Last day of Term and Farewell

We finally made it to the end of Term 3!  All the students are looking forward to their two week break.  It has been a very busy term with Film Festival, Cross Country, Assembly and Art Exhibition.

Sadly, we say good-bye to Yunji who will be leaving us.  We wish Yunji all the best at her new school.

To Room 19: Let us know what you have been doing over the holidays by posting a comment on this post.  Remember to check and edit your writing before you post.  You may want to get someone to check it before you submit.  Make sure that they are 'quality comments'.

Great Term

Dear Meadowbank School,

Had a great Term 3 this year, and sad to end it.
See you next term.

From Amy-Rose, Room 19, Year 3

Orange Day at Meadowbank School

These are the people who dressed up in Orange. The whole school voted for a fruit or vegetable and Orange won. Then everybody in the school needed to dress up in orange including all the teachers. It was very funny to see everybody's crazy and creative costumes at the school. Last week the actual elections happened so the student council decided it would be cool to have elections at school.

My Awesome Term

Do you know what I enjoyed in Term three?


What I liked was doing year 3 sport.  In Year three sport we play sports e.g hockey, bullrush and ball steal.  My favourite game is bullrush.

I also like clubs that the school has. These are the clubs - Junior Choir, Chinese dance, Pacific dance, Asian dance, Senior choir, Kapa haka and the lucky last ukelele.


I also enjoyed the Year 6 production I liked little red riding hood.

The Exciting Term 3

The first thing I enjoyed this term was cross country.

First we walked to College Rifles.  Next we saw the girl race they were very quick. Then the boys got up, we did a warm up with Mr Ramdhanie. Finally we went to start line and then we started to run.  I came 8th.

The second thing I enjoyed was the disco.

First I did my hair and I put on my clothes.  Next I went to the disco with my friend Sacha.

Then we partied so hard that we got sweaty. Finally we got to eat and then we went home.

My third thing I liked this term was the assembly.

First thing I did was went on the stage.  Next the people came in to watch our assembly.

Then we started our assembly.  It was cool.  Our assembly was about kos and movie making.  Finally we finished our assembly.

My Term 3 Reflection

What I enjoyed learning the most this term was our art and year 3 sport and assembly. 

In our class we made stain glass window with a flower in the middle using dye. Our  class art was the best and put in the office.  It was fun making the art.

In Year 3 sport we played hockey and a ball game and bull rush. I like Year 3 sport because you get to do running and lots fun games like football.

At assembly I liked doing my part and doing the ukelele also the song was fun and loud I think our assembly was awesome.

The Amazing Term 3

This term has had lots of different  things happening but I will only explain some.

Book Week:  There was a parade of book characters on the courts and there was a book swap.

Cross Country: We walked to College Rifles to do Cross Country. We needed to run 2 laps of the field. It was very hard running the Cross Country Race.

The Disco:  At the Disco there were lots of people. It was one of my favourite attractions of the year. The tremendously terrific magnificently styled glowing lights shimmered in the noisy hall.

Our Art for the 'Art Exhibition'.

Our Stained Glass Window Art

We looked at some Stained Glass Windows and talked about where we had seen them and we said we had seen the Stained Glass Windows in Churches. 

When we made our art for the art exhibition we had to draw a flower with geometrical shapes. After all of us had finished our drawings we then mixed some black paint and PVA glue so we could get some black gluey mixture. We then squeezed it from a bottle on to our paintings and let them dry. 

When they dried we then dyed it all sorts of colours.

What I Like At School

 I like my new school because it is very good. The new school’s friends are very nice.

 I like my friend. My friend is Lily. She is very nice. She is my beautiful friend. I play with Lily. We play on the playground on the monkey bars.

 I like drawing at school. I like drawing ponies. I like reading at school. The library books are very beautiful. I like animal books. They are cute.

 I went to the school Disco because I like parties but I don’t like to dance. Lily didn’t go to the Disco and I missed her.

Amazing Art

On Wednesday Room 19 went to see the art exhibition.
Some of the art was marvelous my favourite art was a black tree with a black bird with different coloured buttons for leaves. But that does not mean I did not like the rest. The button s were different colours like red, pink, green , blue, yellow and lots more different colours.
Every class did there own type of art and a canvas. The black trunk made me like it. This is how it looks.

Oral Language - Artists

This week is 'Art Exhibition' at Meadowbank School.  The students task this week is to talk about an artist of their choice.  Some dressed up as the artist, others put together powerpoint presentations while others read out information and showed pictures.

Here are some of the powerpoints of some of the students who presented their artists earlier this week.

Student 1 - Timmy Tyne

Student 2 - Sally King

Student 3 - Clementine

Miss Lovely

Scene one: Classroom

Students: Merry Christmas Miss Scrooge!

Miss Scrooge: Ha! UN-merry Christmas to you, little squirts! It's the last day of the school year today. For most children. But you lot will be coming back in on Monday! Christmas Eve with me and... LOTS OF SUMS!

Students: ohhh noooooo!

MS: Oh Yes, Actually! Christmas is a terrible time of the year. Children need sums and homework. Lots of it. These miserable summer holidays, your homework is 1000 points of Mathletics.

Sally King: I could do that in one day!

MS: That's good, Sally. Because you'll have to do that EVERY day of the holidays. Along with two book reports every week and a 3000-word essay on the snail. It's the most boring animal I can think of, but it's still more interesting than you lot.

Students: Ohhhh nooooooo!

Timmy: Sallyyyyy. Keep quiet.

Sally: I know the scientific name for the snail. Scroogeus Boringus!

MS: right! That's a 6000-word essay now!and 2000 Mathletics points a day! 

Students: Ohhhh nooooooo!

Clementine: Sallyyyyy! 

Timmy: We told you!

MS: Ha! I think I might almost enjoy this Christmas! Now. Out of here all of you!

Scene Two: midnight at Miss Scrooge's house. Miss Scrooge is lying in bed, stage left. Ghost appears, stage left. When he talks, Miss Scrooge sits up.

MS: [snores]

Ghost: Wake up, Miss Scrooge.

MS: Hey! What! Who? What's going on!?

Ghost: I am the ghost of Christmas and I have something important to show you!

MS: What? Look, you Stinky Spook. Get out of here before I call Ghostbusters.

Ghost: Miss Scrooge, you have lost your way!

MS: You're the one who's lost, Sheety!

Ghost: I'm not wearing a sheet. I'm a real Ghost. I will show you Christmas past, present and future.

MS: Yeah? And I'll show you the front door. Now get out.

Ghost: you have forgotten wha t Christmas is all about. first, I will take you back in time to when you were a little girl. And you will see how much fun school was.

MS: Yeah right, Ghosty. The only thing good about school was telling on people. And the best thing about school now is punishing them. Ha!

[Ghost waves arms. Noises from off stage, 'whoooo, whoooo, whoooo']

Miss Lovely appears, stage right.

Ghost: Do you remember your teacher, Miss Lovely?

MS: Oh no! Miss Jinglepants I used to call her. She was always telling me off and being nice to all the others.

Miss Lovely: what a wonderful day we've had today, class. Now little Lola Scrooge, you've been talking a lot today in class again. You've got a sweet voice but sometimes you do need to listen more instead, interrupt a little less, and then everyone can have an even better time.

MS: see! Telling me off again!

Ghost: Yes, but very nicely. And it sounds like you deserved it.

MS: Hmmmph. You might have a point. I would have put her, I mean me, in the corner.

Miss Lovely: now have a lovely Christmas all of you. I've made you all wonderful colourful baubles for your Christmas trees. 

MS: Ha! Jinglepants!

[Ghost waves arms, Miss Lovely disappears from stage, noises of 'whoooo, whoooo, whooo]

Ghost: What do you think now?

MS: Well, Bedsheets, you know what I like about you?

Ghost: what?

MS: Nothing. But I admit, maybe Jinglepants wasn't as bad as I remember.

Ghost: Good. I will now take you to Christmas present.

MS:  You got me a Christmas present? A new kettle?

Ghost: no, not that kind of Christmas present.

MS: A sportscar?

Ghost: No, not like that.

MS: A fluffy unicorn?

Ghost. No! Hush! I mean the present as in now. The Christmas of this year.

MS: Well why didn't you say so?

Ghost: You are so annoying. Anyway, whoooooo, whooooo

[Ghost waves arms, Timmy, Sally and Clementine all appear, hunched over notebooks on the ground. Writing furiously. noises of 'whoooo, whoooo, whooo]

Clementine: This is so boring. I wish we could go play.

Timmy: I agree.

Sally: At least Scrooge isn't here to yell at us.

Timmy and Clementine: Yeah.

Voice calls from offstage: Children! It's time to go to Santa's Grotto and see the real Rudolf and the Christmas celebrations and collect your surprise Christmas candy packs!

Clementine: but Mum, we can't.

Timmy and Sally: we've got too much homework to do.

Children together: This is awful [all put their heads in their hands and start sobbing].

MS: Oh those poor children. Who would do that to them?

Ghost: Err... You.

MS: Yes! Hurrah!

Ghost: But you've made them miserable. At Christmas.

MS: That's what those annoying little squirts need.

Ghost: You're ruining it for them and their families.

MS: No I'm not, don't be silly.

Children still sobbing.

Clementine: Miss Scrooge is so mean.

Timmy: She's ruining our Christmas.

Voice from offstage: This is so unfair for all our families. Miss Scrooge is ruining it for all of us.

Miss Scrooge: Ummmm, errrr... It wasn't me. Maybe it was my sister.

Ghost: That's ridiculous. Your sister is a plumber. Of course it was you.

MS: Oh no. Am I really that bad?

Ghost: Obviously. Why else would I be here?

MS: Oh no. [looks thoughtful]

[Ghost waves arms, Timmy, Sally and Clementine all walk off. noises of 'whoooo, whoooo, whooo]

Ghost: Finally, let me take you to Christmas future.

MS: Oh no. Do we have to? That's really not necessary.

Ghost: It is. You need to see what will happen if you carry on being mean.

MS: No, I don't want to see this.

[Ghost waves arms, Timmy, Sally and Clementine all walk on wearing hard hats and carrying clipboards. noises of 'whoooo, whoooo, whooo]

Timmy: Now that we're grown-ups, we can finally bulldoze this school. No one comes to it anymore. 

Clementine: yes, everyone left once they were in that old Miss Scrooge's class. 

Sally: They told their friends, who all told their friends and pretty soon the whole school was empty.

Timmy: So now we're going to turn it into a car park and a museum of lampposts, snails and other very boring things. It's the perfect end to the worst time of our lives.

[they walk off]

MS: Noooooo! It can't be true.

Ghost: It isn't true. Yet. You have the power to change it.

MS: No, I don't. I can't.

Ghost: You can. You need to be nice to your class. You can save the school.

MS: But how can I be nice? I'm giving them sums and homework. It's what they need.

Ghost: you're giving them too much. You need to soften up a bit. Let em have fun. Have fun with them.

MS: Ok, ok, I'll try. But if I can't do it, I might need your help.

Ghost: Oh yes, I'll be watching...

[Ghost waves arms, whoooo, whoooo, steps off stage and Miss Scrooge falls back asleep]

Scene Three: the classroom. Students Sally, Timmy and Clementine

Sally: Miss Scrooge is late. Let's wreck the place.

Timmy: No way, we'll get even more homework, and you've already earned us a tonne.

Clementine: Yeah. No one likes Miss Scrooge, but we have to be good or we'll get into a tonne of trouble.

Sally: Why do we have to obey her rules? They don't make sense and they're so mean.

Timmy: Well one of her rules is no smart Alec comments, miss smart Alec.

Clementine: Hey cut it out, I can see her coming.

Sally: hey. I think she's smiling.

Timmy and Clementine: Smiling?

Timmy: uh oh, what does that mean?

Clementine: I don't know, but it can't be good.

MS walks in, smiling and wearing a nice colourful scarf.

MS: Good morning, children!

Sally: Huh? 

MS: and Merry Christmas!

Timmy: what's going on?

Clementine: She didn't call us squirts!

MS: I've brought Christmas treats for everyone.

Sally: Hey?

MS: And Christmas crackers.

Timmy: miss Scrooge, you're being nice. What's that about?

MS: It's Christmas, Timmy Tyne, and it's time for fun and laughter.

Clementine: What about all that homework you've given us?

MS: Forget about the homework. It's time for fun!

Students: wahoo!

MS: And instead of that report on snails, we're going to watch... a documentary about snails.

Students: Oh.

MS: It's called Turbo!

Students: Wahoo!

MS: Merry Christmas everyone!!

Lunch at Meadowbank

Today during lunch we followed some of the students and took pictures of them out and about in the playground.

What do you like to do during your lunch break or recess times?

Year 3 Sport

Every Monday afternoon, the Year 3's have sport.  Over the term we have been playing netball, hockey, football and rugby.

Today the Year 3's played one big game.  It was a lot of fun.  We practiced a lot of skills we had learnt playing the sports.

Special mention went to our very own Astoria who showed really good skills in rugby.

We made a pic collage of our fun Year 3 Sport afternoon!

My letter of review of the year six production

Dear Year 6

All your costumes were amazing you did sooooo well, I wish I were in it too. I could dream to be up there.

My favourite part was when tweedle dum, tweedle doo, tweedle dee were fiddling around because they were very funny.

As well Hansel and Gretal were at the pet shop and a few make -up people were putting make-up on. They did look pretty fancy.

There was someone called Egor with a sharp protective helmut on.

You all were great.  I wish you luck!

Love Claudia

Room 19 Presents....

On Friday 31 August, Room 19 did a presentation on stage at the school assembly.  Everyone had a part to play and lines to speak. We did a play on stage and also made a movie to show in our presentation.  Our topic was "Keeping Ourselves Safe".We had fun presenting the play and did an awesome job!

Crazy Hair Day

Last Thursday we had CRAZY HAIR day at school to raise money for the school.  We came to school with our hair looking crazy and made a gold coin donation.


Hi everyone my title: My Crazy Hair.


It all started in the house making my hair first (my mum came and got the gel).
Then she SPIKED it up like a mohawk! My mum cut my hair a little bit to make it look better.
Then I went outside with my hair daye, it was red. I got the cap off, then my mum sprayed my hair red and sprayed some more. After that we went back inside, looked at it and it looked good! Then we go the hairdryer to make my hair stand up and the dye stay on.  I went to school in my car and when I got to school everyone was saying WOW!

My Craziest Hair
by Lily Vyle


Today is crazy hair day at school and I want to have the craziest hair at school.  My mum and I went to the shops to buy crazy stuff for my hair like umbrellas and pipe cleaners for my hair. When we came home we went into the kitchen and started to do my hair.  We did my hair in the kitchen because it was messy work and we needed a table to spread all the stuff on to.
First we got some hairspray and put my hair really high.  Second we got a headband and put it around my hair and we attached pipe cleaners to it.  Umbrellas were attached to the pipe cleaners.  There was a pink pig on top of my hair!
My mum sprayed some red hair spray on my hair and we got streamers and tied them onto my hair.
I went to school and people said "You have the craziest hair in the school" and I said "thank you very much, and it didn't take long to make and it was very simple"!

Happy Birthday!

Here are James, Orlando and David rehearsing for Room 19's assembly performance last Friday.  They did a wonderful job playing the song in assembly.  Tino pai boys!
