Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution Day

The school participated in the Jamie Oliver Food Revolution Day on May 15. This is a global event to help educate children on healthy eating, this year the children made Jamie's nutritious 'Smash It' sandwich. The students had a great time preparing fresh fruit and vegetables for their sandwich. The sandwiches were yum! 

Here are some photos of our class enjoying themselves.

A huge thanks to Mrs Morrison for her idea and organisation.
Delicious vegetables and fruit.

This is how you do it.


One for me and one for you.

I'll cut and you pack.

Nice and small pieces please.

I'm the cutter you just watch.

Smash it!

Just one more handful.
Looks delicious.

Yum!


Yes, doubly yum!

That's for sure!

TIRITIRI MATANGI

We had an outstanding day at Tiri. 

The Tui class loved looking at their namesake as well as the many other beautiful birds that reside on this magical island. 

The day finished with a beach clean up at Hobbs Beach, we collected plastic, fishing lines and glass.

Origami - Bontuko High School

The Year 1-3 students were being taught origami by the Japanese exchange students from Bontuko High School. We made paper darts, Japanese Cranes and lots of other wonderful items. Everyone enjoyed themselves.

Class play - Jolly Roger and the Coconuts

Last Friday Group 1 did their play in front of the class. They did really well, I was so proud that they learnt their lines without using the book, plus they also wore and used props. Go you fledgling thespians!

Road Safety

How to cross a road.

The Tui and the Pukeko Class were learning about road safety. We learnt to use our ears and our eyes when crossing the road. Mr Donovan showed us what to do and then we had to cross by ourselves. It was a bit frightening but we all made it across the road and back again. Yay.
Stop, watch and wait.

Cross now.

Look first.


Here comes a human car!

Good looking and waiting.

Class Play - Peter and the Wolf

Welcome to Week 6


It is hard to believe but we are already half way through Term 1.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf
Attached are some photos of some students from the Tui class doing a class play called 'The boy who cried wolf'. The acting students did an excellent job, I was particularly proud that they didn't need to rely on their book and had rehearsed their words.
It is a great play with a very good theme/moral that was discussed in the class.

Enjoy the photos.

Father and boy.

Wolf!

Oh no! Dead sheep!

Tui Class

TUI CLASS


Students from the Tui Class 2015

Dear Parents and Friends,

Welcome to the first Tui blog, we hope that you like it.

We are called the Tui's because we are talented, smart and beautiful just like our native Tui bird. Some of us can even sing, and sound just as lovely as a Tui. In addition, we are kind, caring young people.

This blog will show some of the wonderful things that we are doing in  the class, it will also include photos of us working hard and having fun. Hopefully we can also include video's of our class plays.

I suppose we had better get on with it.
