Well it’s the holidays already and before you know it it will be the start of Term 4. And you know what that means? Only 10 weeks to the end of ther year!!! Here’s a list of some upcoming events to think about over the holidays.

Speeches need to be written on cue cards and criteria has been sent home in Homework books. The Hillary Speech competition for finalist is in week 2 followed by the Kainui Speech Competition.

SPELLING BEE

This event is still being organised but is on in Term 4. If you go click on the link above you can go to the Spelling Bee page and access the words for the Newbury Spelling Bee.

HOMEWORK PROJECTS

The ACE Project was a great success and lots of fun. Photos from the ACE project and R5’s Photo Montages will be available for sale at Lamb and Calf Day. Photos will be printed out in colour on proper photo paper and signed by the photographer. I am currently working on a new project for Term 4 and will post information about it in the holidays.

BLOG MAKE-OVER

Mr B is currently giving the Blog a make-over (I get bored easy!!!) so expect some changes. If you check out the Blogroll on the right you will see I have listed a whole bunch of sites you can go in the holidays if you get bored. They are full of awesome games to enhance learning. Have fun, I quite often play round on them myself!!!! Elettra is the new P.O.W. (Awesome Elettra, you are da Bomb!!!!!)

Enjoy your holidays everyone, Term 4 is going to be extremely busy!!!

Well the Fair Go Ad Awards are on Tonight and we haven’t heard back from them. I guess this means we missed out on making it onto their show.

All I can say is not to worry as I thought our Fair Go Team did a great job and we had lots of fun making it. Also congratulations to the Schools who did get on, you must have done an awesome job.

Last year after the show they put the top 10 ads on their Website. So fingers crossed hopefully we can make it onto that.

The show is on at 7.30 TV one tonight, so tune in to see the winners.

Hey everyone, well would you believe it but it is the end of Term 3 already!! As always it has been extremely busy and I think everyone is looking forward to a well deserved break.

Term 3 started with Mr Baker and the Fair Go Team putting the finishing touches on their Fair Go Ad. Well Wednesday night is the Ad Show and we have not heard anything back. I think this means we have definitely not won but still could be in the running to get on the show. Last year my class got third and Fair Go did not ring us until the day before the show. So fingers crossed we still have a chance!!

It is usually about now that I make a Photostory of the Term that was. Unfortunately I do not have any photos from the Term as they were all stolen when our house got robbed.

Anyway before we can put our feet up and relax we have a busy week ahead. On Tuesday morning we are off to the Marae (By bus), Thursday is the Maths Road Show and Friday is a Dress Up Day (What you want to be when you get older). Hopefully Wednesday we make our TV debut on Fair Go.

Due to our busy week I think we will have our Class Auction on Thursday afternoon. I know everyone has been working really hard and are keen to spend their hard earned cash!! About now you might be asking what items are going to be available in the auction? Good question!! Well Mr B will bring a whole bunch of goodies but I would also like everyone to bring one thing from home to put in the auction. It could be something that you don’t want and think others would like. We will discuss this in class tomorrow.

Homework for this week is…… Zero!! Enjoy the week off, you deserve it!!!!!!!

Below is a Poll about what you are doing in the holidays. Please vote and leave a comment if you want to tell me what you are up too. Mr B is going to Hamilton and Auckland in week one. Nothing but Shopping and R and R.

Enjoy your Sunday, 5 days to go, see you tomorrow.

Check out some of our recent work on Crime in class.

Hello everyone, hope you are enjoying your weekend. Congratulations to Devlin for been named the new P.O.W, great to see a first time winner.

I have just been in class putting up your Wanted Posters and Shared Story and they both look great. Tomorrow I will not be in class as I am attending a Writing course in Feilding. Hopefully I can pick up some good ideas to bring back to school.

The R5 speech competition will be in the first week back after the holidays. That will be followed by the Hillary team and Kainui Speech Competitions. The Topic for the Speeches is as discussed in class ‘A person who inspires you’. For Blog Homework I want you to name the person you are going to write your speech about and list a few reasons why they inspire you. I look forward to reading your comments.

Mr Baker is putting his feet up tonight and is going to cheer on the Warriors to victory. See you all on Tuesday.

Check out R5’s collage ‘Wanted Posters’ and see if you can work out who these people are.

Hey everyone, Mr Baker is feeling better and will definitely be back at school tomorrow. We have got heaps of things to catch up on so it’s going to be a busy week. Elizabeth will announce P.O.W tomorrow.

Last weeks Blog Homework was to write a shared story and I thought you did an awesome job. This week in class we are going to take the story and add illustrations to it.

This weeks Blog Homework is to create your own original Superhero (crime fighter). You need to give it a name, describe its powers and write a little about it. Good luck, I can’t wait to see what you come up with.

See you all tomorrow!

Here are some photos from last week’s Basketball game that I forgot I shot. Go Newbury!!!
