We have completed a range of tasks around this book including: Alliteration tasks, rhyming tasks, creating our own medicine and designing a new book cover.<br />
<br />
Our final task around this book was to create a storyboard of the main events in the book. As a class we brainstormed the key events. In groups, we drew a picture that showed our part of the book and wrote a summary of it. We then put this together to create a whole class storyboard.<br />
<br />
We then needed to bring our storyboard to life! We had to create a short skit, create props and costumes.<br />
<br />
Enjoy our performance of George's Marvellous Medicine.<br />

We did a fun matching activity about the marae so that we could learn the correct Maori words for the different parts of the day.<br />
<br />
We had to work together as a team to match the English word with the Maori word and the correct photo showing this part of the day.<br />

It focused on the pink and white terraces and eruption of Mt Tarawera.<br />
<br />
This particular performance focused on a lot of physical movement around the space, levels and voice.<br />
<br />
It was great for our students to see a different way of presenting information and how drama can take many different forms. It was very entertaining and funny too. (One of the characters even got Miss Farrant up for a dance at the end!)<br />
<br />
The drama group was made up of a range of students from different schools and ages who were keen to perform. I wonder if it inspired some of our students to do the same?<br />
<br />

<br />
He was a very hungry caterpillar who almost at the entire plant!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately he hatched from his cocoon overnight, but it was very exciting to see the beautiful monarch butterfly the next day.<br />
<br />
Thank you Milla!<br />

How lucky are we, having such skilled professionals coming and teaching us!<br />

The year 3's did their swimming sports at school on March the 14th. All of the student's did a fantastic job and should be really proud of themselves. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The year 4 student's competed in the Senior Swimming Sports at Okato Pools. This was their first time! It was a great day and they all persevered and had a lot of fun!</div>
<div>
Even Miss Farrant and Kath got wet, when they raced the year 7 and 8 students in the teachers vs students relay!</div>

This is a lot of fun because it means you have a buddy to come up with ideas with. The buddies both have to take turns writing and helping each other.<br />
We all wrote a story with the sentence starter: "As I walked through the forest I heard a noise behind me..."<br />
<br />
We were focusing not only on the writing skills, but also the skills to work together with others by taking turns and negotiating ideas.<br />
<br />
Come and have a look in our writing books to read our stories.<br />

<br />
In the Kauri Room we have been discussing why we get a long weekend for Waitangi Day and all about the importance of the Treaty of Waitangi. We will be exploring the importance of the treaty over the term.<br />
<br />
What sorts of things do you and your family do on Waitangi Day?<br />
<br />
<b>Waitangi Day is an extremely important day for New Zealand and it is a great opportunity to discuss the treaty and what it means to you and your family. </b><br />
<br />
Last year I was lucky enough to attend a Powhiri at Waitangi, as a part of the National Literacy Conference. This was an amazing experience to be at such a significant place in our country. If you find yourself up near Paihia and Waitangi, I highly recommend a visit to Waitangi. It is an extremely beautiful and special place and the learning is invaluable!<br />
<br />
Happy Waitangi Day everyone :)<br />
