A sinking feeling

We have been learning to create animations using Google Slides that give viewers the illusion of movement.

Bread Tag Collection Update

Hi Everyone!

There has been some questions about our bread tag collection. So we thought rather than answering your comments one by one, it'll be better to make an update post.

So far our class ALONE has collected almost 200 bread tags! Our school as a whole has collected much more!


Here are Room 2's bread tags piled into 10's in rows of 5's. 



In Room 2 we collect our bread tags in an old yogurt container that has had a little make over with paper, glue and felts.

Dog Care 3000

Last week we had our first lesson with Nane about robotic computation.
She let us design our own robots and give them a name and a purpose.

Here is Room 2's Teacher's Robot Design.



This robot is called the Dog Care 3000.
It is designed to fill the food bowls and water bowls of dogs. It can also shoot out dog treats for your dog when you're not home. What's even better is that YOU, the owner of the dog, can control the robot with your smart phone. The Dog Care 3000 has a swivel arm and can throw toys to keep your dog entertained while you are at work or at school.

What do you think of the robot?
If you were to design a robot, what would you name it, and what would be its' purpose?

EHS Duffy Assembly

Our school had our Duffy Assembly today!
We had a really cool guest come and talk to us.

Our guest was Michel Mulipola. He is a New Zealand comic artist and has done really cool illustrations! He has even drawn some illustrations for the school journals! Next time you read a school journal, keep an eye out for his name.


What really surprised us about Michel is that he is not only a very talented comic artist, but he is also a WRESTLER! His wrestler name is Liger. He wore his wrestling mask during his presentation.


Michel is living his dream! His career consists of wrestling, illustrating and also playing games professionally. What a fun job!

What would your dream job be?

Bread Tags into Wheelchairs!

Our school has just started to collect bread tags. 
WHY you may ask? To help raise some money to buy wheelchairs of course!

It takes 200kg of bread tags to be able to afford ONE wheelchair. 
THAT'S A LOT OF BREAD TAGS!

Click HERE to learn more about how you and your school can take part in collecting bread tags to help provide wheelchairs to those in need.

You could also go on their Facebook group to find collection points around New Zealand. There might be one near you!


Do you think your school would be interested to start collecting bread tags?

Some Sweet Moves

Room 2 wanted to share on our class blog what we do every morning for fitness to wake our bodies up and get it moving before we start learning for the day.



The video shows most of Room 2 students dancing along to "How Far I'll Go" from the Movie Moana, we used the Just Dance video that is available on Youtube!

Look how enthusiastic and excited everyone is!

What do you think of our dancing?

What does your class do for fitness? Do you have any favourite songs you like to dance to?

We learnt that washing hands is VERY important!
We loved learning about this because now we know how to keep ourselves clean and healthy.
When do you think is the best time to wash your hands?

EHS went to the Auckland Zoo!

On May 15th 2019 Room 1 and Room 6 went to the Auckland Zoo. We had so much fun looking at all the different animals and learning about their traits.

Did you know that Emu eggs are blue?? They were so beautiful!

Room 2 LOVED having Losalina in today for art.
We were told to draw our own self-portraits, our favourite foods, favourite sport and also what we love to do!
Can't wait to do more art with her next week!
