Letters from the Anzac Soldiers
This term we have been learning about the Anzac soliders. We wrote letters
as though we were soldiers in WW1, writing home from the trenches.
This is Jayzel's letter.

Anzac Week
During the first week of term we have been learning about WW1 and the Anzac Soldiers.
On Friday we held an Anzac Service at school, by our flag pole and our field of remembrance. The field of remembrance has 30 white crosses each bearing the names of those from the Mt Roskill area who lost their lives in WW1.

Chinese New Year - Week 3
Gong Xi Fa Cai Everyone! (Happy New Year)
Yesterday was Chinese New Year. We have been learning about Chinese New Year celebrations all week in class.
On Tuesday it was our class assembly - our assembly focused on Chinese New Year and included lots of interesting facts about it. We made gold coin trees to bring us good luck.
To celebrate, yesterday we began making some paper cut art work based on the animals in the Chinese Calendar.
We will post some photos when they are finished.
We are loving using our Chromebooks in all our learning. They are such great learning tools!

First week back at school
Week one has been an exciting time at Hay Park School!
We have had science experiements, we have been learning about each other and the Treaty of Waitangi!
Miss Hopcroft is a student teacher in our class. She will be with us for the first two weeks, and then in on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
It has been so much fun getting to know each other and starting our learning journey for 2015.
We can't wait to see where our learning will take us this year.
