Term Two - Weeks 8 & 9


Hi again everyone!

Our Kokako class has grown again - welcome to Ricci and Allynah who have joined us - we  are thrilled to have new friends with us and look forward to learning more about you as the weeks pass!

Last week we thanked and farewelled Miss Van den Beld as she ended her teacher-training posting.  With her we have enjoyed carrying out some scientific investigations involving mould, putting together our speeches and making some card print robots.  We look forward to the lessons she will provide for us during her five-week posting late in Term Three.




Maddy was the Senior MVP for the value of Compassion!
With only one week left in the term we are gearing up for a break. We have concluded our technology inquiry. Some of our bird feeders were out on trial last week, with the miserable weather conditions showing up some major design faults for our prototypes – all aspects we reflected on this week!

Congratulations to Thomas, who placed third overall in the 11 year-old boys' race at the Southland Primary Schools' Cross-Country last Friday, and to Marina who place 14th in the 10 year-old girls's race - a great effort from you both and a great experience for Jake, Brittany and William as well!

Congratulations also to Sarah (dance), Shaz (piano), Jake and Kobie (dance) and Brittany (and her group - dance) for being finalists in the Student Council's event 'Edendale's Got Talent'.  It was a great show and we are very proud to have so many Kokako pupils sharing their talents -well done to all of you!

Gabby was this week's VIP - thanks for the chocolate

With Miss van den Beld I enjoyed making the robots because we had to draw them and I like drawing. We had cardboard and cut it up and we made it look like our drawn robot.
