Making masks

We have been making paper mache masks with Room 5 on Fridays. We are making animal masks. We will add more photos and videos to the blog as our masks develop. We have to wait for the masks to dry before we paint them. We are having lots of fun

On Friday we made Gingerbread Men

Our Class at the start of 2009

We have started this year with 10 wonderful children. Nine of our children started last year, and one new boy started at the beginning of this year. We hope to have around seven or eight children coming into our class throughout the year. We have five boys and five girls. We have lots of exciting activities planned for the year, and have already had a visit from the Life Education truck,where we learned all about VIP's, which is what we all are, Very Important People, which all the children enjoyed, especially when they got to hug Harold the giraffe. We hope to share our exciting activities with you throughout the year.

On Friday six children from our class and our teachers Mrs Bidois and Mrs Humphries, went to visit Manaia Kindergarden. We went to give them a copy of the book and PowerPoint we had made about coming to our school. We had a cool time there, having our morning tea, dancing, playing with the children and listening to stories. Thank you Tania, Bev, Dee and all the children at the Kindy, for making our visit such fun.

First day back in Term 4

On our first day back we had our usual Monday assembly with Mrs Ogle, our Principal welcoming us back. We are looking forward to all the exciting things that will be happening this term. Next week some of us have 3 way conferences where we share the work we have done in term 3. We have taken our portfolios home to share with our families.

A Book and a Power Point about Starting School

We have made a book and a Power Point about our classroom for new children, and their parents, about to come to our school. We can send you a copy of either, if you contact us with your e.mail address via the comments option on our blog, or just contact the school.

School Production

On the 23rd and 24th of September our whole school put on a production called 'Kiwiana'. Our part was the 'Buzzy Bee' party. We had to dress up in our best party clothes. The older children from Room 2 helped at our party, one of them played Buzzy Bee and they also dressed up as party food, we had cup cakes and Cheerios, jelly, pineapple lumps and a big bottle of tomato sauce. We sang happy birthday in Maori and we danced and said some words out loud to the audience. It was a bit scary but everyone thought we were awesome. The other classes were awesome too.
