World War 1 Collectibles

Today I brought in some collectibles from ww1 the box that you can see is a box that was given only to the British Soldiers by Queen Mary on Christmas 1914 this box was my Mothers ancestors. If you lift the lid there is a little compartment in this compartment there would be tobacco, chocolate and a note. The pictures are postcards that would've been sent to people back home. There is a postcard with lots of men wearing the helmets of the Germans that the British soldiers had killed. By Maia Carrington 9CT 

Another Hot Friday!!

We have been learning to identify parts of speech in other people's writing. Today was a chance to create some "Memory Stickers"- posters for the classroom to help us remember them all. Well done 9CT it was another beautiful but HOT afternoon - great focus from you!! These will help all the classes!

Week 3 Friday Creativeness!

Today was a creative afternoon for Year 7 and 8 classes. We were creating stuffed heads to display with our term one goals. We know that good learners are really clear about what they are learning, why they are learning and what they will need to focus on next.

Special delivery today!

How many of you have "extras" in your letter boxes? This little guy was taking shelter in ours today, I really like weta and try to always rescue any that I come across. The Giant Weta is an endangered species...and also important food for Tuatara...which are endangered also - so that is a tricky situation!

This guy is a tree weta I am pretty sure, probably  just wishing his tree wasn't so wet!
