Sunflower Seeds

We are learning about plants this term. Thanks to Kings Seeds we have planted sunflower seeds. In seven days they have sprouted and now we wait! We wait to see which will grow the tallest.

Armistice Day Poems

The peaceful cemetery

                      Peace and rest

                      Scary things that happened

                      Brave men have sacrifice

                      There lives. People risking things

                      That is very difficult for them.

                      Worried man that are thinking

                      About there families.

                      By Benjamin.

The nameless headstones

Peace and rest

Worried  soldiers

Fire arms strong and mighty

Nameless headstones

Love and  passion

Risked their lives

Now in peace

Graves with no decorations

Just headstones

by Molly

Thanks Cannons Creek Library

We enjoyed visiting the Cannons Creek Library. Gina told us how the library works and read us some great stories.

Peach Boy Books

We made our own picture books and shared them with Room 3.

They were excellent listeners.

Experience Japan!

 

We had a fun afternoon on Friday. It was our chance to experience Japanese culture.

It was good to cross group with other classes and go try the different aspects of Japanese culture.

We liked making carp fish kites, eating with chop sticks and learning to speak Japanese. Not too sure about the taste of seaweed though.

You can go to North City Plaza and see our display as Russell School is a part of ‘Team Japan’ during the Rugby World Cup.

Japan - Origami Samurai Helmets



We had to co-operate together.



We had to follow instructions.



We did it ! We made origami samurai helmets.





Thanks Robbie for telling us about Japan!

Robbie shows his chopstick skills.

THANK YOU !!!

 

The Canadian High Commission sent Russell School some wonderful resources.

Thank you Room 3, we have loved learning about Canada and performing with you!

You were the best concert buddies.

Rooms 3 & 11 with books, flags and posters sent from the Canadian High Commission

Room 3 and 11 Rocks the Concert









We did the 'Great Big Moose' song and  our actions made the audience laugh. 

The best part of 'O Canada' was when we saluted at the end.

• Thanks to all our fans for watching the show!

Totem Poles

Last term we learnt about the myths and legends of Matariki.

This term we have learnt about the myths and legends of the Haida people. They are First Nation people from around British Columbia and the Northwest in Canada.

 

Explanation - O Canada

We are learning how to give good explanations. This week we have to teach each other how to screen print. Come see us wearing our cool maple leaf tops at the school concert on Thursday.

Life in Room 11

One Discovery Time goal we have is

‘I can co-operate with others’.

During Kia Kaha with Constable Ian we made yummy coconut ice.

Most of us are still learning how to let people do their jobs and that each job is important. 

Every Monday afternoon Whaea Meralyn comes to teach us during Bible in Schools time. She is taking us on a trip through the bible and we love learning a new part of a rap each week.
