Week seven of Term 1

Week seven was full of anticipation for the arrival of Harold at New Brighton Catholic.
Siobhan and the Life Education team taught us about how we can keep both the physical and mental aspects of ourselves healthy. She taught us the key elements that we need as part of our journey of life. 

On Thursday we took our writing books out and went for a walk around the school to gather information. We learned about our school's history as well as new aspects of New Brighton Catholic. We will be using the information we collected to write reports. 


The members of room 2 in the cooking elective were able to use the create spaces in the new building. They used their culinary skills to make rice bubble slice! 

We finished the week with a visit from Harold himself and a dance party in the Harold bus! 


Haere rā,

Weeks 8/9 Term 1

Image
 Room 2 has been working hard in the lead-up to the Easter holidays!  Week eight:  In week eight we researched the history of our school to add detail to our reports. We were lucky enough to interview Ms Daines who had a lot of knowledge about NBC and its history.  We also took some time to read and explore the time capsule which was placed under the old school toilets in 1994. While we explored the time capsules, we took down notes in our books of important information to add to our reports.  Here are some of Room two's thoughts:  "I loved seeing all of the ways that NBC has changed" -Jacob  "It was cool to know what happened when other people were here and finding interesting dates" -Quinn  "It was cool seeing how NBC has changed and some of the connections we had to the people who wrote the time capsule" -Samuel  "It was interesting seeing what people in 1994 thought the future would be like" -Paige  "I enjoyed finding out the names o...

The end of term 1!

Image
The end of term 1 was filled with fun!  We had an educational and interactive time learning about food and nutrition with Brittany from Foodstuffs. This began with some learning in the classroom about the importance of reading food labels.  It was then followed up with a trip to Pak'n'Save where we could use our knowledge in the real world.    We were lucky to have another special visitor who taught the class about rhythm and decibels. This interactive activity helped us to expand our musical knowledge.  This term room 2 has been working hard to secure their class reward. After a lot of effort and time showing the school virtues and seeking excellence in our learning- we reached our goal!  The students voted for a blanket fort and PJ afternoon- It was a super way to end a fantastic first term. Ngā mihi,  Helena Pownall  (P.S Keep an eye on your mailboxes for a surprise Room 2!)
