We have been learning about what we might find underground, for instance dinosaur bones, fossils, treasure, pipes and animals. You'll also find plants, soil, magma and lava.

Our bullying workshop

Today we learned an important lesson about bullying:

Each and every person has the right to feel safe in their life and good about themselves.

Our thoughts:

I stick around a friend or someone I can trust.
Oakley

I'll tell them that they are making me unhappy and then walk away.
Caitlin

Tell a teacher or a friend.
Chloe

Tell a teacher and tell your family.
Kea and Katie W

Stand up tall, find a friend or someone you can trust. Reporting bullying isn't telling tales or 'grassing'. You have the right to be safe and you shouldn't be silent if you feel unsafe.

Our messages about bullies:

Don't be afraid to stand up to bullies!
Savannah

Do the stop action if anyone is coming to bully you.
Maryam

If you feel brave, stand up to them.
Caitlin

We've got the power in us, like our song!
Owen H

We have been talking about how to keep away from bullies and how to defend yourself. I'm going to stick with a group of friends, not to bully the bullies but to make sure they stay away.
Oakley

I'm going to defend myself by sticking with a friend.
Holli

I'm going to find a friend and play with them and stay with them.
Jacob

Don't feel like you're alone if you're getting bullied.
Georgia

If you get bullied, stick with a friend. If the bullies come up to your face and start shouting, put your hands up and say NO!

Welcome back!

Welcome back to a new school term!

We have had a fantastic day and all enjoyed sharing our best memories from the holiday.

This week we are focusing on the presentation of our work. We know that it is important to take pride in all our work, and to make sure that our work is clear and readable. We are all trying hard to join our handwriting.

In numeracy, our table of the week is the 4 times table. Please bring in learning credits to show that you have been practising. You could also try:
