Bye Bye from Jamie

Well done room 4!

Well done on all your brilliant speeches, I really enjoyed it and hope that next time you guys do them I can come and watch again. Have a good holiday and be good for Mrs Hansen.

Speech Presentations
Today we presented our speeches.
We had lot of different topics... dinosaurs, spiders, thunder and lightning, our pets, butterflies, motorhomes, Ben 10, music and annoying BIG sisters! (Just to name a few).
Mrs Hansen was soooo impressed with the way we presented our speeches in front of our class, and all the parents that came and listened too. It was scary for some of us, but we gave it a go and tried our best. We were very good at using our cue cards and some of us even added some awesome actions!
Thanks to our audience- you were great!

MAKING SCARECROWS

Problem: Birds were eating our vegetables and seeds in our garden

Solution: To make our own Bird Scaring devices.

We all designed our own Bird Scaring device and then choose one design to make in our buzz groups. 5 buzz groups made Scarecrows and 1 buzz group made bird feeders to fill the birds' tummies.

We still haven't finished them quite yet, but we are working on them. Here are some photos to show what we have done so far.

COMMUNITY HELPERS/ ENVIRONMENTALISTS

We have been learning about how to volunteer in our community to help look after our Environment and even volunteered ourselves!

WEEDBUSTING AT MANAPOURI

Room 4 went and helped to 'Weedbust' Broom and Cotoneaster at Manapouri. We pulled and pulled with all our might and made a humongous pile of weeds!

COMMUNITY GARDEN

Te Anau has a new Community Garden and we visited it. We listened as Annie Roska told us about all the different ways people can volunteer at the Community Garden. Then we volunteered too! Guess how we helped!

Woof! Woof! Woof! This is cool!
