ART ATTACK!!

Check out some of the amazing art Room 12 have been doing. The classroom is really starting to liven up.













Humpty Dumpty Challenge


Last Friday we had an Egg challenge..... for some of us it was quite the challenge.... Poor old humpty cracked before some of us even made it out the door. But we all had a blast!!

We only had 15 minutes to create a devise to save humpty from cracking when he went down the slide. There were a few hurdles along the way..... the crack in the slide didnt help but there were a few eggs that survived..... and well..... I think the pciture says it all for the rest of our eggs.




After our challenge we wrote a recount about what happened. We are going to put these samples into our sharing books at our first written language piece for the year.

that was a great film

INTEGRITY

For those of you who can remember (because your brains hadn't been melted from the heat in the classroom) yesterday afternoon we started talking about Integrity and what it means to have Integrity. After lots of discussion we decided it means to tell the truth and to say what you mean, it means to be honest, loyal and trustworthy! Phewww that's a lot of thinking we did!!
I then asked you what you would do if you found some money under the slide in the playground. That stirred up quite the argument! But we eventually all agreed that the right thing to do (integrity) would be do take the money to office or tell the teacher, not too just slip it in our pocket without doing the right thing first.


TREMENDOUS TWELVE BLOG CHALLENGE
Imagine you had a thousand dollars, but
you couldn't keep it. You had to give it
away to a person or charity. Who would
you give it to? What would you want
them to do with it?

In central normal we know that wise means to take responsibiltys for ourselves and others actions

Central Normal School... Where the WISE kids are

Hi Team! This week we are going to start unpacking WISE and what it means to be a WISE kid at Central Normal School. What do you think WISE means and what kind of things do you do at School or even outside of school that make you a WISE kid?

Term One Week One...Over ALREADY!!

Wow what a great start to the year we have had! Hard to believe week one is over! In just a short 4 day week back at school we've been swimming, started reading, writing, maths, brightened the room with our Name Art and got stuck into our Learning Community Unit. Central Normal is where the WISE kids are and already we've started working together as a team (Whanaungatanga), being honest with each other (Intergrity), listening to each other (Showing Respect) and completing everything to our best (Excellence).
Im really looking forward to the year ahead of us.
