Hamanatua Stream

This term our inquiry topic was actions speak louder than words. Since my class looks after the Hamanatua stream we decided that we wanted to make that area better. Then we brainstormed in class until we came up with 6 ideas.

Then we split into each group and started taking action! My group was a mural group. We kept sending messages to the council but unfortunately our mural idea got shut down due to safety reasons. So we then sent them another idea but we haven't got a response, fingers crossed!

Bye!

A Surprise Visitor!

Today Meng Foon the mayor of Gisborne came to our class. This happened because we canceled our open day down at the hamanatua stream but he came to talk to us and see what we had done anyway.  When he was here we answered his questions about how it all started, and what we had done in the pass few weeks.

Here is  a photo of us with his.

Talent Quest!

 Yesterday, my school had a talent quest. The talent quest is a show we do where anyone can have a go, we had piano players, singers, dances and videos too just to name a few acts.
  If you have a talent then the talent quest is your time to show it. In the talent quest, I did two dances. I am apart of the jump jam team and we performed really well, in our dance. The second dance I did was a solo to fight song. It went really well too, and I hope you enjoy the photos from yesterday.

My Speech

This term we had our year 3-6 speech competition. How this works is that you say your speech to your class and if your class has year 5-6's then you need to go into the semi finals, (only 5-6's) if you make it pass the semi finals then you go into the finals. There are 4 trophies one for year group.

My speech made it into the semifinals, but sadly it didn't make it into the finals. My speech was on leadership, because our speech had to link up to actions speak louder than words. Here is a copy of my speech hope you like it.

Cross Country

2 weeks ago, our school did the cross country race. Which we train for during school hours. I was very pleased with my placing, I came 7th out of 30 girls. I am glad that I did as well as I did because, running long distance isn't very easy for me, but I trained really hard and it payed off.

Colour Day!

Colour Day, was a day when the teachers from each class had to pick out a colour from a box and the class would wear the colour. We got PURPLE!
The point in colour day was to raise money for Plannet Sunshine the childrens ward at our local hospital. Everyone who dressed up brang a gold coin donation. We raised $310 to go towards a playground for Plannet Sunshine.
