Student Council Representative

A big congratulations to Emma who was elected the Class Representative for Room 6 today!
We had a really interesting morning, each child gave their speech, explaining why they were the best person for the job! We then had a private ballot session.  We showed use of lots of the Kilbirnie School values during this time - Confident speakers, Achieving, Respectful behaviour and Empathy for the children that were not elected.  Well done Room 6, I was really proud of your grown up behaviour this morning - and especially those of you that instantly applauded Emma, despite maybe feeling disappointed yourselves! As always Room 6, you are awesome!!

jelly fish

Hey Room 6, another great day today!

Have you had a look at home for a plastic bottle yet? When you have found one, bring it to school with your name written on the bottom.

Here are the jelly fish instructions - BUT DON'T MAKE IT YET!! We will do it together at school.


It's a very exciting project - we will be recycling and re-using too! (I think that will be a great help to our sea - creatures!)

School Council

Hey Room 6
Don't forget that today is the last day for you to nominate yourself for our school council.  If you haven't given your form to Ms Johnstone yet, then make sure you do it by the end of Thursday 21st March.

Next week we will be having our speech day - we will talk more about this at school in the week. 

See you on Thursday
Miss Rhodes

Data data data...

What a busy day we had today Room 6. It was amazing watching you work as a team to process and collate the data that we had collected from our Kilbirnie School Census. I thought it would take us all day to count and collect the information, but you were so focused and involved in what you were doing that it was finished by morning tea time! Amazing! It was interesting trying to find ways to overcome the stumbling blocks that we encountered wasn't it? We learned a lot about the huge job that it must be for the team at Statistics NZ.

Now we have our data, we need to decide how we are going to present it and analyse it.

DO THE HARLEM SHAKE!!!!!!!!!!

Room 6 - YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great video Room 6! I enjoyed that we turned this into a learning experience - using the knowledge of dance that we have begun to learn with Rachel in our dance & drama sessions, plus, thinking carefully about something that represents ourselves!

Most importantly, we had such good fun and we definitely showed one of our Kilbirnie School values - Confidence!
