We all marked where we ended. We drew us in 100years in the future and 100 years back. We also did our Assembly item. We sang our Welcome song to the parents and we all sang our very own song for them.

100 days of learning

Today, July 22nd, is our 100th day of learning at Grey Lynn School. We invited all our parents to come into the classroom and share in our learning and do fun, 100th day activities with us. Our Kauri Team also set a challenge - We had to see if we could bring one hundred cans of food for the Auckland City Mission. We only had 2 days to do this and the Kauri Team only has 94 students in it. One day one we had about 70 cans of food, but by today - the 100th Day, we had 215 cans of food.

How awesome is that????

We made fairy bread with 100's and 1000's and got to eat it in the class. Yummy!

We also had to estimate how long the line of tinned cans would be and it was 16.4 metres long. 6 people won with a close estimate of 16 metres. They get to have some yummy Pebbles with their lunch!!!

We did an item called A Team called Kauri and we sang it to the theme from The Brady Bunch - which we know nothing about , but our teachers remember it from their youth.

Our day is still going on and we are busy doing 100th Day activities and having lots of fun.

Enjoy reading about our adventures in Term 3. There will be many!

What I did today at the 100th day at school

Today it was the the 100Th day at school.the Kauari team brought lots of cans all of them together was 215 cans.We did it for the poor hungry people.I brought 5 cans.OK I will stop talking about cans.After that I made some fairybread. It tasted really good. Then I took some chalk and took 100 steps outside and marked where I got to. Ooh yes and I had to estimate how long the cans were in a line. I guessed 5 times 209 1045 centimetres, but it was wrong. I didn't like the prize so I didn't care.THE END. by Malachi r8

Pisupo recipe

1 can of corn beef
1 onion
some rice

When my mom went to Wellington my dad and I stayed together at home.
We had my favourite dinner - pisupo - a nice kind of food I love to eat.My dad
had lots of fun with me. I did too. The next night me and my dad had to say good
bye because my mom was coming home, but when i went to bed my mom said I
will see him next time at school and she was right - so i'd have more fun with
him.

Antarctica....The heroes and what we learned.

At the beginning of Term 2 we started our KWL charts. We filled in what we thought we knew about Antarctica and then we filled in what we want to learn. Today we filled in what we had learnt. We then chose our favourite fact and recorded it using iMovie, WITHOUT Mrs Fale's help !

Mrs Fale did some tweeking at the end but that's okay.


Enjoy our recount about a favourite Antarctic fact that we learned this term.

Room 8

PS: There are only some of us in the movie because a lot of our class are off overseas on their holidays - early! Lucky them!

Keeping Ourselves Safe

The last two weeks of the term have been busy, We have been doing Keeping Ourselves Safe - a programme teaching us about how to be safe physically and emotionally. We talk about things like good and bad touching and being responsible for ourselves and others now that we are older. In order to feel really responsible Room 8 became parents to lovely, not so bouncy, baby biscuits.

Some students had just one biscuit while others were surprised with twins and even triplets.
The students must look after their bikkie baby for a week and and make sure their bikkie stays safe. There have already been a few accidents with some broken limbs, bodies, and a few close calls with a cat and a dog.

Read through the students accounts about their life with their bikkie.

Pictures to follow as family portraits are being taken!

Ricko's day - Kiamana's Baby Bikkie

Last night when we went to sleep Ricko wet his bed. Because he was so naughty I made him go to bed at 5:00 then I went to bed at 8:30. Ricko was crying so I gave him something to eat. Then he went back to sleep. When Ricko was awake he got ready and we went to school. I had a good time with Ricko. I can't wait until tonight to play with Ricko.

Cristiano and His Day - Raiden's Baby Bikkie

Last night at 12:00am Cristiano came into my room and caused havoc. He nearly got squashed 18 times!. He is still sleeping and has had a 7 hour go at Playstaiion. Cristiano is USELESS!. He slept 1 hour and got put to bed at 4:00. He slept from 11:00 to 12:00. Cristiano likes to eat eye pie and toad soda. He is DISGUSTING! For breakfast - slop, for lunch - bangers and mash and for dinner eye pie and slopcorn for a snack. He guzzles down toad soda and cup'o'gruel. He might prefer bug juice and green. Cristiano is a very naughty biscuit. by Raiden

10 Things you would never see in Antarctica.

We have been using the Thinker's Keys to learn how to think creatively about topics at school. This term we have focused on the challenges an Antarctic Hero would face.
This week we looked at the The Reverse Key. This key challenges us to reverse our regular way of thinking.

Our challenge was to list 10 things you would never see in Antarctica.

Everyone had to write 10 and then choose their favourite to add to the blog.
Enjoy!

Visit of David Hill

Yesterday David Hill came to Grey Lynn school to share his stories with us. First he told us a story that happened to him when he was eighteen. It was about him (of course) when he went to a dormatory school. He slept in a room with four other boys. One night he went to sleep with his hands behind his head. In the night he suddenly woke up there was a human hand lying on his pillow. He jumped up in fright and his friends woke up and he told them " There was a human hand on my pillow" and his friend said decribe the hand. "it was blue like my p.j's colour". It was probably your hand said his friends. He wrote a book about it.

We learned that you can get stories from anywhere and everywhere.

Matthew&Raiden the fantastic writers.

Cross Country

Well Cross Country is over and we all did our best to achieve our goals. Some of us even placed in the top 10. Wherever we came, our goals kept us going and we are very proud of ourselves for keeping the positive, sporting attitude.

We then got to draw ourselves at that beautiful finish line. We hope you like our Cross Country self portraits done using Kid Pix.

Geometry Hunters

One of our Maths Strands this term is Geometry. Shapes are shapes. A square has four sides, a circle is round, and a triangle has three sides...

We wanted to take a new approach to shapes...get excited about shapes...know that there are not just straight squares in this world !

We looked through the playground and the fields to find how shapes occur naturally.

Have a wee look at our Keynote and see if you can find shapes in nature!
