The Gekkos come for a visit

We had a treat in Room 4 and Room 5 today when we welcomed some gekkos in for a visit.  We heard all about how they live and what they eat. We then all had a turn at holding them.

Kiwi Sports

Today our big brothers from St John's College came to teach us some soccer skills. We had great fun.

Blogging Problems

Well, what a shame....
I have been frantically blogging in Term 2 and 3 from my phone app and unfortunately nothing has posted, even though it have on my phone.

Lesson learnt !

I will have post a summary for Term 2 and Term 3 .

Hastings Art Gallery

We had an wonderful trip to the Hastings Art Gallery to view the exhibition and take part a Maori art workshop.  We made printing sheets of our own taonga and created a class print, we all had a wonderful time.

SPECIAL VISITORS

Room 4 has some special visitors.  On Monday, whilst we were in assembly a strange house appeared in the Discovery Room.  We fetched Mrs Molloy who suggested our visitors could be Brounies, who live in the north of England, Wales and Scotland.

On Tuesday, we found a letter from the Brounies explaining why they had moved into the Discovery Room and tell us all about themselves.

There was much excitement and the children set to work replying to Morag and Lachlann's letter.

After much discussion, the children decided to use string (and a bit of adult help) to haul all their letters up to the front door of Morag and Lachlann's house.  

They are eagerly awaiting a response.

Congratulations

We are so proud of Alex, Florence, Nikita, Ashlyn, Jack and Gary who have all learned to pedal by themselves today.
