EOTC Gear List

All your gear must be clearly named – it is your responsibility to look after each day.

You MUST bring:

• Sun block
• Sunhat
• Sport shoes (that can get dirty)
• Rain coat or jacket (if the weather forecast suggests)
• Snacks/Morning Tea
• Lunch
• Drink bottle
• Insect repellent (OPTIONAL)
• Change of clothes
• Plastic bag for wet gear
• Please no singlet tops, everyone must wear a top that covers shoulders.

Orakei Basin

• Swimming togs
• Sunblock (water resistant)
• Towel
• Sun hat
• Rash shirt or t-shirt which can get wet (no bare shoulders)
• Wet suit (if you have one - however, there are plenty at the Basin to wear)

You will need this to fit into your school bag, so that you can carry it on the bus.  It is always a good idea to have a practice packing your bag, so you know where everything is.

Super S1 had a great time learning about and practising some football skills from Kelly Sports

Check us out playing Sky Tower tag.

Welcome to 2016!

Wow! We are now back at school with all cylinders firing and ready to learn and have fun doing so.

The school holidays have finally come to an end and I am sure that each of us had a great time and a well deserved holiday break no matter where we were.

This year S1 will aim to add to our wonderful blog site, and continue to enhance our learning through the use of this online learning space.

There are a few rules to remember though ... here are our blog guidelines.

In working with this blog and any other webspaces, all students need to ensure that they follow these important guidelines. They are designed to make sure that you enjoy these spaces.

• Only ever use your first name or a nickname when you are writing on this or other blogs or wikis.
• Never use any other student’s last name.
• Never post any personal information–such as your home or cellphone number or home address on this or any other blog or wiki.
• Never share any of your usernames or passwords with anyone and never log in as another student.
• Always tell your parents or teacher right away if you come across anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.
• Remember the “grandma rule” that anything you put on the internet could be read by your grandmother so only write things you could say to the nicest of grannies.
• Be a good online citizen and never write or post anything that could hurt anyone else.
• Always check with an adult if someone asks for your phone number or to meet you.
• Never make arrangements to meet anyone over the internet. Always talk to your parents or teacher if this is an issue.
• Make sure you publish only your own work. Don’t under any circumstances use other people’s work and call it your own.
• Make sure that you read over your writing before you post it to check the spelling and that it reads okay. 

If you wish to change or add to these rules please post a comment with details of our reasons.

Use this first post as a way to introduce yourself and your family. Include - your first name only, the suburb you live in, your year level, your interests and hobbies, what makes you unique and special, your family information - how many brothers and sisters you have, maybe even something interesting about your mum and dad, and of course tell us what goals you want to achieve this year in the wonderful S1!

Have fun and welcome to S1 2016!!!

Dance Performance

With a flash of lights and the beat of the bass Room 30 students showed how amazing they are with this sublime dance performance. With assistance from light technician Glenn the show was a hit with everyone in the audience. Check us out!


 

Dance Preview...

Room 30 have been working so hard to show their learning around the big idea 'Connected?' in the form of dance this term. There has been a lot of teamwork, collaboration, problem solving and self-management - not to mention the amazing dance movements that have been created.

We share next week...but here is a little sneak peek.

Auckland Art Gallery - Last visit

The final visit by the Auckland Art Gallery and Judy Darragh allowed for the final sharing of the Creative Learning Centre design and also for Room 30 students to create some sculptures that will be used as part of the space.

It has been a fantastic and memorable journey and we certainly look forward to the grand opening of this amazing new installation.

Room 30 SPCA Day

Room 30 pulled out all the stops for their SPCA day today. We had a range of activities ranging from a movie room, obstacle course, face painting, disco, and Dominate hair product for sale.

All students did an amazing job and ran their activities with such a high level of organisation and maturity we could have easily forgotten that they were Year 4!!

We raised a total of $473.10 for the SPCA. What a great effort!
