Trip Back In Time - 1863

This weekend is Clyde School's 150 year Jubilee.  Today the whole school dressed up in clothes that would have been worn in 1863. The senior school had a school day led by Miss Williams, who ran our "olden days" school day last month.  
Our school photos were taken today in our olden day clothes, which was a special way to mark the 150 year jubilee celebrations.
Tomorrow there is a special assembly, starting at 2pm, for everyone who has attended our school. The weekend is going to be full of fun and and a lot of reminiscing for those who have attended Clyde School over the years.

What do you think to Mr White's olden day costume?  We loved his "bat-winged" cape.  Perhaps he could wear it for halloween next week!

Flax Weaving

Today Mrs Tamati did flax weaving with us.  She taught us how to make putiputi (flowers). It was really tricky, but lots of fun.

My Marvellous Dad

We listened to a story called My Dad is Brilliant, written by Nick Butterworth.  We decided to write about our own Dads.  We made our Dads their own special Fathers Day book, telling them all the things we love about them.  You can read about our Marvellous Dads by clicking on the book below.

1863 School Day

The junior school went back in time yesterday. We travelled back to 1863 and found out what school life was like.  We experienced what it was like to be in classroom in 1863 and had a visiting teacher "Miss Williams" (Rachel Checketts from Central Museum) take our class.  She was very strict.   We made our own butter and make jam sandwiches which we wrapped up in newspaper.  We played old fashioned games like hopscotch, tag, pass the glove and remember the objects.  

Guess the animal

On Monday we read 'Rumble in the Jungle'. We decided to describe our favourite jungle animals. Can you guess what animals we have written about?

Movement and Position

During Maths this week we have been looking at position words. We have been following and giving instructions that use words like up, down, over, under, through, between, beside and many more.  We hid objects around the classroom and tried to give our buddy instructions that helped them to move around the classroom and find the objects.  We learnt that you need to give really clear instructions so that your buddy is able to find the object that you have hidden.
We also had lots of fun on the adventure playground creating obstacle courses for our buddies to try.  We had to listen carefully to all of the instructions and try to remember where to go.

100 Day Celebrations

100 Day Celebrations

On the last day of Term 2 we celebrated 100 days at school.  We had a PJ day and began our celebrations with a shared breakfast of pancakes, fruit, and toast.  We did lots of counting to 100 in 1's 2's and 10's.  

We thought about what we would like to achieve by the time we are 100 years old and wrote down some of our ideas.  We also created ripped paper collages of what we might look like when we are 100 years old. Click on the pictures below to view our artwork and read our 100 ideas.
