School in a tent!

Earthquakes don't stop us.
We had to work in a tent for two weeks while temporary repairs have been made to the classrooms.







Tent city!


We had fun and even had to mow the grass inside the tent!

Bird's nests

What do you have for breakfast?
We decided to try something different...a Bird's Nest!

We buttered the toast then put it in the frypan.






When it was partially toasted we took out the centre and added an egg.















We said Grace before we ate!



Yum!



What do we know about bees?

This term we have been finding out about bees. We invited a beekeeper in to tell us all about them.
Have a look at these photos and ask us what we have found out.






























We even got to taste the honeycomb.

Porridge for breakfast

As part of our Healthy Eating Unit, we looked at what we could eat that was easy and healthy.
We decided that porridge was a quick and nutricious breakfast.








We took a bowl, Scotch Oats and some water.

We added the oats to the bowl.



We added water and gave it a good stir. Then we put it into the microwave to cook.











It tasted yummy!

French stories

Room 5 children came to our room to read us the French books that they had written and illustrated.













The stories had been written in English first then translated into French. The Room 2 children enjoyed the pictures and the bright colours that were used. We could work out the story from the pictures.

Writing and Following Instructions

Room 1had written some instructions for making a Windsock. They wanted to try them out on us.




On Friday afternoon we went into Room 1and they showed us what they had written. We then used the instructions to make our own windsocks.







We selected the colored streamers .








We put holes so we could tie the streamers on the bottom.




Then we painted the outside and added the glitter. They look fantastic.
