So much on today!!
First thing this morning we had Kuranui College students come and coach us. We split into T-Ball, Touch Rugby and Hockey. Then we had assembly, thanks Room 9 for a great assembly. Joseph and Femke received highly commended certificates for their swimming pool mural competition.
Then we worked our pet day art/alliteration poems. It's PET DAY TOMORROW! Everyone is excited about bringing their pets to school.
Finally, if that wasn't enough....we had Carl Everson from the New Zealand band 'Fourmyula' formed in 1967. Their most well known song is 'Nature'. The song was written while members we sitting on the back porch listening to the sounds of nature. Carl showed us his talents playing the harmonic and the guitar. He sung a variety of songs, but the highlight was singing along with Carl...and of course the song was 'Nature'. Thank you Carl, for sharing your experiences with us.
Keep an eye out tomorrow for photos of Greytown School's Pet Day 2012

Today we started a new reading programme, the Red Reading Box. We learnt how to set it up and had a trial of one of the text. We each completed one card.
This morning the Kuranui Coaching students came to take us for Soccer, Touch Rugby and T-Ball.
In T-ball we learnt to make sure that you stand on the base when you catch the ball and then the person who hit the ball will be out. In Soccer, had a game of soccer, one thing the coach told us was to pass the ball forwand so that the next player runs on to it and in Touch Rugby, the coach told us to pass the ball often and down the line.
We came up with our inquiry BIG question which is, "What are the historical, social and cultural aspects that make New Zealand music unique?"

Today learnt about what our new inquiry topic is going to be, which is the History of New Zealand Music. Firstly, Miss Pearse put up on our Inquiry wall a sheet of gift wrap with jandles, chocolate fish, sheep, kiwifruit, and other kiwiana. Then a bag with a picture of a gramophone and old records. On stickies we had to guess what our topic might be about.
We need to decide on a FAT question for our inquiry. Some of our questions were Fat, some were skinny or closed. Tomorrow we will have our BIG question.

This morning we had assembly. Our school band played 3 songs and 2 members from our class spoke about the Envirogroups Swimming pool project. The Envirogroup have an art competition to design a mural for the swimming pool fence.
This afternoon was science and arts rotation. First we had science, we did an egg in vinegar expeiment, the egg shell disolves. Why does the egg shell dislove? Because the vinegar disolves the calcium in the shell. Then we had drama and played I love you honey, but I just can't smile and Simon Says.

Our day began with our You Tube of the day which was about Oliver the dog.
For writing we did an experiment with a candle. We lit a candle and then discussed what we knew about candles and flame. We knew that flames need oxygen. Then we placed a large jar over the candle. After a small time the candle went out. The candle went out because there was no oxygen left inside the jar.
We started writing an Explanation. An Explanation tells you how or why something occurs.
