Final Awards Assembly

Today we had our final awards assembly where there were two members of each class receiving awards for Academic Excellence and Personal Excellence. The Year 5 and 6 children received their service to the school awards too. Our class eagerly waited for the announcement of the new deputy house captains for 2012. What a great way to end our year at school.

Our Summer Poems

On Tuesday it was the last day we had Mrs Browne in our class. We talked about summer and came up with lots of ideas. We turned our ideas into acrostic poems which we published on the computer afterwards. Merry Christmas Mrs Browne, we hope you have a lovely break.

SUMMER

Summer air, in the sun you and me

Under the sea seeing sea creatures

Making BBQs with my dad and

Making a ball to play volleyball on the sand

Every summer is so cool and

Relaxing in the shade and eating food, yum ice cream.

Super humid sunny hot days

Under a big umbrella listening to music

Melting ice cream as you wait

More of these hot days will keep coming

Every day is super fun at the beach and pools

Relaxation in the sunny hot sticky sun

Our NZ Habitat Dioramas

This term we have been learning about NZ habitats. We chose one and designed a diorama showing what we would find in each. Here are the pictures of our dioramas.

Performing Arts Festival

Last week a group of children from LZ19 participated in the Performing arts festival. We had two night shows and a matinee for some local schools.  It was great fun and an opportunity for the children to show off their talents in the choir, Korean and Chinese dances, line dancing and lots more.  Here are some of our photos.

Kids for Kids concert

This year the year 3 & 4 children went to the Kids for Kids concert in Manukau to sing Christmas songs with Suzanne Prentice. It was an awesome night. Congrats to the girls and boys who performed with her.

Habitat Poems

We have been learning about New Zealand's natural habitats. We wrote some acostic poems about them.

Fresh air surrounding you

Over there are our beautiful native birds

Rivers for the birds to bath in and drink from

Each bird can safely lay their eggs

Safely the eggs crack

Tourists watch and take pictures of the lovely birds.

By Akira.

Twirling water with pebbles

Hitting the sand for food

Eating krill for lunch

Crying, I can see a little blue penguin

Opening the new coast at the zoo

Ate a huge lunch for a big journey

Swimming with a cute seal

Tweeting birds, you can hear

By Faadhil.

High country, there are lots of Keas

In the high country there are blue ducks and geekos

Geekos hide under rocks

High country is an elevated land

Calling out for fun

Only the parrot, Kea lived there

Uses rocks for homes

New Zealand's high country

The high country is in the south island

Rocks and shingle

Your High Country!

By Ariel.

Night is a place of darkness

I love night

Giant dark sky

Hundreds of lights and rock

The best place for a kiwi

By Bahar
