Dear Room 2,

I have sent you an e-card. It is an electronic way to send a letter. You might like to send an e-card to a friend.

Our Spider Masks

We made spider masks because we read a story and there was an old woman and two spiders. We drew korus and then we did rubbings on the concrete. Mrs Paterson put them on a headband.
By Lily

People wear masks so they can pretend to be someone else. We pretended to be a spider like the spider in “The old woman and the spiders.”

We made Humpty Dumpty's yesterday as our letter of the week is Hh. Today we wrote letters to Humpty Dumpty to see how he was feeling after his fall.

Lily and Micahla are this weeks bloggers and these are their letters:

Dear Humpty Dumpty,

Where are you Humpty Dumpty? Are you at hospital Humpty Dumpty or are you at home? How are you feeling? How about I come and see you Humpty.

From Micahla

Dear Humpty Dumpty,

Are you alright? Are you in hospital? Did you break any bones? Do you want me to visit you and my mum could visit you too.

From Lily

Today it was uniform day. Children could dress up in their club uniform. We saw a Pippin uniform, Kea uniform, motor cross uniforms and dance, rugby, soccer, gymnastics uniforms. I couldn't wear my uniform because it is too cold to wear togs!!!

by Joshua

It is cool having uniform day. I am having fun wearing my Pippin uniform at school. I like Pippins because we get to colour in pictures and make pizza.Next Tuesday our Pippin Teacher is going on a holiday so we are going to have some other people.
