Inquiry

Our inquiry topic this term is ‘What makes a Kiwi Inventor?’. This week we have been doing some Finding Out and Sorting Out activities. We watched an episode of Let’s Get Inventin’ where Josh made an invention to help him feed out on the farm more easily.

We then spent some time making our own inventions on the Let’s Get Inventin’ App on the iPads. It was really fun and awesome to see all the great ideas everyone came up with. The Middle Room students are very creative! Our next step will be choosing a topic for our individual Going Further projects.

Self Portraits

At the start of the term we did some writing about our holidays. We chose two main things we wanted to tell each other about. To go with our writing we decided to do some self portraits. We had to make sure we used up all the space on the paper and it was in the middle of our page. We used pastels or coloured pencils to finish our beautiful artworks and made them colourful. Finally we had to stick on some giant sunglasses that had pictures of the two activities we had written about.  They are now up on our wall beside our writing so come and check them out.

Don't they look great!

Small School Athletics

On Monday the whole school attended the Small Schools Athletics at South Otago High School in Balclutha. We were lucky with the weather- the sun even made an appearance later in the day! It was great to see all the children giving it their all. Well done to the children who qualified for the South Otago athletics in a couple of weeks. Thanks to all the parents for coming along and supporting your children.
