Support staff day

We are really lucky to have Mrs Boyce as our teacher aide. The children made her a beautiful flower brooch that said lovely things about her and how she helps us. Thank you Mrs Boyce, we love having you in our room.

Harvest Friday Buddy Fun

We had so much fun last Friday with our big buddies at Harvest Friday. We made little walnut boats and feijoa muffins to sell for 10c and 20c. Our buddies helped us make choices from all the stalls. It was hard choosing as there were so many things for sale. We were very happy that we made $17.00



Tracks are for Trains with Constable Sue Bush.



At the beginning of Term 2 we were lucky to have Constable Sue come and visit us to talk about "Tracks are for Trains". We walked to the railway crossing and practiced all our safe walking skills from Term 1. Unfortunately the train came 30 minutes early but we got to look at all the things that help keep us safe like bells, lines to park behind. The following week we walked along the Rail Trail with Rooms 1 & 11 to see what an uncontrolled crossing looked like. Would you believe it...the train was cancelled! We were very lucky that they were working on the tracks changing the old sleepers for new concrete ones. We were amazed at how 1 machine could take out the old sleeper, dig holes for the new one and then push through the new one while sitting in his cab.

Today was our First House Meeting. We are all in House groups and we get together every two weeks. Our House leaders organise all sorts of cool things for us to do. We had to work together  and support each other in this activity with the parachute. Can you see Hailey, Sophie and Oliver?
Our House groups are called Totara, Kauri, Rata and Kowhai, each a native tree.

Using our class blog.

Today we found out how to get onto our class blog on the laptop pod. Then we supported each other to play one of the phonics games using the sounds we have been learning. If we want to try it at home the game was called "picture match" under Literacy links.
