Daffodil Day

Our school celebrated Daffodil Day with a coin drive and face painting.
Here are a few snapped by some of the students:

Room One has made some stunning daffodils which we are looking forward to sharing at Assembly next week so make sure you pop along and see it.

Inaugural Digi Awards

Tonight was the very first Digi Awards for the Matamata Cluster.
It was an amazing night showcasing the children's ICT talents from across nine schools.
Each school selected their top entries in each category and then invited judges narrowed it down to finalists within each age group and category.

Room One had three children reach this stage of the competition and we would like to congratulate them for their efforts:

Digital Photograph Yr 1-3
- Louise for "Mirror, mirror, moo cow"
- Louise for "Just one more bite"
- Bradley for "Two monkeys on the monkey bars"

Digital Photo Story Yr 1-3
- Fleur for "Magnolia Life Cycle"

We are very proud of all the fantastic digital work that all the children in Room One created. If you have time we would love you to pop in an admire our Wall of Fame.

Cross Country

What amazing runners there are in Room One.
Every single person in Room One ran their absolute hardest and achieved amazing results. I am so proud of each of them and it was wonderful to hear Lee saying what speedsters they all were because she gets to see children from all different schools run.

Reading Fair Ideas

Thank you to all the children who have chosen their book for our Reading Fair - only four more to go.

We need to give how we want our display boards to look some thought.
Here are some ideas to think about over the weekend:

The beginning of our Pop Art adventure

We started an art project today which will demonstrate some of our maths knowledge once we're finished. To get started we needed portraits of ourselves choosing either a silly or sensible face.

Can you guess which option was more popular?

Travelling back in time to Katikati Museum

Yesterday our whole school drove across to Katikati Museum. We had a brilliant day experiencing what school and life was like 100 years ago. We even got to dress up which was lots of fun.

School life

Different machines and tools

The telephones of old

We played lots of games

The cheeky boys and the sweet girls

Fun times with friends

Think about a time you have had fun playing with friends?
Where were you?
When was it?
Who was there?
What did you do?
What made it so fantastic and how did you feel?

Here is a collage of pictures showing children playing together to help get you thinking.
