10th - 14th December

We have had a very busy week!  On Monday we had our school trip to Masterton.  We caught the train over and then walked to the outdoor pool and had a swim.  We then went over the road to have lunch in the park, and for a play.  It was a beautiful, hot, sunny day and we all had a fantastic time.  Thank you to all the parents who came along on the trip.  

On Thursday we were very lucky because Lucy's mum, Sarah, who has been working with us during reading throughout the year, came in and brought us morning tea.  We had delicious brownie, marshmallows  snowballs, popcorn and fairy bread.  A big thank you to Sarah!  

Today (Friday) was a bit of a messy day as we had singing practice all morning, and swimming after morning tea.  So we split Discovery Time into two, and still managed time to make these cute little reindeer decorations!  

3rd December - 7 December 2012

Wow it has been a busy week!  We have been doing lots of practice for the school concert next Monday and we were on assembly item this week so we have been practicing for that.  

We have started up swimming groups, and have been working on our freestyle, flutter-board, floating and water confidence skills.  

On Thursday, Alex from the Mobile Library Bus came and read to us in the Weta room.  He is leaving the bus next year so we made a big card from the class to give to him.  

We did well on our assembly item today.  Here is a video of it below.

26th November - 30th November.  

Our tadpoles have grown legs this week.  They are very small but if you look closely you can see tiny back legs on all of them.  

On Thursday we had a fun water activity day.  We did this with the Tuatara, Kiwi and Tui classes. We did four different activities.  The first activity we were put in teams and had to melt an ice cube only using  our hands.  The first team to melt it won.  Then we moved onto skipping holding a cup of water.  We had to try keep as much water in our cup as possible.   The third activity was in teams passing a wet sponge over and under each other until we reached a certain point.  The last activity was in teams again and filling a bucket up with a cup.  The first team to fill the bucket won.  We finished with playing hot potato with water balloons.  It was a beautiful sunny day and we all enjoyed going outside and having fun.  

On Friday during Discovery Time, Melissa (Jonty's mum) came in and did some baking with us.  We made pikelets and loved eating them at morning tea time.
