Rainbow Springs - Kiwi Encounter visit

We had a lovely and enjoyable day at Rainbow Springs were many of the questions we had around the Kiwi were answered.

Player of the day

We are very proud of Matthew in our class, who won the Player of the day trophy for the Rugby game he played last weekend. What makes this more special is that he played for the Under 7's and he is only 5 years old.
Well done Matthew, we hope to see you playing for the All Blacks one day.

He brought his trophy to school to show us.

A 'Diary' by Thomas G

Last week Thomas went to visit his Grandparents. While he was away, he wrote down some of the things that he was doing during those two days.

Look what he was up to:

'GetWise' with money

A Super Hero from the ASB GetWise programme told us about making good choices with our money.
We learnt:
· where money comes from, why we have it and its value (coins and Dollar notes)
· why saving is so important
· about choices around saving and spending money
· the difference between ‘wants’ and ‘needs’






1,2,3,4... notes and coins...

Look at the worms!

We worked very hard on our vegetable garden.

We went out to look at our plants again and saw something was not right. We found worms on the leaves and they were eating our plants.

Some of us caught the worms by hand to get rid of them, but harm was done!

We will now have to wait and see what will be left for our planned Stir fry.

Cross Country practice with Room 5

Mr Sutherland asked Ms van der Spuy if our class would like to have a cross country practice with them. We always like working with our 'Big Buddies' so we went outside with them.

First, they walked the track with us, so that we know exactly where we will have to run. Then it was time for us to practice! They were much faster than us, but we all managed to finish our practice race.

A Story

We read the story 'The hissing bush' by Trish Puharich. Afterwards, we talked about changing some of the characters in the book to write our own story.

Here is some of our stories:

Bye for now!

'Dizzy Giddy'

We have been using the Dizzy Giddy (a slow speed spinner) in our PMP.

The Dizzy Giddy will help us to master our balance - which helps to unlock the ability to sit still, focus, concentrate, and think!
