GETTING TO KNOW OUR CLASSMATES

Room H had a task to interview their learning partner and then write a descriptive paragraph based on what they had recorded.  Here they are being investigative reporters with their probing questions!

Manchester Street School Environment

At Manchester Street School we care for the environment by watering our plants, caring for the geckos, looking after our class gardens, making weta hotels and more.We all have a class enviro job. Last year Room H were the Papery day at school, Room I hand out litterless lunch tokens. We all try and have a litterless lunch so wr Recyclers - we wonder what our job will be this year. Evee can ge Big Ted.

We love our environment and we. love our school Nursery. If you have free time at lunch time come into the nursery. We would love to see you looking after the environment and caring for one of our gardens.  At the end of the Hall is the Room H class garden. We are looking forward to doing some work in it on Enviro Action Day.  All part of "Taking positive action for the Environment."

PLANT TO PLATE

Manchester Street was very lucky to be part of Plant to Plate in November and Room H was VERY lucky to one of the 4 classes selected to participate.  How lovely it was to see Mrs Duker again.  We had a very busy morning working in the garden and cooking lunch.  We learned heaps about growing our own vegetables and cooking our own healthy food.  Thanks to all the wonderful volunteers who helped us.

My Made-up Language

Last Friday, on Enviro day, I was the teacher. I taught Room H the made-up language I learnt. The words are:

Lawson Lawson  bo bawson

Banana fanna fo fawson

Fi fo fo fawson.

Lawson!

I really enjoyed everyone singing it in tune because it has this kind of rhythm I really like. I think Ms. Todd and Room H liked it too.                    Lawson

Alex was the teacher in Room H today. He shared his knowledge of Mandarin Chinese. Hear how to count to ten with Alex's excellent tuition!

YMCA Sports Stars

On Thursday Room H and the other senior classrooms do YMCA Sports Stars. Every week each class goes to the Scout Hall or out on the court to learn or improve sport skills. We have a lovely trainer/coach that teaches us skills and at the end we get to play a game. Sometimes it is silent ball or seaweed. We all have so much fun and have learnt lots.  Last week we were learning to shoot at a basketball hoop. It was hard to get the technique right.
