Busy Week





Room 1 has been very busy with two weeks of swimming lessons at the Aquatic Centre and then taking the school assembly on Friday. The children had lots of fun at the pool and their swimming ability really improved. Assembly featured Autumn art work, poems and swimming lesson demonstrations.

Room 1 Visitor

 Caleb's Mum brought his new puppy Sally to school this morning. She is eight weeks old and very cute.
We all patted her as she sped around our classroom.

Three Little Pigs Houses

We made houses in our Inquiry Groups and put straw, sticks or bricks on the roofs just like in the Three Little Pigs story. Next we tried to blow them with a straw and see if the tissue paper inside would move at all. It was lots of fun and all the houses were quite strong.

Memorial visits




Yesterday Room One went to Lord Rutherford Road to see the statue of Lord Rutherford when he was a little. He was famous  because he split the atom. The jobs he had to do were to look after the garden. He also had to be a scarecrow. He was a scientist. His brothers died because two of them died in a boat. The boat tipped over and they drowned. Also, one little brother had hooping cough. by Stella
Yesterday Room One went to see the war memorial and the Lord Rutherford one. He was a scientist. The wall is a split like an atom. When he was little he went to three schools. Their names are Foxhill, Nelson College and Canterbury. He is a very important man and he is on our $100 notes and stamps. His jobs were milking the cows and being a scarecrow to scare the crows from the veggie garden.
