A STORY THAT SHOWS ONE OF OUR SCHOOL VALUES

HONESTY: The Honest Woodcutter

A poor woodcutter accidentally dropped his axe into the river. He was very upset, as he had no money to buy another axe. Just then a fairy appeared in the river holding out a golden axe to him. "I found this axe in the river. Is this yours?"

"That's not mine", replied the woodcutter. The fairy then brought out a silver axe. The woodcutter disowned this one too. Finally, the fairy held out a wooden axe.

Smiling with happiness, the woodcutter said, "That's mine. Thank you very much."

Measurement in Room 1

Over the last few weeks Room 1 has been exploring measuring length, weight and capacity. The students have loved having hands-on experiences. Here are some photos of weight and capacity measuring lessons.

Baking in Room 3

This week in Room 7 & 8 we have been looking at how when Kupe discovered Aotearoa he would have discovered many new animals such as the Moa and the Haast Eagle. For their writing they had to imagine they had sailed across the sea and discovered a new island with new animals, and use adjectives to describe the animals they saw. Below is one of the many imaginative pieces of writing that has been written this week.
