Visit to Shantytown

We visited Shantytown this term. Have a look at our photographs to see what we did.

Awahono School Fun Run

We had a great Fun Run with everyone achieving their minimum target of three laps of the school. Some people ran even further, and a few people in Room 5 completed seven laps of the school!

Andy Warhol Chickens

Inspired by Andy Warhol's repeated images, and his use of everyday subjects in his pop art, we drew chickens in black marker and created different patterns on each chicken. We added touches of red and drew a border pattern on a red background.

Rat Attack!

We have been enjoying listening to "Dodos Are Forever" by Dick King Smith.
We used some of the characters to help us with our writing.
We picked the sentences we liked best and wrote them out as large posters.

Native Berries

Today we looked at the berries of the kahikatea, a native tree that grows well on the West Coast, and we also examined the berries of the coprosma, a native shrub.

Greymouth Rotary Club Dictionaries

All our Year 5 children were proud and excited to receive their own illustrated dictionary today, which was a gift from Greymouth Rotary Club.  Thank you, Greymouth Rotary Club, we greatly appreciate having our own dictionaries, and we will use and value them for many years to come.
