Targa Car Rally

The Targa Car Rally zoomed past Lee Stream School today, we loved watching the rally and touring cars, lots of them tooted, waved and threw out lollies for us! One car even threw some gold coins to us which we will use to buy some more plants for our garden. Lots of cars pulled over to show us inside their cars and to pull skids and make us feel like the pitstop crew because we helped with their tyres! We are a lucky school, today was a great day!

Art

Over Term 2 and 3 we have been looking at the work of Dick Frizzell, a famous New Zealand artist. Last term we did teatowel screenprints with fabric paint and this term we are using spraypaint and canvas to make our artworks. We watched a video of Dick and his son Otis Frizzell creating their "Fishbombs" series which have become iconic NZ artworks and discussed their techniques and ideas. We liked the idea of using a word that would represent part of our identity. We are using a technique called masking to create our artworks and this morning Shannon completed her masking so was able to start spraypainting...she had a lot of fun! Can you tell what her identity word will be when she pulls of the word mask?

Ben and Shannon's Hand Challenge

During writing and science we did a challenge that was called "give me a hand". We had to make a poster that explained what are hands and how do they work. Our question was "why are our hands some of the most important tools we have?". We used QR codes to help us find our answers. We learnt that we need thumbs to help us do things like picking up things, if we have no thumbs it is hard to do stuff. 

Minibeast Inquiry

Discovery learning

Hi.  This is me with my picture of a tree in the cold windy snow. All I had to do is to get white paper,
white crayon and a black piece of paper. You get blue and pruple dye so you can see the white crayon.When
you are fininshed you get  a glue stick and glue the tree on the died paper and you are done. That is how I made mine.

 

Bees

Today we made a video explaining our questions and answers from our reading book about bees.
We wrote our questions in our reading book. We took photos of our favourite pages in the book.
Then we went into the staff room and recorded ourselves. We hope you enjoy our video!

My Days at School

My Days at School

Hi. I’m Shannon. I am 8 years old. I go to Lee Stream School.  At

Lee stream we do fun things.  Like we do Math, Reading and also

Writing.  When it is maths we do little sheets with numbers going down a line.  Mr Wheeler teaches us as a group.  After that we have to do maths that he has taught us.  At school we do also do Mathletics.  When it is interval we go out to play.

 

On Fridays we do Discovery.  Discovery is when kids be more creative and make and do stuff they want to do.  At the end of the day we sometimes play a game and when the day is done we go home.

 

On Monday we do homework and spelling at school with Mr. Wheeler.   We are also we are learning to do a blog page on our Computers.  We are also learning about minibeasts, insects and spiders with Mr. Wheeler and learned about bees and ants with Mrs. Weir.  

 

At school we have a swimming pool.  It is sometimes too cold to swim in.  But when it is warm we have a lot of fun in there.

 

My favourite thing is to do is drawing and helping with my Dad.
