Welcome to SUPER SHARP 7 week 9: 15th September - 19th September...

Hi all,
S.O.S - we will be making art out of recycled junk - I've decided we will make sock puppets - so please hunt out any SPARE odd SOCKS ;), buttons, stuffing to fill the sock puppets with.... (any sewing materials...as you can see from photo..this is what we're aiming for). 

Thank you to the children for wearing ODD SHOES on Friday and getting into the spirit of supporting a great charity 'CAMP QUALITY' -  for children living with cancer.
The conversations were great "Imagine wearing a high heel & a sneaker, I was going to wear my pink slipper & a pink shoe but my pink shoe was too small when I put it on, I was going to wear a stompy & a converse"...

 Spot the shoe owners...

Guess who??

Match the top half to the feet ;)

Wow ROOM 7 awesome effort! The children really got into this. I showed them a slideshow of my last camp - they were oohing and aahing! The children who go on camp really have such a good time - it's all about them being kids, trying new challenges, making new friends & HAVING F U N! I have enjoyed the 2 times I have attended camp as a companion & have been blessed.

Awesome moment - I showed the children a slideshow of photos I took when I was on camp. Kune kune pigs were on the slideshow and I asked the children if they knew what kune kune pigs were? I said they have the same name as the man who discovered NZ...I LOVE THE ANSWERS ...
"God" "Adam someone...." "Maui"  "Adam & Eve" "Captain Cook"

THE DAY IN THE LIFE OF A TEACHER - SO GLAMOROUS

 Measuring Isaac's very clean foot! We learnt a bit of a fact...that your foot measure should be the same measure as between your wrist and elbow. So the children used their rulers to give this a go. For the majority, this was true. 

 LITTER FREE lunch boxes - our new inquiry topic. For one day we saved the litter from our lunch boxes. Yesterday Esther from Enviro schools came in and with a group of children did an audit. 
We will see the results next week. 

 Going through the rubbish. Was a lovely job but someone had to do it! I was very impressed with the class - we watched a couple of you tube clips about the effect of litter on our world. Afterwards in a matter 5 minutes the children did a rubbish pick up around the school. The comments were fabulous "gee this string could strangle a bird" - "this could choke a hedgehog"...so they had taken on board what they had learnt from the clips.

Woohoo - Principal's award..Go Sam...

 MATHS - FUN FRIDAY - MEASURING...

We had to measure: Average Joe, Headless, Tailless & Mr Stretch snakes ;)

We estimated their lengths and then measured. How good were our estimates??

SHKHAN's JOKE book...Shkhan has been attending a writing group with our teacher aide Angie. On Friday Shkhan was up to the illustrating stage. Emma & Michelle kindly offered to help him do this - while they were outside Shkhan was talking about how they could mass produce his joke book and sell it (profits going to Camp Quality ;)

How cool is this....I found this on my desk one morning - hehe
