(Music: The Wonder of Wiggle Town, by The Wiggles)

Are you ready to wiggle!?

Have you ever wondered what it’s really like in Wiggle Town?

We did! We love the song “The Wonder of Wiggle Town” so much that we decided to bring it to life and make our own movie.

We explored all the amazing sights and personalities, from the clown with an upside down smile, to the fish catching the fishermen!

Come along on our adventure!

(Music: From the Start, by Laufey)

You know that feeling when you love something right from the very start?

Totally! Like the thrill of a centre pass in netball, or the smell of KFC on a Friday night.

Or even just that feeling of arriving at school and seeing your friends first thing in the morning.

We decided to capture all those little moments… the things we love.

This is our movie. It’s about all of that.

This week, a group of Year 7&8 students went to the KPMG offices in Auckland. They were given a tour of the offices and then spent the day taking part in some fun hands-on activities all about our term inquiry about Planet Earth and Beyond.

By now, we have had the election to form our new government. Lots of people have different views about what is important for New Zealanders. We may not be old enough to have voted this time around but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a voice.

We worked together to come up with this message to our newly formed government

What’s important to you? What would you want to share with the government?

Dear New Government…

Do you sometimes find it difficult to make decisions?

…But other times decisions can be pretty straight forward to make!

Do you sometimes find things just don’t go your way?

…But other times they can go incredibly!?

There is a book by Dr Seuss all about it called,

…OH THE PLACES YOU’LL GO!

Sometimes we feel really angry but we can take deep breaths and think calm thoughts.

Sometimes we feel sad and we can do things we enjoy to cheer us up.

Sometimes we feel worried so we can talk about it.

There are lots of feelings that we experience and that’s ok! It’s all about how we react to these emotions.

Do you ever feel like everyone wants you to go above and beyond? Sometimes it feels like too much but all we can do is try our very best!

Kensi had a test and boy was she feeling the pressure! The Year 5&6 extension decided to help her with overcoming pressure!
