Concert practise




We had a great time practising for the concert. Our friends from Room 2,3,and 4 came and watched. The children from rooms 2 and 3 did an awesome haka. Miss Moss and Mara sang together - they sounded awesome! Our singing was great and our friends gave us some great feedback. We all loved looking after Kaahuia

Mara TK (with Benny Tones) - On My Way



Miss Moss' partner Mara TK is a famous singer! Here he is singing with his friends in a recording studio in Auckland.
Mara is coming into room 15 next week to sing with Miss Moss and all the children. We are very lucky aren't we!

And here is a song from Miss Moss' band 'Jessie James and the Outlaws'

ANGILA - By Jessie James and the Outlaws

All Earth's (God's) Critters Lyrics

All Earths Critters

(CHORUS) All Earth's critters got a place in the choir

Some sing low, some sing higher

Some sing out loud on the telephone wire 

And some just clap their hands, or paws 

Or anything they got now. 



Listen to the bass, it's the one on the bottom.

Where the bullfrog croaks and the hippopotamus 
moans and groans with a big to-do 

The old cow just goes MOOOOO



The dog and the cat pick up they middle

While the honey bee hums and the cricket fiddles

The donkey brays and the pony neighs 

And the old coyote howls 



CHORUS


Listen to the top where the little bird sings 

On the melody with the high note ringing

The hoot owl hollars over everything

And the magpie disagrees


Singin' in the night-time, singin' in the day

Little duck quacks, and he's on his way 

The possum ain't got much to say

And the porcupine talks to himself 



CHORUS


It's a simple song of livin' sung everywhere 

By the ox and the fox and the grizzly bear

Grumpy alligator and the hawks above

Sly raccoon and the turtle dove. 


CHORUS

Chorus with clapping only
Last chorus with clapping and guitar

All Earth's (God's) Critters

Early Polynesian Life

Today Rachel who works at the Canterbury Museum came and visited us at school. She showed us some treasures and we learned how to use them.

Cricket coaching






Today we were lucky to have some cricketers come to school and coach our class. We had to keep our eyes on the ball, hold our hands like a cup and spread our fingers out. If we could catch the ball 10 times without dropping the ball then we had to throw the ball and see how many times we could clap before we caught the ball. Jamie caught a really high throw that one of the cricketers did.

We had a game of cricket. Some children were in the field and others batted. We all had a turn fielding and batting.

All children received a goody bag - yippee!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the Room 15 Dads. We hope you all have a great day!

Clay art




At discovery time today some children made clay tiles. Instead of the flat clay tiles that we made last term, some children decided to made 3D tiles. We are loving making korus at the moment. Check out these great art works!
