Year 6 Production

A few weeks ago the Year 6 students presented an outstanding production about protecting our oceans. They worked hard and we were amazed by their talent. Some of the performers were from our buddy class and we enjoyed watching them share their learning with us.

Great job Year 6's!!!

What was your favourite about the production?

Queen Street Trip

Last week the Year 2 syndicate visited Queen street to hunt for signs and symbols. The street was filled with different signs and symbols which give people information, direction or warnings. We learnt that signs can be very useful and is used to communicate important messages in a quick way. These are some of the signs we found on our trip.

Can you spot what messages the signs are communicating?

Friendship Fred

Room 20 would like to introduce you to a special friend. His name is Fred and we are helping him to be a good friend.

As a class we brainstormed what makes a good friend and drew pictures to show Fred how he too could be a good friend.

We would like you to let us know what you think makes a good friend.

The National Anthem in Sign Language

We are learning how to sing the national anthem in New Zealand sign language. Did you know that New Zealand sign language is one of the official languages of New Zealand?

Last week we found out how to sign some of the words from the English version of the national anthem.

You can learn how to sign the national anthem with us.

Signs around our school

This Term we are learning about Communication. We learnt that this means to share information with someone. One of the ways we communicate is by using signs and symbols. Today we went on a sign hunt around our school and these are the signs we found.

Why do you think signs and symbols are such a popular way to communicate information?
