    Science Interchange


Science Interchange will running for the next 5 weeks.

Each of the syndicate teachers has a fun experiment organised for you to do on Wednesday afternoon between 1.45 and 2.45,  This will be running for the next 5 weeks

 To help with Ms Williams's experiment I would like to ask if any one in Nav 1 could please lend Ms Williams some small pliers to use during this science Interchange. I need these to help bend copper wire. I will personally ensure they are looked after. 



     Reminder about Banqer Auction on Friday 5th June for Nav 1


    Hi Parents 

On Friday 5th June Navigators 1 are going to hold a Trademe style auction at school. We have asked the children to bring one item from home that can be auctioned.
 It could be: 

  • Anything they no longer want, toy, book etc
  • Something they have made e.g bracelet, artwork, baking ( make this no more than 3 biscuits, 3 cupcakes, one slice of cake)
  • If a child wants to bring a little set of something e.g. a set of 3 bracelets that will count as 1 item


The item will be sold for Banqer dollars ( cyber money) therefore no real money is exchanging hands. The child that bids the highest amount will get to take the item home. If an item doesn’t sell the child (seller) will take it back home. I have put a link in this email to a document outlining what we have told children about the auction.

Just to make sure your child is not bringing an item you don’t want them to bring, can you please send a signed note or send an email to say you approve of their item. 

The note can be something like this.

I approve of my child’s item.

Child’s name: ______________________

Item _____________________________

Signed: ___________________________


Many thanks
Sheryl, Jane, Catherine

Week 4 Star Wars Poetry

Star wars

Anakin skywalker 
Left us alone 
Changed his ways 
And now he’s gone 
His son luke 
Carries out a 
Dream travels the 
Cosmos 
I huddle up close in
My well heated bed 
Afraid and unsure 
Of what might 
Happen 
The leisure 
Of movies 
Is here
The fight go’s 
On 
The battle is won 
Darth vader has 
Perished 
Now lukes 
No.1

By Elana weaver

Grrrrrrrr
Glowing lightsabers 
Swing through the air
Pump action shotguns 
Bullets flying through 
People's twisted bodys 
Aliens terrified but still fighting 
For there side 
Blood squrting out of there bodys when the poison arrows hit them
Enemies on the dark side get knocked down from the bulls.

Jett

As I come face to face with my opponent
Our lightsabers gleaming brightly
In the cold dark spaceship
I take the first move with a dashing strike
He spins and blocks my sword at the speed of light
As i reach over and flail my sword
I land a devastating blow
He resists the pain and runs toward me
Sparking and crackling as our lightsabers swing

The fight has been taken to the spaceships wing.

THE STAR WARS I KNOW AND LOVE - POEM 
In a galaxy far far away…


The good! 
Rex, a loyal clone trooper captain. 
R2D2, a little stupendous droid.
Chewbacca, a furry fighter and pilot, can be loud at the worst times.
Kit Fisto, supreme jedi fighter, perished at the hands of Darth Sidious.   
Obi Wan Kenobi, survivor of the Clone Wars, potentially the star of a
new Star Wars movie.
Mace Windu, held a purple lightsaber, also killed by Darth Sideous
by force lightning.
FN 2187, traitor stormtrooper from the first order, now known as Finn,
trusted resistance hero. 


The bad!
Cody, a not so loyal clone trooper commander. 
Separatist battle droid, a favourite, and trusted battle droid for the empire. 
Jango Fett, evil bounty hunter, and source of the clones. 
Booba Fett, son of Jango, eaten by a giant tentacled sarlacc. 
General Grievous, four armed maniac, and apprentice of Count Dukku.   
Darth Vader, dressed in black, breathes heavily through his masked
ventilation system. 
Supreme leader Snoke, in charge of the first order, enemy to the resistance
and jedi.


The Star Wars I know and love!
By Cooper


Star Wars poem
Light sabres slash
And machine guns boom
Fighting against the dark side.


Rockets soar overhead
And bullets rain down
Darth Vader lashes out
Then Princess Leia 
Screams.


A fire starts up,
Darth Sidious
Burns
R2D2 beeps and blusters
Chubacca shrieks
Sparks rain 
down
Causing havoc.


By Isla



Star wars
The screen blares in front of me
The blackness of the space
Suddenly a green light there
A flash of fire red
Suddenly the man appears
The one who hasn’t shaved in years
The stars shoot here and there
As looking out the window
Of the shiny steel ship
Right there
Stands the villain
Who is most common on star wars dress up day
The one who wears black
And that funny gas mask
Darth vader
Yes that's what they call him
And suddenly
There he rises
Upon us all and white army troop
Stand there by his side
Hmm this is getting boring
I don’t understand a thing
I stand up from the couch
And march off right outside.
By Lara

Sensational Star Wars

As I sit on the 
Tedious 
Sideline,
Loneliness arises 

Flourishing of illuminating
Lightsabers, 
From a universe away
Meet each other 
As bullets rapidly 
Rain down,
A gift from the dark side

"May the force be with you,"
I murmur,
Ewoks beckon
And I vow to join the never-ending 
Battle
Against Darth and his troops

Lunge,
Dart, 
Charge
Vault, 
Segmenting our unworthy opponents,
Until we fall, 
United, 
And tranquility enters 
My world of aching remorse
The galaxy realises 
That no 
No, 
Earthlings are
Immortal

"Bring,"
The lunch bell mourns,
Shrieking like a banshee
"Same time tomorrow?" My new friend inquires. 
"Yep!" I grin,
Excited for what tomorrow's
War brings.

                     STAR WARs

 trembling with fear  I fought the famous Darth Vader
I was hiding and hiding until there were no more places to hide 
What was I going to do now?
All I could do is fight! 
I fought with everything I could
But he was just too strong 
With my last bit of hope I struck him with my lightsaber
And he fell to the ground. 
Yes! I cried as the remaining crowd cheered
By Oliver Bouman 

Star Wars Poetry
The Ty-Fighter zoomed through space,
Zig-zagging around the blasts.
As it crashed into Jakku,
 and sunk into the sand.
By Ronan

Hans Solo
There was a man 
Hans Solo
Hans solo was a brave man
Yes he was
He fights dangerous creatures
He flies spaceships
His enemy was Kylo Ren

By Isaac dB


Ewoks 

Creatures in there frightful hole Waiting for their preyFabulous builders building creaky wooden paths up in the wailing treesLooking down upon the forest floorWondering what is below the earthThinking there is gold and gems To replace their wooden Spears and sticks
