E3 below is a very cool class of Yr 5 + 6 students who are busy like us learning, creating and sharing about themselves on their class blog.

Click on the link above and read some of their fascinating blog posts. My favourite posts are “We’re Famous” and “Interesting Inventions”.

E3 we have talked a little about “Humility” this term. We have learnt that being humble means thinking of others and their needs, putting them before us. The following verse taught us this:

“Don’t do anything only to get ahead. Don’t do it because you are proud. Instead, be free of pride. Think of others as better than yourselves.
None of you should look out just for your own good. You should also look out for the good of others.”
Philippians 2:3-4

Have a look at the following picture and read John 13:4-15.
What has this scripture got to do with being humble?

Leave a Comment with the answers to the following:

Picture 1: Name the Statue and the city it is in.

Picture 2: What sport is Kiwi watching?

Kia ora E3!

I have been thinking off you while on holiday overseas and are hoping that you finished Term 1 well with Miss Riggar.

I am sorry I haven’t posted for a week. I have been unable to upload photos until now.

I would like to introduce you to Kiwi. He has been traveling with me and loves photo opportunities. It is funny because usually he likes to hide in our bags (he is a bit shy), but when he hears the camera go ‘snap’ he makes a lot of noise demanding that we include him in the photo.

Anyway – can you answer the following questions by leaving a “Comment”?

Picture 1: Who is this character and where are we?
Picture 2: Canada has a famous ski village. Which one is Kiwi at? (Tip: it is close to Vancouver.)
Picture 3: What is the name of this place in Vancouver?
Picture 4: What ethnic group do these “Totem Poles” belong to?

E3 has sang and recorded the New Zealand National Anthem so that we could share it with our friends overseas. We have recorded this version in Maori.

Mrs Jane’s Class = Jakarta, Indonesia
Mrs Cofino’s ESL Class = Bangkok, Thailand

On Thursday the 10th of April we had Pirate Day! We had loads of fun dressing up. As part of Pirate Day we had a shared lunch, it was like a banquet. Tatiana’s Mum made an awesome pirate cake. There is a picture of it. We all dressed up as different pirates. It was the best day ever. We had a Pirate Day because it was the end of our pirate topic. So thanks to all the Teachers that organised this day – your the best!!
