Opti-Yachting

WALT assemble, and disassemble, a yacht. Next term we are going sailing at the Pandora Pond and we have to know some things about yachting before we go.

Where to put the sail.

Where to put the centre board.

How to attach the main sheet.

Where the tiller goes.

How to do some knots.

Plus lots of other different names for stuff on and around a boat.

We can't wait.

Year 5 and 6 Sport

This term has been a busy one for Sport for our Year 5 and 6 students.

 - Our Winter season sports have just wrapped up.
 - Many of our students have signed up for Term 4 sports (Summer Hockey, Cricket, Futsal, Miniball)
 - We have been training hard for our upcoming Clive School Cross Country and some of our runners have represented our school at the Coastal Cluster event last week.
 - Many of our Year 6 students are currently participating in the Super 6 Tournament in Hastings.
 - Optimist Yachting notices for next term have just gone home to all of our families.

Here are a few links and pictures of our Clive Kids showing pride in their sporting achievements!

A warm welcome from Miss McNeill

Hi everyone, my name is Miss (Maddy) McNeill and I am a first year EIT candidate teacher. I have been at Clive school since February, and before being in the senior school I have been with Room 4 and the Explorers. I enjoy playing the piano and guitar, and I love animals! I grew up in Waimarama  so I love the beach! I am looking forward to getting to know all of the awesome year 5 and 6s!

Cross Country Training

We are now in full swing with our Term 3 Cross Country training.

Each day, the Year 5 and 6 students aim to achieve their personal best by going a little faster or a little further than the time before. We have been amazed by the students who continually strive to achieve their best and show determination and perseverance.

Keep it up, Team 789!

A Warm Welcome to Miss Rodda

Kiaora! My name is Miss (Jess) Rodda and I'm a 1st year EIT candidate teacher. I've been placed in Clive School for the whole year and have just started my 3 week Practicum in Room 7! I've also spent time with both the Explorers and Middle School prior to this. I was born and raised in Central Hawkes Bay, but have spent the last few years working and travelling. I'm super excited to get to know this awesome bunch of Year 5's and 6's - don't be afraid to say hello if you see me around!

The Game of Moostry

Over the past week, some of the Year 5 and 6 students have been working hard to prepare for 'The Game of Moostry'. To participate, each class is first paired with another NZ class. The students then must video call their paired class and can only ask yes/no questions in order to figure out the following information about their paired school;
 - island
 - region
 - town or city
 - school name

Using only Google Maps, their questioning skills and their knowledge of NZ, the children will aim to beat the other school to figure out this information.

The following pictures are part of the Photographic Scavenger Hunt which we completed this week in preparation for our Moostry Challenge.

Enjoy!

Ukulele - Term 2

This term, the Year 5 and 6 students have been learning ukulele with Brendan (a familiar face around Clive School). Every Wednesday the children have a half hour lesson, where they learn new chords, chord transitions and strumming techniques.
