Giraffes are Bakers!

The children have been learning to follow instructions so that we can learn all about how they are written so we can write our own. The Giraffe's used their reading book to make a Happy Cake. They worked well as a team and followed the recipe precisely. The cake turned out to be delicious!
The Zebra's are next up..... I wonder what they are going to make?

Life Education - Hello Harold!

We have been so lucky this week to go into the Life Education Caravan twice. We have learnt lots of new things about how we breathe. We found out all about the Respiratory System. It is so important that we breathe fresh, clean air! The children loved meeting Harold and they all got their photo taken with him. Check out our slide show to see our cool photos!

Learning about the Past ... Letter Writing!

This term our topic is 'The Past'

We are going to be comparing what children's lives were like in the past compared to our lives now. To start finding out about what the past was like we are writing letters to our Grandparents. We have thought of lots of interesting questions to ask them like;

When you were a child...
* What toys did you play with?
* How did you get to school?
* What was your favourite food?
* How did you travel around?

This week we have been busy writing our letters getting them ready to post. We will be sending them in the post box down the road. Some letters are going to nearby places like Richmond and Wakefield. Some letters will be posted to the North Island to places like Orewa and Fielding. But the letter that is going to go the furthest is Ian's letter to his Oma and Opa who live in The Netherlands. Wow.... that is a really long way and we wonder how long it is going to take to get there?
We are very excited to see if we get letters in return...... we will keep you 'POSTED!'

Wow, Brookie-Lee is an Auntie.

Yesterday we had a very exciting visitor!
Brookie-Lee's new niece came to visit. She is beautiful and we found out that she is only 10 days old. Her name is Keva Lace.
Brookie-Lee is proud to be an Auntie..... she has been helping her sister Crystal look after baby Keva at home.
We hope baby Keva will come to see us again in Room 1!
