Pathways to Acceptance

This term we have been doing "Time Team" activities. We have looked at past civilisations and at how the Olympics started. We have even looked way back to the dinosaur times! We discussed why people have to work together in teams and take on different roles. Then we decided that everyone is different and we all find different things easy or hard. To be a good Springston Learner we have to be accepting of these differences because we can all learn from each other. This helps to build richly exciting civilisations like those in the past.

Please read and enjoy our wonderful book.

World Teacher's Day

October 26 is World Teacher's Day. This year the theme is about teacher's beng champions every day. In Canterbury we are facing a big challenge to our profession with the recent announcements of 13 school closures and 18 mergers. The disruption to children and their school communities could be widespread and long lasting.
This link allows you to do something for schools or teachers you know will be facing stressful times. Please nominate a teacher to be an everyday champion. http://www.everydaychampions.co.nz/

I Wonder Why?

Today we had to make space on our walls for new paintings, so our Wonder Wall had to come down. We have made it into a book for you all to enjoy.  It might get you wondering about a few things too.

 

Father's Day.

Yesterday it was Father's Day. It's a really special day. We love to play with our dad. We give him presents. In the morning we give our dad a hug, and a kiss, and we wake him up by saying "Happy Father's Day!"

We make a Man's breakfast for him. We give him his favourite food. 

Dad does the things he likes to do, all day. No jobs! We do all the work.

We make him a beautiful, exquisite card, and a nice, heavy, small, special present. And we take him out to dinner. 

Dad really loved his day with us.

Poppy made this Wordle for Father's Day.

More Writing Club Stories

Today we feature four new writers. Joseph, Charlotte,Tessa and Paris have written great stories for you.
Our goals have been to write longer stories by using interesting words, and adding details to keep the listener interested. We try new words by writing the sounds we can hear, and underlining our tries. We have to start with a capital letter and put full stops at the end of our sentences. We need to write all our letters the right way too. Lots to think about! Whew!

Check out our photopeach stories in the Older Post section below to see how much we have learned.

Mice in the Kitchen
