Going to a party

On Sunday morning at 10:30am I went to my friend Jessica’s party so I’m going to tell you all about it. First me and my Mum went in the car to get to Jessica’s house for her party because we had to go to a different place for the party. Then Jessica’s Mum got 4 kids from the group of girls (one of them was me) to get in the big white car and 3 other kids (one was Jessica) to get in Louisa’s car that was silver.

Then we headed off to Mission Bay movie theaters. It was a 15 minute drive to get there. Finally we arrived at the movie theaters and so we had to wait outside for a bit so Jessica’s Mum could get our tickets to the movie. Soon enough we were walking to the stairs to the movie theaters because they were on the top. Next we walked down the corridor to our movie theater. It was theater number 2. Next we went into our movie theater.

Finally we sat down in our seats and Jessica’s Mum gave us goody bags with rice wheels, Apple juice, popcorn, and sweets in a bag. Finally the movie started and lots of trailers came up because the movies were coming out soon. Finally the real movie started it was Cinderella.

It was about a girl named Ella and her parents died so her stepmother and step sisters were being evil to her. So Ella got a new name and it was Cinderella. In the end Cinderella and the Prince got married and they lived happily ever after and Cinderella's stepsisters and stepmother were never seen again.

Finally the movie was finished and we had to wait for everyone else that was in the movie theater because it would be more polite.Then we could get out of the cinema. Soon enough we were back in the main area where the tickets were handled. Some of us had to go toilet but some of us didn’t so they waited outside. 5 kids had to go and 2 kids didn’t.

When everyone was finished we were all ready to go back home but this time 5 kids went with Jessica’s Mum and then 2 kids went with Louisa because Louisa had to pick up somebody called Elliot for Jessica’s party. So then we headed back home. Jessica’s Dad was home and he bought the pizza for lunch. I had a little bounce on their trampoline to warm my legs up from sitting for such a long time. Soon enough it was lunch time so I had a piece of ham and cheese pizza and a piece of cheese pizza. After that I played with Jessica for a long time. One thing that we did was Jessica got to open her presents. My present was a jewellery set and you could make different types of jewellery e.g bead ones.

Then it was cake time we sang happy birthday to Jessica. The cake was a chocolate cake with caramel icing. It was soooooooooo delicious.The party was finally finished.That was the best party ever.That will always be my best party ever with my BFF!

Messed Up Sport

This is Hub 2's 2014 entry for the Manaiakalani Film Festival. 

This film is about a magician who keeps changing the sport his friends are playing. The sports players start playing netball. Netball then turns into basketball. Basketball then turns into soccer and soccer turns into rugby. Finally rugby turns into handball. The magician then puts a spell on the players, making them go to sleep. They wake up very confused as they all remember playing a different sport.

The sneaky magician almost gets away with his plan until he is spotted running away. 

Stonefields School's first Triathlon!

It was great to see so many learners for LH2 participating in the triathlon today. After biking, swimming and running the long course it is not surprising our learners were very tired by the end of the day!

Art for the Disco!

Some learners from LH2 have been creating some art for the enchanted forest disco tomorrow night.

Their art is going to look fantastic at the disco! Keep an eye out for it!  

Our first trusted learners

In Hub 2 we now have quite a group of trusted learners!


Each child has made an appointment with the teacher and explained lots of reasons why they should receive a trust licence. The teachers were really impressed with all the ideas these children shared and have been equally impressed with how they have used their extra trust so far.

WALHT share our learning with Hub 9

Today we shared our learning with Hub 9. Some of the learning we shared was our progressions, break through learning, inquiry learning, maths learning, literacy learning, our Mihi and more!

Here are a few photos of us sharing our learning!

  

Today some of us took a risk and went on stage at assembly to share our Mihi!

Sharing our Mihi

Today we learnt how to write and read a Maori Mihi. We chose what information we wanted to include in our Mihi before practising it and sharing it with each other. We had to be really determined when we were learning how to spell the Maori words. 

Today we spent time building our knowledge of social skills.

We took time to share what things we like and don't like.  Then came together to reflect on how we could use this knowledge to make the Stonefields environment a better place.

What are we cooking today?

It certainly smells pretty yummy in the kitchens at Stonefields this morning! We have two break through groups cooking today. We have build our knowledge about the recipes and the ingredients we need. Today we are applying our understanding by cooking macaroni cheese and chocolate chip cookies. Yum! Yum!
