What a super ending to our inquiry in Term 2 we had with our amazing kite creating and kite flying day. What fun!

Room 20 are back in the swing of things for learning in Term 3. We have been learning about Keeping Ourselves Safe…obviously so important. A big component of this covers internet safety and I encourage you to visit the very good site provided for teachers, parents and children on this topic by the New Zealand Police. Please visit www.hectorsworld.com You may like to install the safety button on your home computers.

Sean has written some internet safety tips.

On the internet if anybody emails you and you don’t know them tell an adult and they will make it so they can’t email you again. You don’t tell them personal words, like your name, phone number, e-mail and the school you go to.      By Sean

Keanna also offers some internet safety advice.

There are some important things to remember on the computer. If someone sends you a message and you don’t know that person, ask a parent or a teacher to block that message. This will help keep you and your computer safe. There is a very good way to keep yourself safe on the computer and that is to not write your name, address, e-mail, phone number, password or school. Use a computer nickname instead.     By Keanna

The children wrote a story about a time they got lost. We have been focussing on adding an ending that relates to the beginning of our story.

“On no, I have lost my Mummy. Where is she? I looked everywhere.  I felt scared and worried, so I went to the counter and they said “there is a little boy here”. Next I saw my Mum come running. I was really really happy to see her. Maybe she was as worried as me.    By Jae

We are all looking forward to our wonderful trip to Rainbow & Fairy Springs on Monday. Watch this space and check our blog for stories and art around our BIG question “What relationship should we have with our native birds?”
