No batteries required!

So much fun was had with our last camp challenge in Room S. This challenge had each group working really hard together to create a 6 cup stack pyramid. No hands were allowed to touch the cups. Instead they had to use a most expensive piece of equipment: a rubber band with 4 strings attached to it. Ms Ellis had so  much fun laughing at the interesting antics. Frustration and fun all around.

CAMP TIMETABLE

Please check the camp page (tab above ) to see a copy of the camp timetable. Get lots of rest and the rest of your packing done. The teachers sure are!

MSS Participates in the Feilding Art Exhibition

We all enjoyed visiting the art display in Bowen St last week. Most of us went for a trip with our buddy classes. The quality of the work was impressive. Well done to those students who had work individually displayed.

Stevie's Speech

Rm I really enjoyed Stevie's speech on Tuesday. She stood tall in her standing frame to present it and with a little help from Mum and her recording buttons, she presented her speech to the room. Her topic was 'Its time to have children in parliament'. She made many good points and Rm I agreed with her.

Twintastic!

Who doesn't agree than 2 is better than 1? Well Brooke and Crystal are proving that being a twin is pretty amazing. They sing, they do circus tricks, is there an end to their talents?

Honey- I shrunk the kids...

Probably this movie reference is too old for you all!

However in Rm I we shrunk Conrad! Now he is mini Conrad. It is something we are trialing as a way to fit more children in rooms. Watch out, it could be coming to a class near you!

Check Conrad out below. 

Kids for Kids Concert 2015

Congratulations to all the talented singers who performed at this concert. A lot of hard work and practice went into the final amazing performance.

Special congratulations to Ella and Brooke who were chosen by the organisers to perform solos! Really proud of you both.

The school enjoyed the choir's song in assembly on Friday.

Alex helps with Rm I's Classroom Management?

Alex's Mum had been on a tropical holiday and brought him home a souvenir. It was a club that had its origins in cannibalism! It was a light weight show version but Rm I were fascinated. 

Mrs Palmer thought it might be an effective tool for classroom management but sadly Alex made sure it went home with him at the end of the day!

And Even More Rm I Sport Stars!

Riley and Bodhi love rugby! Riley's Rep team has not lost a single game this season and were also the undefeated champions in 2014! As you can see by his medals, Bodhi's team has also done very well!

Alyssa Player of the Day for her team. Way to go, a champion on the court and at school!

Media Mob 2015

Every Thursday Media Mob gets together in Room Q and we learn something new. Last term we were working on ID tags and it took the whole term. The kids in Media mob 2015 are Billie, Sam Walker, Ciara, Phil, Taine, Mason Westwood and Charlotte Murray.  Thank you Mrs Keen.

Rm I Weekend Sport Stars!

In the weekend Reuben's soccer team won the F.U.A.F.C tournament. We played against 4 teams initially and won them all. Then onto the quarter finals, then semis and then the final! We played Marist in the final and won easily 4-0. I got a shot from halfway and it went in!

Ella also had some netball sporting success. She was chosen to be her team's Player of the Day! She played a strong game supporting her team who unfortunately had a loss. Ella plays in the wings for MSS 1!

Stevie's Hanging Around...

 Firstly congratulations Stevie, 1 full week! You made it, 100% attendance so far this term!
This is a picture of Stevie in her hoist. She has just got a brand new standing frame and the hoist is the gadget that gets her in and out of her wheelchair and frame. 

MATARIKI

What a fabulous end to our Matariki Inquiry as we walked to the lookout on Highfield Hill to gaze at the Stars.  The earliest of us saw three of the Matariki constellation and a few other stars before the clouds came in.  The full moon was beautiful especially through the telescope and the binoculars.  Thanks to all the parents who got their children up bright and early on the last day of the term and a special HUGE thanks to the Mums and Dads who cooked us a hearty breakfast on our return. The karakia and waiata were shared with respect and I'm sure some of the neighbours enjoyed their new alarm clocks on Friday morning. Here are a few photos from the morning.

Breakfast with the Stars

What an amazing start to the day. After our hike up Highfield Hill we all went to the hall to enjoy a shared breakfast. An early morning start and fresh air always makes breakfast taste so much better. A HUGE thank you to our parents that came and prepared breakfast while students and teachers were greeting the stunning sunrise and mysterious Matariki.

Congratulations. Rugby Reps Under 11 Manawatu Reps

On Sunday Jack Kuiti, Mitchell  Reilly, Kade Manuel, Kees Kaiuha and Henry Stewart went to the Manawatu U11 rep trials. We did forty minutes of fitness. The things that we did were shuttles, henimalis and sprints. After fitness we got split into four teams and played each other once in twenty minute halves. In the end we all got in the team. There are 13 Feilding players in the team. We are looking forward to the season ahead of us.

Teach The Teacher

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

Teach the teach compressed air cannon

Josh was Teaching the teacher something that certainly surprised her.

 I made this compressed air cannon with a bit of help from my dad. As you pump the pressure builds up  in the chamber. Then you turn the tap and release the pressure and it fires a nerf bullet or a bb bullet. I like to  pump it up to 30 to 50 psi. 30 psi is the same as one car tyre. If you dont know what psi means I will tell you. psi meanpounds   per square Inch  (measure of pressure). Parts of the cannon are: pump ,valve ,chamber ,tap and  barrel. 

Teach The Teacher

Meerkat poster. On Monday I had to  teach the teacher  and the class about something . So I taught them about meerkats, my second favourite animal . They learnt  alot! (They're so cute). Here's a few quick facts.... For meerkats sticking together is a way of life, on their front paws meerkats have long curved claws that they use for digging ,meerkats use their slender tails to support balance, a large den may have as many as 15 entrances . I enjoyed sharing my information about meerkats. By Gracie.

Teach The Teacher

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!

The crowd goes wild.

With excitement the crowd went wild at netball because I was a fantastic player. I got the player of the day and that is why I said I was a fantastic player. We got six points and Halcombe Black only got two or three points because they weren't very good at playing netball but  Manchester  street school three is good at netball  because we do a lot of passes and bounce passes.We got taught  by Ms Ellis she is MSS3  coach and my mum B.j is our manager.
