Term 2 Week 6

 We have had a short week this week, with Queen's Birthday on Monday and the teachers having a teacher only day on Tuesday.

The teachers travelled to Winton Primary School to look around and see how they run their classrooms. Then the teachers had lunch and talked about what they had seen and could use or do differently at Edendale School.  Mrs A also taught the teachers and Mr McKenzie how to play a couple of songs on the ukelele!

Josh J, Thomas, Maria, Taya, William, Daniel H, Hayden and Bailey are all away to the Southland Crosscountry today - we hope they all do well! Results later!

Constable Graham was back again and we talked about how being different is good - we made shields to show our uniqueness.

Mrs Coyle finished reading our daily novel to us - we were listening to Hatchet by Gary Paulsen and were always blown away by the descriptions of Brian's problems as he survived in the wilderness.  The ways he overcame those problems were really good examples of technology - the solutions created to meet a need (our inquiry theme).  We are all glad nothing like what happened to Brian has ever happened to us, but now we have a few ideas if we do get lost in the woods (note one: take a hatchet with you!)

Below in the comments are our reflections for this week - have a read...
