Art Canvases

Our canvases for the PTA fete looked great. Take a look at them as they were displayed in the hall for everyone to see. Thank you to those of you who purchased your child's art. They are very proud of what they have done.

Life Education on the second day was all about emotions and how to read them. We had lots of fun sorting out words for emotions and we also looked at body language. Harold sang us a song about good friends and the things that make him happy.

This unit of work was very timely as we are getting a new boy in our room next term, named Tim, and we were all thinking of good ways we can make him feel welcome. Harold was very impressed.

Life Education

Today we had our first lesson in the Life Education classroom. Our theme is "Happy and Healthy" and today we looked at emotions and feelings when put in new situations. We also looked at some of the organs in our body - the heart, lungs, brain, stomach and small intestine and learnt about where in the body they are.

Tam the doll came out (Tam is a plastic life sized doll that has had her skin removed) and she showed us where in our body the organs were.

The highlight, of course, was seeing Harold the giraffe. Harold wanted help to do his homework on his friend Billy and how he would be feeling going from a one teacher country school to a huge city school.

Happy Birthday Jordan

Today Jordan had her seventh birthday. She brought her new erasers and beautiful address book to share with us.

Happy Birthday Jordan!!!!!!!!!

Our LEARNZ Fieldtrip

We have been on our LEARNZ fieldtrip to look at Rowi Kiwi on the West Coast. We have watched videos, looked at photos and researched Kiwi. We loved checking out what our Ambassador Ash got up to on his trip.

Here is a photo of our display of Kiwi information that we have learnt.

Our Art for the PTA Fundraiser

This week we have been hard at work on our canvases for the PTA art sale fundraiser on the 2nd October at school. In our class we decided to use canvas and the children are allowed to paint something of interest to them.

Please come in next week and see the finished products - there are helicopters, rabbits, kiwi, flowers, rugby fields and many other things. Each canvas will have a set value decided by the PTA. You can buy your child's artwork before the actual art sale on the 2nd and then it will still be displayed on the Saturday.

Harry's Chickens Visit

Today Harry's Mum brought in some 4 day old chicks for us to look at. They are very cute black and white ones. We learnt about what they eat, how to hold them properly and that they keep warm by a special warm lamp/heater.

Thank you for sharing them with us Harry.
