World Lion Day 2013

World Lion Day is on the 10th of August 2014.

What if there were no lions left in our world?

What if the lion vanished from the wild leaving us only pictures and statues?  

Don’t you think our world would be a very lonely place without lions?

In 1975 there were an estimated 250,000 lions in Africa. In less than 50 years almost 90% of that population has been lost – the current population stands at around 25,000.  Their main threats are loss of habitat, poaching and disease. Lions could become extinct in our lifetime if we don’t act now!

If you love animals and want to try your luck at winning a big prize, read on!

Create a poster, anything between A2 and A4 size which tells the world about the plight of lions today and what we can all do about it – before it’s too late! You can read more about it here www.worldlionday.com

Finding Humour

 Finding Humour is an important life skill.

Humour has many benefits. Apart from bringing joy to our lives, it also stimulates the release of endorphines, lowers blood pressure and increases feelings of well being. Finding Humour is closely related to success in life.

Finding Humour Quotes

"If you can laugh at it, you can live with it."

"Laughter is the music of life."

"A good laugh is sunshine in a house."

“You can think best when you're happiest.”

See Room 4 having a go at 'finding humour' during laughing yoga. Videos are under the "photos, media and videos" tab. Enjoy!

Shared Lunch

Kia ora parents, caregivers and parents,

Room 4 is having a shared lunch on Monday 8th of July. We are celebrating all of our hard work and success this term. Please bring a small plate of healthy food to share (we are trying to stay away from junk food like chocolate, chips, fizzy etc). Cultural food would be wonderful! Parents and family are very welcome, we love seeing you at school.

Inquiry Research

Wow Room 4! What intelligent students you are.

During library time, Caitlin, Om, Jo, Breanna and Micah researched a man called Doug Engelbart. Brenda suggested we do this as she knew that we were doing lots of research on various forms of communication technology.
The students found out key information about Doug. 

What do you know about Doug Engelbart?

Here are two photos of Breanna, Micah and Om presenting their findings to the class. Well done!
