School Market Day

Room 1's stall

On Friday Brightwater School had a market. I was really excited. When it came, first up I was a shopkeeper at Room 1's stall. I felt happy, we were selling bags of pinecones, pinecone creatures, decorated bottles, decorated biscuits and more. Everyone had school money, $5, $2 and $1, and it was $20 altogether.We had it in a small, plastic bag. I want to have another one because it was so much fun. We got $225 for selling stuff on our stall.                                                                   Kate

Discovery Time

Room 1 does cool stuff at Discovery Time. 
There are tennis rackets and balls that are hit against the wall. We can do making BrainBox which is electricity stuff. We play with the blocks, stacking them and make buildings. Room 1 paints and draws. We play with the bouncing balls and we throw them on the wall. Our class can play with the playdough to cut, roll and make things. There is a big bouncy ball that is a tennis ball and we can play Piggy in the Middle.
Jacob's Mum  brought us a pile of dirt so that we can dig and make roads. We also play on the computers and ipads. It is the best time at school each week.       by Nate and Will

Suter Gallery and Museum Visits

Wow! we had such an amazing time last week. First we visited the Suter gallery and there was lots of different maori people and containers made of clay. The people only had three fingers. After we had a look at everything our class went to a small room with some adults. The lady gave us a piece of clay each and we weren't allowed to play with it. Our first job was to make a ball and squeeze it into a star with five points - Patrick Star! We made a head, two arms and two legs.

Room 1 and 2 had lunch at the Queen's Gardens and there were ducks everywhere because they wanted our food.

At the Museum Nicky told us lots about plants and so did some parents. Sue helped us do sketching, Rosa's made told us about the food chain, Lucy W's Dad taught us about native plants and Lucas's Mum showed us the parts of plants. We all learned lots of new things.
