Time to practice!

Here are the links for our songs for choir. REMEMBER: we need to know these lyrics off by heart!!

Walking in the Air (Snowman Song)

Jingle Bell Rock

Te Harinui (this is done by another school, but gives you something to practice with)

This Friday, you won't have your lyrics with you, so make sure you know the words!

ROCKETS!!!!

This term we are studying space and earlier this term we finger painted our backgrounds. Look at the mess!!!!!!

Our Plays

As noted in our class newsletter, we are looking at plays for our reading over the next few weeks. This is great for them to boost their confidence, increase their public speaking skills and really work on expression with their reading.

We will be practicing a few different plays over the coming weeks, in the anticipation of creating a "big finale" with costumes and props etc! Wohoo!!

Anyway, here is our first real attempt at our plays.......

So that is our first attempt. We are working on them and I can't wait to see what we look like in the end!

Our "World Famous" school

Movies about St Albans School

Some children from Year 4 worked together to create movies that celebrate

our school.

The first job was to take quality photos of life around St Albans to

use in the movie.

We then had to choose a way of organising these images. After a lot of

discussion it was decided to use; our values, an A-Z, the thinking hats and

the past, present and future.

We have entered the movies in an eTime competition. The movie with the

most views is the winner. So tell your friends and get watching!

Check out the movies here:

An A-Z of St Albans School by Zoe, Ngahiraka and Hilary

St Albans and the Thinking Hats by Finn, Whiti and Ava

St Albans and Our Values by Roisin, Pieta and Annabel

Past, Present and Future of St Albans by Ethan, Jack and Emma

Dress Up Parade

We all looked so amazing at our parade! Even Mr McKenzie got dressed up!

BOOK WEEK!!!!

This week St Albans School is celebrating Book Week.

In the office, there is a display of books from Scholastics that are available for purchase. The students all went through yesterday and made their "wish lists".

On Wednesday and Thursday, before and after school, the book fair will be open for parents/caregivers etc to go and have a look and make purchases. Please note that you can also purchase books to donate to our school library.

This week is a fantastic opportunity for you and your family to take time out and read. Please share this exciting time :-)

On Thursday there is a "Dress Up As Your Favourite Book Character" day. We are encouraging students to try and bring along the book (or a picture of their book) from which their character comes. There will be a whole school parade/show at 9.15am on Thursday morning and we are encouraging LOTS of parents to be there to support.

This week, I am also encouraging students to bring along some of their favourite books for us to share as a class.

Here is a picture of Miss Chamley's favourite book:
