Materials needed:

Room 6 would really like some recycled boxes/packaging for construction (boxes, cardboard rolls, clean containers).

Also, for our upcoming collage unit we would like suitable materials - fabric, fabric samples, wallpaper, cardboard, magazines, newspapers. Closer to the time (term 4) we would like to collect natural materials for our collage projects too.

Please bring anything that you think would be suitable in to us and we will find a use for them.

Thanks in advance.

Matariki celebrations - 

This Wednesday 17th June.

5:30pm-7:00pm

Bring a plate of food to share.

Bring your whanau.

Matariki - Maori New Year - begins every year as the Matariki constellation of stars becomes visible again after a short disappearance from the night sky. This usually occurs near the end of May or beginning of June. It is also thought to begin, more specifically, at the new moon after the constellation becomes visible again.

We have been looking at the phases of the moon and have a homework activity where we record when we see each phase of the moon.

Some words that we have been using:

lunar/lunar cycle

crescent

gibbous

waxing and waning

solar

Fabulous writing by Jack:

A spa bath is a great place to be in this weather, Jack.

The Mediators Roadshow:

We learnt:

• Who the mediators are;
• when we can find them;
• where we can find them;
• how they can help us;

The 4 rules of mediation:

• no interrupting;
• you have to agree to solve the problem;
• be as honest as you can;
• no put-downs.

Thank you to the 2015 mediators. Room 5 and 6 really enjoyed the show and activities.
