Monday 14th - Thursday 17th April 2014

Wow, it's the last week of the term already!  It's been a short one but there has been heaps happening!  

Monday was the grand opening of our new library.  We watched it get blessed and Chris Hipkins cut the ribbon.  There was even enough cake for us to have a piece with our milk!

Monday was also the day for our time-out party.  We had a disco in the hall with music, games and a smoke machine.  We had lots of fun dancing.  

Tuesday was swimming sports.  Everyone in Pukeko participated which was fantastic, and it was great to see lots of parent support there too.  

As part as library week Alex came and read us a story in the library.  We love listening to Alex read to us! 

Wednesday was dress up as your favourite book character day.  Everyone looked fantastic and it was great to meet in the hall and see everyone's costume.  Mrs Nicol set up a treasure hunt for us, where we had to find the 5 'Wally's' (from the Where's Wally books) hiding around the school. We did this with our buddies from buddy reading.  We all won a lolly pop! 

Today was also our marble jar party.  Each time the whole class is on task we get a marble in the jar.  When the jar is full of marbles we have a marble jar party!  We chose to have a choosing time with iPads, music, colouring in, painting and mobilo. 

We has Discovery Time on Thursday and once again the 12 Tui's joining us next term came over.  We had an Easter theme today and made bunny ears and noses! We enjoyed having the Tiu's in our class.  

Today we also watched an Easter movie called Hop.  

After lunch we discovered that Easter Bunny had visited our classroom, and we did an Easter Egg hunt!  We all searched together and at the end we divided up our findings among everyone!  

Have a fun and safe holidays, see you next term!
