Book Character Day

Book Character Day

Caleb, a Student in our room came up with the idea of having a Book Character Day.
Caleb and Paige were reading a Pixel Raider book and Caleb asked if there was going to be a Book Character Day, so they looked through a website to check but there was none. 

Caleb went to ask Mr Norman, and he thought it was a great idea to have a Book Character day so  Room 8 was given blank pieces of paper to make the poster's for Book Character Day.  
It was booked in for the Thursday the 15th of November, (a week after camp). 

When it was the Book Character Day, everyone was dressed up, and the main winner was Stanley but there were other winners. There was also a Sausage Sizzle on the same day!

Overall it was a fun day and even the teachers dressed up.

St John, Module: Responding in an Emergency

St Johns

On the 4th of September we were acquainted with Paula Hart. Paula works for St Johns, particularly in Schools. We were very lucky to have learnt about keeping people safe and healthy. 

Paula taught us how to do "DRSABCD", Paula also showed us how to deal with cuts. For this she taught us a jingle, it goes like this "Pack it, Wrap it, Raise it".

 We did role plays and word puzzles. Paula was a great help to us for medical reasons and keeping ourselves safe in an Emergency. we would like to thank you very much for giving us more knowledge 

DRSABCD (Doctor's ABCD) means:

Danger
Response
Send for help
Airway
Breathing
CPR
Defribulator

We are practicing the DRSABCD                             

                                                                      Here we are practicing bandaging cuts.

Giving back to the Community

Giving back to the Community

Recently we had the privilege to create puzzle pieces saying welcome in different languages. Some of these languages were: Samoan, Chinese, Filipino, Fijian, English, Tongan, Maori, Indian Punjabi, and Cook Island. We had to do a base coat and then another coat of paint and then we created the words and painted over the puzzle pieces with black. We had to make sure that you could not see the pencil underneath it or we had to do another layer (Term 2). Then when it was all dry our caretaker Henk took them to 126 on the Corner to put up in the hall. After the holidays we went down to 126 on the Corner to go see what they looked like all together (Term 3). The puzzle pieces were in order of the rainbow. The Community were there to celebrate the new look to the hall. They complemented us on the puzzle pieces and said that they looked really good.

Responsibility

Responsibility

Responsibility is our focus for Term 3. 
Responsibility means being reliable and trustworthy. 

Responsibility is one of our C.E.R.R values. We have four C.E.R.R values Compassion, Excellence , Responsibility and Respect. 

We have learnt not only to say what the C.E.R.R. values are about, but to put them into action. One way we are working on showing Responsibility in Term 3 in our classroom is having H.O.L (Hubs of Learning). These Hubs are Liturgical Leaders, Corridor Inspector, P.A. (personal assistant) for our Teacher, Health Team, Class Blog and Whiteboard manager, whereby it is our job to set up rosters and to help things run smoothly in our classroom.

Another way to show Responsibility is by taking responsibility for our own learning and showing excellence in our work.
