Researching successful New Zealanders

This afternoon we spent some time in groups researching about successful New Zealanders.  We have been learning how to use key words to find out the most important pieces of information from what we read and write about the facts in our own words.  We used internet sites and books to search for new information.  

Calendar Art

Today we worked on our kiwiana art!  We are creating paintings that can be turned into calendars for our friends and families.  It has been very tricky trying to use a paintbrush to add detail to our pictures.

Cross Country

We had a great day at the cross country!  I was really impressed with all the children who tried their best and pushed themselves to their limits.  Room six had some great results.  Congratulations to all of the students who made it through to the South Otago Champs!
