Door Decorating - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Kia Ora everyone! We have gone Harry Potter mad in T2 and T1 this past week for book week. One of the activities was a door decoration competition and we decided to base our walkway from the novel Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. We all chipped in and Miss Hines thinks we have done an amazing job. Judging takes place this afternoon. Fingers crossed we win!

Book Character Day

As you know, this week at Grey Main School is Book Week. This is a highlight on our school calendar and today we had book character day where we dressed up as some of our favourite characters from books we have read. A huge congratulations to all of those children who participated, you all looked fantastic! Check out our slide below that Miss Hines made, showcasing our characters and our costumes!

Buddy Reading 2019

This week is Book Week at Grey Main and to kick us off, yesterday we had buddy reading with another class. Our class was R2 and we really enjoyed listening to them read and read them stories too!
Thanks R2 for having us!

Our Door

It's Book Week at Grey Main this week and one of our challenges was to decorate our classroom door based around a book. We decided to do The Lorax and although the office decorated their door with The Lorax too, we were still pretty happy with our result! We used coloured paper for the background, Iris and Staci did our wonderful lettering, Honor and Ruby made our fantastic Lorax, Jazmine and Rylan found, printed and laminated all of our characters, Kaine and Zach made the trunks of the trees, Mia, Katelin, Katelynn and Corianna put the door display together and MIss Hines supplied us with the pompoms! Thanks to Mrs O who very kindly gave us some of her black pipe. 

We are pretty impressed with our work and think it looks great. 

Book Character Day

Watch the presentation below to see our fantastic book characters. Some of us went to a lot of effort to get the costumes that we wanted! Ka Pai Totara 2!

Wacky Wednesday

Today was Wacky Wednesday at school for Book Week. There have been some outrageous hair do's, some silly additions to our school uniforms and even teachers came to school in their pyjamas!

Check out a couple of the Wacky Hair Do's that appeared in Totara 2 today!

Our Door

For Book Week one of our class activities was to decorate our door based on a book. In T1 we chose to do the BFG. We added fairy lights to our door to symbolise our dreams, we wrote our dreams in dream jars and created a picture of the BFG.

Book Character Day

Well done to everyone who dressed up and came as their favourite book character. The staff had a great time dressing up as Harry Potter characters! Fred and George certainly had fun hiding under the stage!

Book Week PJ Party

Tonight at Grey Main we had a PJ Party where Nga Manawa was open from 6-8pm so children and parents could come along in their PJ's to read stories. We had a great time (although it felt a little weird being at school in our PJ's!

Buddy Reading

For part of our Book Week celebrations we did some buddy reading with Room 8. It was really cool to hear some of our buddy's read some really challenging books! Thanks Room 8 for coming to visit!
