EOTC WEEK!

Education outside the classroom (EOTC) week has been so much fun!! We especially enjoyed PLAYING at AVALON PARK and EXPLORING and DIGGING at the BEACH! Enjoy the photos!

Letters to Santa

Last week we went for a walk to the post office. Ethan, our SUPER STAR, had the important job of posting our letters to the NORTH POLE! We can't wait to hear back!!

ART AUCTION!

As many of you have probably already heard... Muritai School is having an ART AUCTION!! Each class is creating one or two collaborative art pieces for the auction (which is happening on DEC. 2nd). All of the money raised will be donated to a school in Cambodia. We are so happy to be taking part in such a great event for a fantastic cause!!

Here are a few photos for a sneak preview of room four's art pieces... Mrs Naik could only take a few photos because she was soon covered in PAINT!!
Enjoy!!

SHADOW SHAPES!

As part of our inquiry on SUN SAFETY we had a close look at our SHADOWS. We found out that when our body blocks the sun it creates a shadow. We had a great time making interesting shadow shapes!

Then we traced our buddy's shadow with chalk. We had a big laugh at the funny outlines that emerged!

SUN SAFETY!!

For Inquiry this term we have been learning about SUN SAFETY! Today we went on a walk in the playground in search of some SHADY areas where we can go if we get TOO hot!!

Welcome Back!

We have had a great start to Term 4! I hope you have all had a restful holiday to get ready for the busy term ahead! Just a few reminders:

All children should have sunhats at school this week.

Please ensure your child had a drink bottle at school, filled with WATER for those HOT summer days!

We will be practicing for Cross country on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays so please make sure your child is wearing suitable running shoes.

We also have an EXCITING art project in the making so keep checking our blog to find out more about what we are doing!

Conservation Week

Last week was Conservation Week. Conservation week is a time to really think about how we can care for our environment and about how we can make a difference! We watched an interesting video that taught us all sorts of important things, like where water comes from to the importance of insects!

We also went to Rona Beach for a beach clean up. We were happy to see that the beach was almost rubbish free!




After our beach clean up, some of us were exhausted!!


At assembly we found out different ways that we can help our environment. One way is to have LESS wrapping and packaging in our lunch boxes. Another way is to eat ALL our lunches and to put any food scraps in the RED food scraps bin. Also, all paper should go in the GREEN paper bins! Finally, Mr Ray and some of the older children have written to the council to find out how we can get a better system for recycling plastic and other things at our school. We are proud to be a Greengold Enviroschool! To find out more about Enviroschools and about what Muritai school is doing to make a difference please visit the enviroschool blog:
