Weekly Update Week 7

Hello everybody, Sorry for the delay on posting, Today I am going to tell you about what happened this week.
14/6
This week some cool events happened. Firstly, this school called Middleton Grange came to the hall and they performed some music and singing. It was a bit loud but enjoyable. At the beginning something was wrong with the speakers because it started making this super loud weird noise.

`

For the Spellathon we think that we won the big PIZZA prize because we are almost completely sure that everybody brought in their fundraising money. First class to bring all their money gets the pizza! One thing I think I have to work on is making my mathematics work tidier so then the teachers can mark it.

This week we started working on our finance business plans in the Batten Team. I am working with Simon and Isla and we called our Business ( The Luck Shop ) and it is going to be really cool! We hope to sell all our products.

See you next time!

Weekly Update Week 4

24/5/2019

Hello readers
This week we had a Mary slideshow, and it was really cool because we learnt a lot more about Mary than we did two weeks ago! For instance we learnt that Mary had a baby at the same time as her cousin Elizabeth. Also When Mary and Joseph presented Jesus in they temple it was Simeon. Also this week we had another day of winter sport! It was fun because we were playing hockey and the sun was shining not like last week when it was raining and we could not go. The only bad thing is that we lost three to six it was quite sad. There are eight people in our team including Simon!

Also for inquiry I built a Tuna Townhouse for the eels to hide in and go out to hide from predators.

Also later today some ASB people are going to visit us before the next global play day.

That's all!

Weekly Update 2019

17/5/2019

Hello,

This week was another week full of stuff for us! We read some more of our Fish in a Tree book. We were meant to go to winter sport but it rained so we could not go yesterday. It started raining when we all went outside to listen to the Deputy Headmistress's speech about respect and rules and listening to the coach and a lot of stuff we should listen to.  But the Hockey team did not need to hear it because we did not go to Hagley park.

We are also having Pink Shirt day today!! We took a photo of almost all of us because some of us did not have pink shirts on. Also The Fish in a Tree book started to get really interesting and we are supposed to go on Twitter later this morning to do a quiz about the last few chapters we have read. We are also having another Global Play Day after the School Pink Shirt day photo!

For the Global Play Day I brought my UNO and my perfect condition playing cards; and this stress ball that is shaped like a shark and changes colour when you're hands are hot or cold. So it basically detects your stress. Then after that we are going to do our inquiry and we are finishing the eel action today!

Weekly Update Term 2

10/5

Hello this week we did a lot of cool stuff, and it was exhausting!
We did the Catholic sports tournament and we skipped lunch and played hockey for about two hours!

On Wednesday there was Cross Country!
I think I might've come 5th or 6th I do not know.
The Rutherford team got to stay at school until 10 past 10 in the morning.
It went from the Year 7 and 8s to the New entrants run.

Here is a photo of me sprinting after the person in front of me.
The 5 year old's were last to run and it took forever to finish.

End of term reflection

Hello everybody this is my end of term reflection!

This term we did some really cool stuff. The highlight for me for this term was the Caritas challenge day!  The other stuff we did was really fun as well but the most fun for me was The Caritas Challenge Day.

We did.

• Spheros
• Cycle Safety for the Yr 6s
• Eels trip
• Science in a van
• Korfball 
• Swimming Sports 
  
  
• Phil and Janet's Visit
  
• Global Play Day
  

I loved this term in lots of ways but Spheroes and Caritas challenge day were my favourite. I enjoyed Spheroes a bit more than the Caritas challenge day. Because Mrs O' Neill got out a mat in the shape of a town and we could drive them around on them. Janet and Phil talked a lot to us about what it was like living in South Sudan. And the play days were fun because we were interacting with each other.

I am really looking forward to next term Because we have Cross Country! We have to run just under 3 kilometres.

Holy Week

This week we have been learning about Holy Week and remembering what Jesus went through before he was crucified.

I have learnt that the last Sunday of Lent is now called Passion Sunday not Palm Sunday. This is because it is the Sunday leading up to Passion Week and we are remembering the Passion of our Lord.

This is my learning from the week.

Caritas Challenge Day!

Friday 5th April

Hello everyone. Yesterday we did a Caritas challenge day! The highlight for me was we got to build houses out of cardboard! And then at lunch time we got our bowls out of our bags and formed a queue to get half a bowl of rice. But the only bad thing was that we had to eat it with our hands because we did not get any utensils. It was interesting that the house took so long to finish. But when we did someone would bump the walls and the roof would fall in.
