Rena Oil Spill

We have been discussing the Rena oil spill. We wrote stories from the birds perspective. We were looking at how the bird would feel and think. We tried to paint a picture in the readers head so they could imagine they were the bird and effected by the oil spill. We hope you like our stories.

Rugby Skills Afternoon

Our whole school had a fun afternoon where we learnt and practices some passing, kicking and throwing rugby ball skills. We were in teams and rotated around a range of activities. As senior school students we helped out the younger students and helped them to practice and learn the new skills. We had lots of fun and were excellent senior role models for our younger students!

The Rock Warriors

Our finished product! We hope you like it!

The Rock Warriors

At the beginning of this Term our class was lucky enough to be involved with the Rotorua Public Libraries ‘Big Big Big Picture Book’. This is a big fabric picture book of stories from Rotorua with each page reflecting a different Rotorua story. This book then tours around the Rotorua sharing our stories. This opportunity was open to only 10 schools in the Rotorua Region, so we were very fortunate to be able to be a part of this book. Our class had to make a page for the book on our chosen legend: The Rock Warriors.

Every child in our class worked on creating this page and the final page is a reflection of their hard work.

Thank you to Stacey Hanlen and Jill Cameron who helped to make this possible!! Space 17 thinks you are awesome and are very grateful!

We hope you like our final page! We are currently finishing our own copy for the school library and it will be up there soon!!

Snow Stories

After we played in the snow we wrote some exciting snow recounts. We tried to use lots of description so our readers could imagine they were there. We hope you like our snow stories.

Snow

This week we got a real treat, it snowed in Rotorua!! During maths time we had a big snow fall, so the whole school went outside and had some fun in the snow!!
