Year 6 Leaver Speeches

Our lovely Year 6's are about to move onto new adventures (and new schools!). On Friday, in front of the school and their whānau, the Year 6 students said their leaving speeches. They talked about their time at LNS which included their favourite memories and most embarrassing moments. After the speeches the Year 6 students enjoyed the afternoon down at Woodham Park. We will miss you at LNS!

Road Patrol Training

Earlier this week a group of enthusiastic Year 5 students took part in the Road Patrol Training. Constable Matt taught them the importance of the role. They have done a great job and are looking forward to taking over the responsibility from the current Year 6 students.

Some School Camp Snaps!

Keeping Ourselves Safe

This week Constable Matt came to Room 10 to teach us about different types of abuse. We learnt a lot and we enjoyed asking him questions about being a policeman.

Kiwi Quest

Te Atua, Bella-Raine and Lex have been working hard with Ms Cosgrove on an inquiry about things that affect the world. Te Atua researched Wild Fires, Bella-Raine researched Hurricanes and Lex researched Pollution.
Come have a look at their great posters which are displayed in the Kokari Learning Centre on our Wow Wall.

Probability - Maths Time

We are looking at probability for Maths at the moment. The class made spinners and predicted what colours the spinners would land on.

Aquagym

We have had a wonderful start to Term 4 with Aquagym. The students have been responsible by remembering their togs, respectful by listening to their swim tutors and being learners by practicing their swimming.

Printmaking

This term for Art we have been focusing on Printmaking. We looked at artwork by Fatu Feu’u to inspire and influence our designs. We carved our designs into craft foam and then used ink and rollers to create the prints.

Celebrating Our Home Learning

This morning the students from Room 10 and 11 who completed their Home Learning Challenges celebrated with a muffin and hot chocolate. Mrs Geal and Miss Gosden were very impressed with the effort the students put into their projects.

International Week of Peace

It is the international week of peace. Mr Russell, our school caretaker, came and spoke to Room 10 about his peace keeping work in East Timor.

Elections 2017

The Kokari Nui Team have been learning about how to vote and why it is important for our future. We had our own voting booth and chose who we wanted to vote for. We are looking forward to the results!

If you are 18 years or older you can come and vote at Linwood North School on Saturday 23^rd September, 2017.

So come on down and have your say!
