Room 27's Tour of Meadowbank School


Room 27 have had a special visitor all the way from our buddies in the U.K. Robin arrived recently from Woodford Infants School in Plymouth. To make him feel welcome we took him on a tour around Meadowbank School and introduced him to some important people on the junior site! Mr Kinane helped us to do the filming! We hope that Robin will enjoy his stay with us here in New Zealand while his friend Kiwi is off visiting the U.K. We are going to help him collect lots of information about New Zealand so that he can share some of his experiences with the children at Woodford Infants School.

Room 27 and the rest of Year 2 recently visited the Pacific Arts Centre to find out more about how fabrics and fibres are used in the Pacific Islands. We have used the programme Photostory to make a video clip about our trip.

Iron Brion Visit

Yesterday Iron Brion visited Meadowbank School and did a special presentation for the Year Ones and Twos. We talked about how important it was to eat a balanced diet including fruit, vegetables, cereals, dairy products and meat or meat substitutes. Iron Brion then taught us how to do a little dance! Finally we had some Iron Brion burgers which were prepared by some parent helpers!
