Monday was the first day of term 3. In the morning after we did the himene we had our Immersion assembly. Then when the school was ready the teachers of team 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 had to show what there going to learn about this term.This term we are learning about money. Out inquiry topic this term is Trade & Enterprise.

Team 1 played a video of the teachers going to the markets and buying stuff like vegetables, fruit and donuts. The teachers got big bags of chocolate money and threw them all out to the all the year 1-6's  and then they came to the seniors and threw out the rest.

Team 2 also played a video. Their video had the year 3's that went to the shop to get an ice-cream each. When there video was finished they asked questions and who ever got the right answer got an ice-cream. When the questions were done Miss Nalder said that team 2 were going to make different flavored ice-cream and maybe sell some.

Miss King was with team 3 and her helpers came up to the front with her. When they were all there Miss King asked them all what they wanted to be when they were older. After that they showed a video with the song YMCA and all the teachers in team 3 had to dance.

Team 4 did a play witch was about making the right decisions with their money. There was a boy called bob whos family was poor and three emotions that helped him. Their names were Sassy, Calm and happy. Mrs Jacobson was the story teller.

Then there was team 5. Team five also did a play. There play was about being financially responsible. When the good guys came in they were selling things. They tried some things that would suit Mr Wiseman and he really liked them. The ladies from the good guys had been trying things on Mrs Wiseman. They really wanted to buy a cool jacket that was $40 if they brought it now but they didnt have enough money. So the good guys said that they didnt have to pay right now and that they could pay it a on different day. But if they payed on different days they would have to pay $70. So Mr Wiseman said not thanks and told them to take there stuff and leave.

New Zealand At War

Last week we were working on New Zealand at war. On the first slide we had to write the definition of each words. On this presintation I have answered the questions that were given. A lot of the answers we had to find were from different sites. on the very last slide we had to draw a picture and write about how it represents the soldiers.

Special Visitor

In the afternoon block Mr Burt came to visit the year 7 & 8's. Mr Burt came to talk  about WW1 technology. He talked about his grandfather who took part in the first world war. Mr Burt's grandfather , Harry Irwin was also Miss Flavells grandfather.

Mr But told us that his grandfather was the first man to have his own bicycle. His grandfather had a olden day bicycle. He said that there were no brakes on the bike so when you would go down a hill you will have to use your feet to stop yourself from going too fast. Women couldn't ride bikes because back in the olden days the girls wore dresses and if they lifted their leg up their underwear would show.

He talked about the word militarism. He said that in the olden days militarism was when people wanted to start fights for no reason . Well that's exactly what the British and the German were doing.

There were war between the British and the Germans. They were about how the New Zealanders made a battle ship by the the name of Dreadnought. Dreadnought was all over the newspapper in the olden days. But when the Germans saw it they decided to make a battleship that was twice as bigger and way better.They were all arguing about how they were going to destroy each others Ships.

Mr Burt told us that the soldiers went to dangerous places and how they got really bad diseases and went home and gave the disease to their children and wife. The disease caused many soldiers to die.

It was really interesting and sad when Mr Burt came and told us about everything his grandfather had been through and done.
