Thanks Illuminate!

We were so pleased when we read our blog and saw a comment from another school from the North Island. We decided to visit their blog and comment on what they were doing also. We found out that a boy from their school had recently travelled to Nelson. On our second visit to their blog we watched a video about making comments. Here is their video. Thanks Illuminate!

We write a story on the computer and it mixes up our words and then if you put them in the right order the plane takes off. by Jonty

Kids of Character

Today Room 1 and Room 3 went to Woodlands Retirement Home and shared songs, prayers and conversations with it's residents. Together we all observed a minute silence for those in Christchurch and Japan. It was a special time and so lovely to see the children sharing and talking with our elderly community.

It's a Beautiful World!

On Friday we went to Marahau in buses and walked to Tinline Bay. We got very tired on the way back but we had lots of fun. At Tinline Bay we caught crabs and swam in the sea. We had to get changed behind our towels because there was no dressing rooms. We saw some cool caves.

Signs

On Friday we learnt about signs. We looked at different signs and talked about their colour and their purpose. Then we had a go at making a sign.
