Ohoy me Hearties... we had some scallywag pirates!!!

Shiver me timbers.... Belfast School was taken over by troublesome pirates and magnificent mermaids on Friday. Some travelled from the far seas across from Belfast kindergarten... in our parade we practised our best "yo ho ho's" and "arghhs"  and we danced to sea shanties. We searched for treasure and we did our best not to flash our swords...

Ferry Mead Fun

The boys at school

Doing the dusting

As part of our Inquiry, Toys Through Time, we visited Ferry Mead. We loved dressing up and pretending it was one hundred years ago. We went to school with the very strict and bossy Miss Brown. We helped clean Mrs Grey, the policemans' wife's house. We played with old fashioned games for the indoors and heritage games outside. We made a thaumetrobe puppet. We loved seeing all the old vehicles and the bus ride was awesome.

Olympic Day

We loved learning about the Olympics. To celebrate the Olympics we had an Olympics Day. Room 2 learnt about China and we competed as China in a range of fun sports and activities. We had flags and waved them proudly at our Opening Ceremony. We made crafts such as medals, torches and Olympic rings. Then we competed in sports such as hurdles, shot put, gymnastics and discuss.  We have been following the New Zealand Olympic team with interest....

Emily did a wonderful job reading to us. She read a fabulous book about kittens. We were so impressed at how she could even read up side down!!!
