This term we have been learning how to be Firewise. We made these video's to show our Firewise messages. We used puppets to show how to Get Down, Get Low, Get Out FAST! We used telephones to make practice 111 calls. We made a poster to show how to stay underneath the poisonous smoke to get out. Enjoy the video.

Week 10 Term 3

This Thursday we are doing the real Cross Country. It is starting at 11 o'clock and finishes at 12:30 in time for lunch. On Thursday morning we will have our 3 minute Basic Facts Challenge so all of the yellow cards need to be back on Thursday morning. Keep practising at home every night this week to get faster and better. Junior Choir has been invited to sing at this Friday's assembly at about 2:10 so if you missed us at the Lake Wanaka Centre you can come and watch. Wendy, Marj and Jo thought that we sang splendidly last Wednesday night. Two weeks to until the holidays. Dont forget to have a go at leaving a comment on our Blog. Bye from Room 10.

EOTC Bike Skills Day

We started our 'Bike Skills' day off with a technology challenge. The children had to work together in small groups to make a bike. The only things allowed were newspaper, cellotape and lots of imagination. Skills needed were problem solving and cooperation to roll, fold, twist and join the paper to make the shapes needed for the bike.

EOTC Mt Iron Walk

What a beautiful winter's day to walk up Mt Iron. Pod 3 & 4 children put in a great effort to complete the walk. Well done guy's!
