Halloween fun in our classroom

Last week we had lots of fun while interacting with a good witch who came to visit us on Halloween day. We had to say: " Trick or treat smell my feet give me something good to eat"  and than we were given some sweets. Yummy!

Ball dancing in Room 10

We all enjoyed the visits from our dance therapist Allie every Thursday. Besides other activities she thought us the steps to dance the Waltz.
 Isn't it amazing that now we are able to bow to ask our teacher for a dance?!
We had  such a great time while dancing and filming this great experience. We would like to share these special moments with you so enjoy watching this unique movie.

This video would never have been completed without the lovely teacher Michelle next door who was the director, editor and publisher in one.

Thank you Michelle!

The Film Festival at Hoyts

We participated at Sylvia Park School's special event called The Film Festival. Every class  made a video showing  how we cope with changes. In week 8 of  Term 4  SPS classes had the opportunity to watch all the movies on the biggest screen at Hoyts Cinema. There was a red carpet set up for us to walk on.
Some students even enjoyed La Premiere seats while watching themselves at the cinema!

Mostly we don't like changes but what we really like is learning in a changed learning environment.
And that's what our movie was about.


Art with Gabrielle

In Term 3 we  learnt some new techniques that our art teacher Gabrielle showed us .
Check out what  awesome pictures we created.

Pigeon Mountain trip

On Monday 15.04.13 our classroom went on a school trip to Pigeon Mountain located in Half Moon Bay. We climbed up to the top and had a nice view of Rangitoto Island, Sky Tower and One Tree Hill. Just across the road there is the  pukeko reserve. We enjoyed watching pukekos who came up very close expecting us to feed them. We had lots of fun sliding down the giant tunnel slide, swinging and playing on the playground. At  lunch time  we went to Cafe  A&J down at the Half Moon Bay marina and our students were given a hot chocolate by the lovely owners. Yummy!!!
What a great day! We were learning while having fun!
