The highlights of this term are…

Term 2• In Term 2 there were lots of fun and exciting

things happening like;• Circus Workshop• Maritime Museum Trip• Philip Dadson Visit• Beach Clean up• Performing Arts Evening• Our Marine topicEnjoy learning and watching this power point!

Circus Workshop• We had George and Lil, circus

performers come and teach us circus tricks. They also performed a show in front of the whole school.

• They did very well and we enjoyed watching and doing it. We wrote a recount about it (on wiki).

Maritime Museum Trip• For our trip this term we went to the Maritime

Museum. We went there to learn lots of things about the marine environment and the changes in them.

• We had lots of fun looking at the artworks, galleries and our favourite was going on the Ted Ashby boat!

Philip Dadson Visit• Philip Dadson came to our school

for a visit.• He taught us how to make easy

music by lost and found things. He also showed us types of music and important facts. He is a very creative musician and an artist.

• He was important to us because he is one of the 9 artists who want the Kermadec Islands to become a marine reserve.

Beach Clean up• The Student Council organized a Beach Clean up on Sunday

at Okahu Bay.• It related to our topic because our topic this term was about

the marine environment. It means our school became some help to the marine environment and the creatures!

• I wish I was there!

Performing Arts Evening• On Thursday night it was

Performing Arts Evening!!• Lots of groups performed

including Kapa Haka, Dance Group, Chinese Dance Group, Glee Group, Ukulele Group, Rock Band, Senior Choir and more!

• It was a really exciting night! I enjoyed enjoying all the different groups perform!

Our Topic this term• Our topic this term was about change

throughout everything but mainly the marine environment.

• We wrote narratives about our chosen marine creature, made a power point (on wiki), wrote a definition of change, watched lots of BBC clips of the marine environment and did more and more. We learnt a lot about the marine environment and I look forward to be able to present some facts.

• Marine creatures could become extinct in our life time if we don’t start caring for them.

• The Maui’s and Hector’s Dolphins, Albatrosses, Blue Penguins and other whales could become extinct in the next 50 years. We need to start caring for them NOW.

Thank you for watching!!
