Gingerbread House

Thank you Dylan and John for making a Gingerbread house for  us to share.   It was so pretty and colourful that it seemed a shame to eat it.   However, we didn't mind as it tasted so yummy.

Turbo Touch

We love learning to play Turbo Touch.  It is really fun.  We have been learning the rules.  We have to pass the ball twice before we can score a try.

 
You need to concentrate as you pass the ball.

You need to run and dodge the defenders.

 A try is touching the ball down between the cones.

ipads

In Room 4 we have been using the ipads to help us learn our maths.


We love learning on the ipads.  Sometimes we work on our own or we can use the ipad with a buddy.

11.11.11

Today we took a photo of our class at 11 minutes past 11 on 11.11.11.  We found out that this date is a 'repunit palindrome day', a rare event that will not occur again this century.  
We thought of some words that are palindromes: mum, nan, dad, anna, did.  Can you think of any more at home to share on the blog?

The Webb Ellis Trophy

Today we were very lucky because the Webb Ellis Cup came to Normandale School.  All the classes went to the hall to see it.  Our class had their photo taken with the Cup.  We felt honoured because we were one of the first schools to see it.  We dressed in black to celebrate.  Go  All Blacks!

Captain Cashtastic

Captain Cashtastic came to visit our school.  We were all very clever and helped him sort the coins and notes in the order of their value.

He was very funny especially when he pretended to be a superhero.  
We learnt that we need to ''speed to our needs'' and ''save for our wants.''

Australia Day

Today we had a Parade of Nations.  We dressed in green and gold, the colours of the Australian rugby team.  We had corks on our hats to keep the flies away while we showed our Aboriginal artwork and recited our poem 'Koala Sam'.
