - Paper Bridges

We watched a video about bridges and it explained that various shapes give bridges strength and it challenged us to make a paper bridge that could hold a fair bit of weight. Together we worked together in teams of four or five to make our bridge using only paper, scissors, glue and cellotape. Some bridges were stronger than others but that gave us a chance to consider other ways to construct a stronger structure.

Our Temporary Classroom

We have had to move up to the staffroom until our class has been checked that it is clear of any nasty asbestos. While we are here, we continue to do lots of learning and growing together. Here is a photo of us doing some Kadinsky circles.

Our New Classroom

This week we had a BIG MOVE! Our Room 5 needs to be repaired so we needed to move everything from our classroom to our new room (Room 29). We are now happily settled and are enjoying the lovely view over the field. We have moved all the games and the library corner into the cloakbay area and our bags now hang outside on the deck. It hasn't takemn us long to find all our things so we feel totally at home!

Grandparents' Day

We loved welcoming all the wonderful grandparents whe were able to visit our class. It was a special treat having them at our school and we enjoyed doing some activities with them! Then they joined us for Folk Dancing out in the middle school and had some morning tea. Some of our amazing children featured in the Grandparents' Assembly and I'm sure all the grandparents were very happy to see the exciting things that take place at Point View School.
