Golden Time Endurance on PhotoPeach

Cross Country

Well done to those people in Room 4 who gave it everything on Friday. Congratulations Tae'O for your excellent effort.

RE this week

This week we have been learning about the ascension of Jesus. We watched a short video and make books marks of scripture to remind us of what Jesus said.

"I am with you always to the end of the age"

Can you create the ultimate healthy lunch?

The Health Promoting Team is running a competition to see who can create a really tasty, healthy lunchbox.  This competition is open to all Middle and Senior school students.  You will need to take a photo of your lunch, and write a paragraph to explain why you have chosen to include those items.

Send your photo and explanation to Mrs Todd at 

sherylt@stmarysrotorua.school.nz

Closing date – 28 May 2015

The winner in the Middle and Senior school will each win a healthy lunch provided by the school.

Good luck!!

WE ARE STILL SHORT OF PARENT HELPERS FOR THIS FRIDAYS CROSS COUNTRY. 

CAN YOU HELP?

Maths Work this week for the squares

We are working on multiplication and division in class. Some groups are working on one digit by two digit multiplication. Some groups are working on place value multiplication and this group is working on using repeated addition to multiply. We use collaborative boards to work together and to explain how we have calculated a problem.

Autumn Leaves

Fly little leaves flip and twirl prance and dance skip and trip float and play.

Scamper little leaves, trot all you want

fly,swing, tumble and fall

don't worry if you're better than me.

you can skip and trip which is ok

scamper play and float and flip.

Now the day is almost over

but wait there is still more

you can skip twirl trot and fall

for now its time to say goodbye

now the little leaves sleep in their beds till next summer

so now don't wake them

so “shoo shoo”

By Luuk

 Leaf poem

Play little leaves,

twirl and flip,

fly little leaves,

flip and twirl.

Dance and prance around the tree,

Tumble leaves tumble from the tree.

Come back to me.

float little leaves,

float in the water.

Skip in the log,

skip anywhere,

blow wind blow,

blow the leaves back to the tree.

By Ruby 

An Autumn Leaf Poem

Play little leafs,

dance and prance around the tree,

twirl and whirl skip and flip,

have fun in the rain but don't get ripped,

change into your dresses of red and gold,

float down to the meadow

land in the puddles

and make little ripples.

By Jaime

Mothers Day on PhotoPeach

In flanders fields where the poppies grow men once lay there killed by the foe.

Poppies are red the colour of blood blood that our soldiers shed fighting against the foe.

They marched the trenches side by side past all the men who had died.

Families and friends waiting at home for the men who never came back to them.

People are forgetting again i fear for the world.

I fear it will happen again.

By Luke Hall
