The Results are in....

Our homemade,handmade, recycled and well planned efforts paid off...and we placed a respectable 2ND place in the Scarecrow competition. St Joseph's, Grey Lynn came first and Westmere placed third.

We are really pleased to have won 2nd place as the scarecrows were all created by the children. 

The Scarecrows all come back to school next week and we will work with Dean and the Forest Team to place them around the school!

There are some cool photos on the classroom window if you would like to see them before their return!

Well done Room 14 !

Room 14 Scarecrows

Hi everybody! Do you want to hear about how room 14 designed their own fabulous...scarecrows that went to a competition and went to compete with other schools? Yes ?  I knew you would say that. Now first we had to split into 6 groups out of the whole class. When we were finally sorted into our groups we had to put our ideas together. Then we had to draw our ideas together. Once that was all pushed aside our group shared our hard work to the class. You don't know what's going to happen later in the story. Just that very second day people had already brought things in for making our big scarecrows. Day after day the pile got bigger until all of us were ready to start cracking. We used old clothes, silky materials, string and other stuff. It was cool to see how other people could use there imagination and be so creative. By Friday these awesome things were ready to go to the competition and hopefully win. They are now at the plant nursery, Gardenco Plant Market on Great North Road. You can pop down there and have a nosey and see all of ours, and other school's designs.
