Anzac Commemoration

Paihia school commemorated the centenary of Anzac Day on 25th April by planting crosses
in a small plot behind the school.

Teachers Learning

Today I had four Paihia teachers come to Room 8 to learn how to BLOG. Here is the evidence.
The teachers took a photo, then up-loaded the photo to the cloud using the Picasa Album. The teachers then learnt to select the photo from their Picasa Album and insert the photo onto a POST. We found that, if we provide photo frames and insert the photo we can manage the placement of the photo.

Island Song Project

Some lucky students from Room 6 went with Ms Hadwin's class to Urapekapeka Island. They learnt about conservation and restoring nature to the island.

Project Island Song

Six students from Room 8 went with Mrs Hadwin to study conservation on our Islands in the Bay of Island. They learnt the importance of protecting the Island environment, so that bird numbers can grow and therefore we can here the birds singing.

Let Us Commemorate Our ANZAC

Last week we started researching about our ANZACs. We found out the first battle they fought at was in Gallipoli 1915 and that it was a disaster for our men. We also researched two Victoria Cross winners and "The New Zealand Soldier - Known Unto God."

Plus Room 8 created a few ANZAC Posters for our local Ex-Servicemen's Club.
