Learning about Food Pyramid by Mina

This term room 2 and my class is learning about the Food Pyramid. The food pyramid is all about what you should eat more and less. There are five groups all together in the food pyramid. The five groups are called Grains, Fruit and vegetables, dairy, meat and fish and Junk food. Grains is my favourite because in that group there is rice, bread, pasta, and porridge, the Dairy group got food made out of milk. Fruit and vegetables are what you should be eating more. We need meat and fish, chicken, eggs, steak and red meat to keep us fit and strong. We all love junk food and even adults like junk food as well! But we all need to eat less food like chips, takeaway, peanut butter, cookies etc.

Cleaning Around the school Field by Joel

On Monday, we went to pick up rubbish on our school field. First of all, we got plastic bags and put on gloves. Then we went to EWC 3 to get the other students. Next, we went out onto the big field and started on the right side near the gym. I picked up lots of rubbish and filled up a big bag. After a while we went up to the area where the new classrooms are and we picked up more rubbish. Lastly, we went to the bins next to the gym and put all the rubbish bags in there and went back to the class. I was surprised to see how much rubbish was there on the school field.

       

Te Taiao O Tamaki

For the past term in music, we have been practising the "Rivers of Tamaki", our school about the Environment. The original song is called "The Rivers of Babylon". It's not okay to drop rubbish in the waterways such as Rivers, Oceans, Forest and Lakes.

We're off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz......
as performed by the Royal NZ Ballet.
Students were treated to several exerts from the production of the Wizard of Oz including the Scarecrow, the Lion and the Tin Man as pictured above.
We also watched a couple of never before seen and original contemporary dancers that were really different and fun to watch.

The Maori Tiki by Nikhil

 What does it mean?

This symbol is unique to New Zealand specially.

It is usually made from Pounamu and is worn green stone around the neck as a good luck charm.

The Tiki is very popular and means the creation of new life.

It helps to clear their mind and learn.
