Man on the Moon

We are using this ad as motivation for our writing this week.  We came up with a list of things we would like to send to the Man on the Moon.

• Globe - so he could see the earth more close up
• Book - something that he could read again and again.
• Soft toy to love
• An animal so he is not lonely.
• Inflatable pool so he could swim.
• Chicken - so it could lay eggs and be his pet
• Plant so he can look after it and water it
• Pizza - an ever lasting one that remakes in different flavours each time.
• iPhone/iPad so you could message him and he could have contact with people on earth and also used for entertainment.
• Soil and seeds so he could grow things
• Canvas and Paint so he could paint his house or room etc.

What would you send?

Pet day!

We had a fabulous morning for pet day. We had chickens, Guinea pigs and cats in Room 8. We moved around different activities with our buddies and had lots of fun. We will be sharing our larger pets next Friday. 

Kapa Haka exchange

Yesterday Stoke School came for our annual Kapa Haka exchange. It was our turn to host them this year. We shared our Kapa Haka performance and then enjoyed a shared lunch together. 

Inter school athletics.

Today we had our interschool athletics day at Saxton Field. It was an awesome day and everyone participated with positive attitudes and tried their best. We represented Ranzau with pride today!

PaknSave visit

This morning we visited Richmond Pak'nSave to participate in an inquiry session, putting into practice what we had learned about label reading. We had a range of food that we had to look at and we had to use our food detective skills to find foods that were ok to eat everyday and occasional foods. We really struggled to find a healthy muesli bar!  

Scott gave us a voucher from PaknSave and we will put this towards a healthy shared lunch. 

Thank you to all our parent helpers for making this trip and learning opportunity possible.
