Australia

Last week we looked at Australia. We even tried making some aboriginal art.

U.S.A

On Friday we were lucky to have Brenna's mum visit and share information about America with us. We looked at a map of the 50 states and saw pictures of all the different animals that live there. At the end we got to try root beer floats. It was great to try something very American.

Thank you very much!

Britain

Today Lochy's grandad came in to talk to us about what it was like growing up in Britain. We found out about what life was like for him and he shared some very interesting stories with us. We talked about how different life was then and how London has changed now.

Hockey

Over the last 2 weeks we have been learning hockey skills with Connor. We have had 4 sessions and our last session is tomorrow.

We have been enjoying playing a game that teaches us to tackle the ball.

Pyjama Day

On Friday we wore our pyjamas to school. We had fun and some of us brought our stuffed toys too. We designed our own pyjamas too.

ASB Getwise

Today we had a super hero come to our class to tell us all about money.  We know that we should use our money to speed to our needs and wait for our wants.

Check out the funky bracelets we will come home with too.

Narrative Writing

We are learning to write narratives. We are working on describing a character and setting and writing about a problem and solution. Here are 2 amazing narratives we wrote today. Come and see the others in our books.

Once upon a time there was a sparkly, silver, scared seahorse. The seahorse was only a baby. The baby seahorse and mummy lived in a sparkly, silver ocean. One day they baby seahorse got very, very scared. She got so scared that she ran away from her mummy. The seahorse got lost in a cave but a fish showed the way out and they lived happily ever after.

Once upon a time there was a scary, mean dragon. Its name was Terror. The dragon lived in Dragon Hotel. Suddenly the dragon got trapped in a dragon trap. It cried “help, help, help.” Luckily the king eagle was circling in the sky. The eagle swooped down and broke the net. The dragon thanked the eagle. They became best friends and they lived happily ever after.
