River Clean-Up.

After Mass today, our community got behind our school's river clean-up. Room 1 knows they are responsible for looking after God's creation, and today showed just what that means to them.

  

Get NZ Writing!

We have been a part of a nationwide scheme to get kids writing. Our first task was to write a class ‘colour’ poem.
We selected the colour BLUE and every student wrote one line, containing the colour, on a strip of paper. We then stuck each strip of paper to a shared surface and read out loud as ‘a poem’. Together, we proposed changes and reordered the strips of paper to make the poem ‘better’ (editing).  Reasons were encouraged like “it sounds better” (rhythm) and “it creates a better picture” (imagery). Then we gave the final poem a title. Read it aloud here. It is fabulous!
