Cameras

Last Wednesday Mr Jones from Ian Jones Photography came with lots of cameras to show us. He had old cameras and cameras that were different sizes. I liked the little spy camera but it is hard to get film for it. He showed us a huge picture he had printed out of the Wanganui river.

New Zealand Shakeout

On the 26th of September we are going to be joining in the New Zealand Shakeout. At 9.26am on that day we are all going to drop, cover and hold to show that we know what to do in an earthquake. For more information about the New Zealand Shakeout go to www.shakeout.govt.nz. Check out this youtube clip I found on how to keep safe in an earthquake and do you think we could make a video of our own?

Daffodil Day

Today across the country it was Daffodil Day. People everywhere raise money to support the Cancer Society. At Carlton School we had a PJ day to support them with people bringing a gold coin donation. We also sold cupcakes to raise money. In Room 2 we raised $12 dollars and some of us bought cupcakes - YUM!

Our new dictionaries

Yesterday only year 4's got to get an Illustrated Dictionary from Rotary. We had our name's in our dictionary so the Rotary team knew our name's. Then we got a photo with the Rotary team. The Dictionary is very special because it has pictures in it. My favourite picture is the planets and the scorpion.

Friendly Aliens

On Thursday 14th June at Carlton school in the hall there was a space odyssey. Room 2 did friendly Aliens. Room 2 had to wear a rubbish bag as a costume. We had a mask too. My mask looked like a elf. My mum was taking photos. There were 5 lines of people for our dance. We put on the show because it was wearable arts and we wanted to celebrate. It was exciting.
