E-mail to King's

Dear Aidan,

Thank you for sending us that interesting e-mail about pollution. We learnt a lot about pollution from reading your letter.  We learned that there’s a hole in the ozone layer that’s right above New Zealand and that we have to wear at least two layers of sunscreen each day.

                                 

We have been working on soil this year as 2015 is The International Year Of The Soil. Soil is very important. It sustains life on Earth.  Without soil covering the Earth, would be like our body without skin. You might as well live on the Moon if we didn't have soil. Soil helps produce fruit and vegetables that keep us healthy. Soil helps regulate floods by soaking up the water like a sponge.  Soil also grows trees which gives us wood to build houses.

We hope you learnt a bit about soils.  Thank you for reading our letter.

Yours Sincerely,

Ross, Tyler, Romeo and Matthew

Year 6 Team Building

At the end of this Term we took part in a Year 6 Team building challenge in the Auditorium.  We had to work together to build a bridge that was wide enough for a ball to pass through and strong enough to hold a dictionary.

New Zealand Flag

In Art we designed our own flag for New Zealand.

Youth Town Hockey Skills

This Term we have been working with Youth Town sports and learning different hockey skills.

Learning Reflection

I am learning to write in the third person

I am so proud of being able to write in the third person

It can be tricky to write in the third person because I've never done it before

My buddy can help me if I make a mistake

The next step for me is to write in the second person
