Market day!
First we learned about money and good ways to keep it safe. We got our bank books and decorated them. We earned Sumner School fake money. Then we banked our money in our class bank. Next we got into groups and brainstormed ideas that we could make for our product. We choose the top three items and shared them with the class! After carrying out a survey, we choose what we were going to make and we started making our product.We bought all our materials from our shop for our product. We also had to make our posters to advertise our products. When we had finished making and advertising our product we had a humongous market on Wednesday. We could buy lots of things such as jewelry, pet rocks, snow globes and more. We timetabled who stayed at the stalls and who could go shopping. Some groups provided a service. There were competions and much much more. Most of us made a profit but some, sadly did not! The day after the market was called profit day! We could choose how to spend our profits. For most people it was a fun way to learn about finances. One group learnt a big lesson. Be careful who you go into business with.
These first photos show the children making their products.

Exciting birth story's and Music
In room 9 we are writing birth story's for little booklets of our own.We had to plan it and then write it. when we finished that, we published it on a nice copy and if we finished we would do another sheet of feedback.
We did birth story's because we want people to know more about us. Also when we are older we will still know what we were like when we were younger. We can keep going and filling it in. Other people can read it. Hopefully it's very special to us and our work is not wasted. It could be a life story! You could turn it into a special book of your own.
For music we did music with our body and we had a surprise instrument that sounded like rain. It was a rainmaker and could also sound like a rattle snake. We like music because it was fun and good for you. Music was interesting because of all the different sounds you can make.

Science With Miss Mitchell
On Thursday lunchtimes we have had a science club.
This gave us a chance to be mini scientists learning about
bugs,magic milk and oil spills.
This morning we learnt how difficult it was for bird life
in the event of an oil spill!
When a penguin is covered in oil they can not move and if they try to clean themselves they are poisoned.We used boomers,sponges and skimmers just to try to remove the oil from water, it was a very hard job!
Big Thanks To Miss Mitchell!

A new year is underway!
Kia Ora e te Whanau
We have started off the year with a very busy two weeks.
We have completed our class treaty, remembered our Surfer values, had lots of swimming lessons and started reading, writing and maths. Not to mention, goal setting learning conferences. The children have been working really hard in Room 9. Make that in every room.
Beach Education
We had a great lesson from the Surf Life Savers last Monday.
Unfortunately it got a bit too windy in the water.
It probably helped make it memorable!
