Room 3 thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Art Gallery.
The gallery's organisation and staff's wonderful manner with the children was outstanding.
I was really impressed on how they focused on a minimal amount of artwork, discussed the artwork and really got the children to think for themselves - the children achieved such a wonderful learning experience.
The gallery offers programmes and tours to suit students of all ages.
And check again before they let the children cross the road.
Maia, Kevin, Gina and Alvin don't run across the road they walk.
Notice how they don't talk to the patrols.
They don't want to distract them from checking the road for traffic.
Great job Aryaan and George - you are excellent patrols!
Keeping Safe
Road safety is a thing that you should learn if you want to keep safe and have a healthy life. Here are the things that you should do if you want to keep safe and have a healthy life. Never talk to strangers because they might be dangerous. You should not play on the road because you might get run over by a car. Watch out for sneaky drive ways. If there is a pedestrian crossing around use it because it's safer to use. Wear a helmet when you ride your bike, scooter, or skate board so you don't crack your head open if you fall on the concrete. You should always go to the park with an adult because you might get stolen by a stranger. BY ASHIRA
Keeping Safe
Road Safety helps you. These are some of the things you need to do.
1. Never run on the road because when you are dead you are dead.
2. Never talk to strangers because they can hurt you.
3. Watch out for sneaky driveways because a car could be backing out of their driveway.
4. If there is a pedestrian crossing close cross there because otherwise you could get hit by a car.
5. Wear a helmet when you're riding a bike because if you fall off you can get brain damage.
6. Play in your backyard because it is safer.
7. When you go to the park you need a parent to supervise you because somebody could take you.
8. Don't worry about a ball that goes on the road. Don't run on the road to get it.
On Friday the 2nd of November Point View School had our very own annual Grandparents Day and in the morning, we skyped Robbie’s Grandparents and we skyped them from New Zealand all the way to Scotland. It takes 24 hours to get there! Robbie went to Room 4 and got his sister Jade and then his mum came and got some questions to ask their Grandparents. One of the questions were – What was your school like? So we got an answer and we moved on and we had morning tea and after that our Grandparents came and we had morning tea with our Grandparents and I went with Joshua he had two Grannys and two Poppas. Next Josh and I showed them around and we talked about what their school was like when they were at school. They brought some photos and then one Granny was saying she had hair like mine and then her teacher smacked her on the head and it was bleeding! Next we did a Jump Jam exercise for them and we did Folk dancing and the Grandparents joined in! After that we did some math games and Anya, Tiffanny, Zana, Alex and me did a fraction pizza game and I won! Next we played a different game. You play it like you have some cards and there is a sum and a question and you have to tell what you think the answer is and put it in and look at the answer. Then we had lunch and we had delicious lunch. After lunch we had a Grandparents day assembly. By Gina
Pukekawa School held their Calf Club Day on
Friday 21st September 2012.
Room 3 - Kids with a view were so lucky to be invited to go along and join in their fun day!
Each year rural schools around New Zealand hold events that encourage children to take an active interest in the welfare and presentation of an animal of their choice. Originally the day was known as Calf Club Day even though children exhibited handcrafts, artwork and animals like lambs, goats and chickens.
Look at what you need to do to take a calf to calf day.
When it was 5:00, I sprang out of my bed and remembered it was Friday. Room 3 was going on a trip to Pukekawa school and it was a calf day! We went on Friday and we went by car and I was in Sienna’s car. A calf day is when children bring animals and tie them to their car. We patted a goat, lamb, chicken and a big black thing I don’t remember what it was called I think it was a calf. The children had to call their lamb to them but one just jumped over the fence! I saw a lamb eating grass and a child leading her lamb around a course. It felt really soft and clean to touch the animals. We went to visit a class room and they had flowers in unordinary pots and had soap carving and paper mache. My faourite was a bunny made of paper mache because it had real food and water. I felt really soft when I patted the animals. By Gina
When it was Friday and I sprang out of my bed and went in the bathroom and quickly brushed my teeth and went and had my breakfast. When I left home with my mum we went to school and parked and waited at the steps. Then it was time to go to Pukekawa School and Aryaan came in my car and we got there by a car and it was a 1 hour drive. When we got there we had to wait until everybody got here. When everybody got there we went and looked and the lambs and a lamb was sniffing my hand. A calf day is when everybody brings their animals over and do a course and they try really hard to train them and they try to win a ribbon. We looked at the father’s cake competition and there were so many cakes and we took some photos. There was a competition and the lambs were going to have a course first they do a zigzag around the sticks and go over the bridge and open the chain and then come back. I saw lambs, goats and chickens. I felt funny when I was touching the lambs because they sniff my hand. We visited 4 Classrooms, the first one had animals made out of stuff and the second was a small library and the third was pots made out of animals and it had flowers in the fourth room was vedgtables and animals. My favourite items were the animals. I felt amazing after all that I would want to go again someday. By Aum
Kids with a view practicing how to DROP, COVER, HOLD.
On Thursday the 26th September at 9.26 Point View School participated in the nationwide
ShakeOut Earthquake drill.
It is really important that we all know what to do if an earthquake strikes as New Zealand
lies on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates. An earthquake could happen at any time so we must know what to do so that we don't panic and
so that we can protect ourselves from danger.
As Joshua explains to us on stuff.co.nz
we must
DROP, COVER, HOLD.
