Christmas Box Donation

Operation Christmas Gift -
"Open up a whole new life ... for a child in Papua New Guinea,
through the power of a simple gift."

Our  Bible in Schools teacher Mrs Mason asked our class gave a gold coin so that we could put some gifts together in a show box for a boy and a girl in Papua New Guinea to receive at Christmas.
In our box we had a Christmas teddy, a toothbrush, stickers, a skipping rope, a pencil, soap, a beanie. We felt good because our money brought the Christmas gifts and these children do not get any Christmas presents - but they will this year because of us!

ASB Getwise By Wyatt

On Monday  one of the ASB people came his name was Julian and he turned onto hard working Harry. And Harry told us what the money names are called around the world. One of the money was from India which was called rupee and the next money was from South Africa and that money was called rand.
We had to do 3 tests and we did the chant called "Save my money."
Harry was funny as! (: At the end Hard Working Harry turned back into Julian)
I learned that you should save your money " Spend some on you but save some too."

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Vector came to our school on Wednesday.

We now know how to be safe around electrical stuff. You have to turn the power off before you go near anything that is electrical and you wouldn't play around the electricity transmitters or you could get badly burnt like a boy did.

We are made of water inside our body and your body can conduct the electricity.

funny song and we could call out and interact with the people in the play.

Graeme Braddock Artist By Jasmine

On Wednesday we went to see Mr Braddock
and had lessons with him.The first thing we did was that we had to do was to plan out our drawing of the banana's, cabbage and apple. and put a mark where the begining middle and end of the picture was going to be.
Then we draw the sub shapes.
Next we drew the big shapes, this was called setting the limits.
Last we shaded where the shadows fell.
We all drew really good pictures and we all want to draw more.
 We asked Mr Braddock  some questions like what was the first picture you remember drawing?.Mr Braddock's first picture was a fat policeman.
I had fun doing art.
