OLYMPIC DAY


On the 8th of August Greenpark had their Olympic Day Parade. Room 14 was representing Germany. We had a lot of fun painting our faces, making our flags and dressing in the colours of the German Flag. The whole parade was outstanding with every class looking amazing.

TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGE

The Taranaki Syndicate have begun to do a technology challenge every second Friday as part of our topic. This time we had to design a rain coat out of 6 plastic bags, 1 pair of scissors and 2 metres of cellotape. We had a lot of fun designing in groups. Next we had to walk the catwalk in our rain coats. Once one from each class was chosen Mr Dickie got to test them with the fire hose!!!

Room 14 won the first technology challenge with this great design by Katarina, Emma, Kaitlyn, Madison, Alyse and Nicola. Well done guys!

GYMNASTICS


Room 14 has jsut finished their Gymnastics for this term. We went to the hall each day and completed a rotation learning all about balance, tramoline, floor routines and other fun activities.


We loved gymnastics and would like to say a huge THANK YOU to Mrs Pearce who made sure we learnt as much as possible about gymnastics in the short time we had.
