It is Autumn Time!

Here are some photos of the great autumn activities we have been doing at reading time. 

A hedgehog comes to visit...

Around our new toliet block there was a special visitor ... A hedgehog! Mrs Bing rescued him from a hole in the ground and then brought him into Room B so we could see what he was like. After that she gave him a new home on the field. 

We were very interested and asked lots of questions! We learnt that they like to live in dark places and they have spikes to protect them from predators. 

Super Certificates

Look at these fantastic learners who have been following the yellow part of the Rainbow. They have both been making great choices in the classroom and trying very hard with their learning. Keep it up guys!

Interesting Sharing

On Friday for sharing these two learners brought in some very interesting things to share with the class.

Here is Cate with her bull horn! She was able to show us the part where it was in the bulls head. Her brother got it and let her bring it in to share.

Here is Kaea with his thunder rock. He has had it since he was very young.

It is great to see people bringing in some different things for sharing!

Pipe Cleaner People

Today at reading time some of us made our very own pipe cleaner people. It was pretty tricky! We had to cut the pipe cleaners in the right places and twist them to make the arms and legs. Another tricky part was threading the buttons on for the hands and feet. We learnt that we just had to keep trying to get them looking like people. I can't wait to see the rest of Room B's pipe cleaner people!

Holiday News

Max!

Just before the end of term Kayden brought his new puppy Max into visit! Room B loved how Max was so friendly and wanted to say hello to us all. 

Athletics 2013!

On Friday the 5th of April Manchester Street School had their Athletics Day. It was a fantastic day, the whole school was out on the field taking part in lots of different activities. The most important thing about the day was that we all tried our hardest and did the best that we could! 

Here are a few photos of the day .... 

  

Special Visitor!

Look who came to visit us on Friday...

Mr Wheeler, our principal.

We sent him a special card to say thank you for a great show on Tuesday and he came to say thank you to us! 

Super Learners!

These people have been trying so hard to follow the Rainbow that they got certificates! Well done :)

We got the Enviro Award for doing such a great job as the Power Rangers. We will try really hard to keep up the good work. 

This amazing rainbow learner was the FIRST person in the Junior Team to get the Harold Friendship Award. We are very proud of him. 

Enviro Day with Mrs Cowan

Here are some photos from our Enviro Day last Monday. We learnt so much from Mrs Cowan. 

Here we are checking out our litterless lunches. We are all trying hard to make less rubbish. 

We are the Power Rangers!! It is our job to check lights are off at lunch time and to turn them off if they aren't. 

We went out into our class garden. It is VERY dry. We need some rain so the plants don't die. 

At the end of the day we drew some NZ ABC pictures. 

Thanks Mrs Cowan for a great day!!

Celebrities!

Who spotted these celebrities in the paper??? 

Room B is famous :) 

Crazy Hat Day

Last Friday we had a Crazy Hat Day to raise money for the Relay for Life. Everyone brought funny hats to wear and supported the cause! 

Here is Room B with their crazy hats.

Rainbow Learning

Here are our play dough rainbows. We had to make long snakes to make our names and our rainbows. It was quite tricky. 

Super Certificates

Look at these hard working learners who got certificates last week ...

Super Spiders

Over the last few weeks Room B have been making great choices in the classroom. This means that they filled up the marble jar! So all the lucky learners in Room B last week got to have an ice cream spider. 

Book Sharing

On Tuesday we love to share special books from home with our buddies. We are learning to look at our buddies when we are sharing.
