Tabloids Afternoon

On Wednesday afternoon, the whole school headed out onto the field for a fun afternoon of tabloid sports.  Erin from Project Energise came in with heaps of fun equipment and taught our senior sports leaders how to run each activity. We learnt how to work as a team, with people that we might not have worked with before.
What a great afternoon!

Problem Solvers

This week we needed to put our problem solving hats on. Our problem was, we didn't know what to do with our sun hats. 

We started off the term by taking them home with us each day- then we had people not bringing them back.

We tried a hat box- it was great for keeping hats at school, but it wasn't really the best idea.

We tried naming our cubbies so we keep them there, but we didn't think they would be safe there overnight.

We thought of putting them on the floor under our chairs but then it would make our classroom look messy.

We were having such a hard time finding a solution that we even asked Mr Farthing for advice. He suggested hanging them up on the wire around the room and then we realised that Mrs Sayers was the only person who could reach them.

This brainstorming went on for a really long time and we came up with many great ideas but then also thought of why they wouldn't work.

We have finally come up with a solution that will get us through until the end of the year.... A hat wall!!!!!

We are very proud of ourselves for working through this problem and we think our hat wall is quite cool. 

PS- The hats are sitting on hooks, there is nothing stuck through them so no holes :)

Dan the Puppet Man

On Tuesday afternoon Teina was very lucky to have a visit from Dan the Puppet Man and all of his friends.

We met his friends who weren't following the road safety rules- and we had to help them remember how to be safe around the roads.

We had so much fun and picked up some very important messages
* When you are by the road, never ever run
* Always wear a seat-belt
* Before you cross the road Stop, Look, Listen and Think- Use your eyes and your ears before you use your feet. 
* If we are playing with a ball and it goes on the road- we must not chase after it, an adult can help us.

Thanks for sharing those important messages with us Dan,  now we all know how to be road safe!!

Koromatua's Got Talent

We are so lucky to have Koromatua's Got Talent back this year- thanks to Ms Shore organising it for us and giving up her lunchtimes to run the shows.

We have such a huge amount of talent here at Koromatua and it is great to have the chance to showcase this and build our confidence as performers. 

The videos are too big to upload :(

Art and Craft Week

We worked so hard and finally got our two pieces of art work done for our school Art day!
Art and Craft day was so much fun, we each had two activites to do and things to make- either card making, decorated biscuit, clay creations or embossed tinfoil.
Mrs Sayers was running the decorated cookie station (that's why that station features in most of the photos)

In the afternoon we spent some time down in the hall admiring all of the amazing artwork from our school- doesn't our hall look amazing?

Our art in progress

Next week is Art and Craft week. We have been working so hard on our pointillism art. Today we dedicated the whole day to it to make sure we get finished in time. They are looking fantastic- more photos next week of all of the finished pieces.

Games Afternoon

Room 4 has filled their marble jar for the third time this year! This time we were working towards a games afternoon and that is what we had on Wednesday afternoon.
Some people had games from home and then Miss Skynner taught us some  new ones as well.
We had a lovely afternoon playing games and working together to figure out the different rules.

We will try and fill our marble jar once more before the year is finished- this time we are trying to earn a Go Noodle afternoon :)
