Jacob the bubble maker

Jacob blew a bubble when it was discovery time (Lili). This is a secret way of making Jacob's bubble (Brooklyn). I had to rub my hands in the bubble mixture. Then rub it on my hands. Then carefully make my fingers to a diamond and then point it up a little bit and then blow softly (Jacob). It was really easy for Jacob and others tried to do the same as him (Salah). Some people make bubbles in the bath (Georgia). Jacob must be very proud of himself (Georgia). Jacob is quite clever (Brooklyn)! This is a secret way of doing a bubble with your hands (Dallas). Here is a video of Jacob making bubbles. Please leave us a comment!

Brooklyn's work

This is Brooklyn learning during maths. He is trying to figure out his activity sheet using counters (Grace). Our group is learning to make the numbers into groups and then takeaway the number (Brooklyn). He was acting like I wasn't even there when I took the photo (Kobe). This shows integrity (Jacob). He must have really been concentrating! This is working with excellence because he was trying his best and not talking to anyone (Kaleb). When Brooklyn was doing his worksheet he was showing integrity (Lili). When someone was talking to him he just ignored them and he just kept working Kaleb.

The old man and the sand monster

There once was an old man. He had no money. He was very poor. He could not go a kilometer a day. he had no shoes. His feet were extremely hot. Suddenly the ground started to shake. The poor man fell down and the sand monster who had spikes on his back and fiery eyes ate the man up. But his skin was so wrinkly and yukky and his feet extremely hot that it burnt the sand monsters tongue. So he spat him out. He was covered in slime.

This is Callum's story. Isn't it fantastic? He did it when it was writing time yesterday. We were impressed because he used heaps of wow words to explain what he really wanted it to be. This made it really interesting. Well done Callum!

Sudent Led Conference Practice

Kaleb is showing his portfolio to Kobe. Kaleb was showing Kobe his wordpower. He nearly about forgot to introduce Kobe to the teacher. Kobe told Kaleb that he forgot to show something around the room. So then Kaleb went and showed her something. Kaleb did it really well when he practiced his student led conference. He was saying how he did it and what he did to make it so he could reach his goal. Kaleb and Kobe were not being silly.

At maths time

Gemma was working out the answers on her maths sheet. She worked really hard on it to get it all right. We can tell this because at maths she was putting her head down and she was working her pencil hard out. When she accidentally made a mistake she went back and fixed it. Gemma tried really hard to fix her mistake. Good job Gemma!

Helping Lili

This is Georgia and Lili. Georgia is helping Lili with the listening post. That was really helpful of Georgia! Georgia was showing excellence by helping Lili and showing her what to do. Next time Lili will be able to do it herself. Maybe another time Lili can help someone else with the listening post.

The Pirates Holiday

The Pirates have had a fantastic holiday. Everyone did lots of interesting things. It would take far too long for us all to say something about our holiday!

Ngaire can tell you about her holiday. She went to Cambodia. She went to Cambodia because she wanted to see her mum and dad and to teach the teachers. Ngaire taught the kids in the village too. You can see photos and read stories about what she did on www.getjealous.com/leafschoolplus.

We are all really happy to be back at school.

Ngaire is in Cambodia

Ngaire has gone to Cambodia to do some teaching with the children and to train some local teachers. If you want to see some pictures and read about what she has been doing go to http://www.getjealous.com/Leafschoolplus.
