Gingerbread Dogs

Yum! We are very lucky

Nicola and her mother made delicious Gingerbread Dogs for us to have at morning tea. Nicola made the icing and decorated the biscuits. She also used small silver balls for eyes and chains.
Thank you!

Transit of Venus

We were able to see Venus using our sun viewing glasses - thank you to Susan from the Dunedin Observatory who delivered the glasses at short notice. We all marveled at how small Venus is.

This is photo taken by a family in the class from their telescope. Look for the small black dot in the bottom left of the sun.

We are Winners!

Today there was great excitement in Room 11 as we received a box from the University Book Shop. Six writers in our class won a special pen for their writing in The Cats Pyjamas competition.

Congratulations to: Emily, Payge, Sylvie, Anika, James, Charlize. Well Done!

The Great Brick Robbery on PhotoPeach



The Great Brick Robbery


Today St Clair school children got the opportuniy to see The Great Brick Robbery. The main charictor in the play was a boy called Winston that was only just starting a new school. The people in the play were fully trained on how to get the voices high and low . Also on how to get changed properly in a certain amount of time. They have done the play 30 something times so far and have another 200 to go around New Zealand. That’s quite a lot of times! They also had a trick on how to get changed it was to wear different clothes underneath. You can see in the play that Winston's mum is also Denice because she is wearing school shorts underneath and you can see this when she twirls around.
There was a Gadget Gang lead by a girl called deniceshe was the bully in the play. She had a cellphone competition with brick the competition was about when the old brick phone had a dance off with Denice's phone but Denice's celephone hasn’t been struck by lightning and can't dance. It was very funny when denices phone sang the wrong song and Winston put it on the internet. Denice was cyber bullying which means it is bulling through a phone, email, social sites, like mean texts and phone calls. Have you seen the great brick robbery?
What would you do to stop cyber bullying like not give out cellphone numbers or email addresses etc.? Its real and it does happen - be aware!
