NZ Youth Pipe Band

The NZ Youth Pipe Band came to do a concert. We were all so impressed. The music was really LOUD and the bag pipes and drums were awesome. We even go to take turns and have a go. It's Mrs Kearns favourite! It was great to see and hear all the instruments up close!

Scientists in the kitchen!

We made jelly to experiment with heating and cooling. We learnt to make the jelly we needed BOILING water to turn the solid jelly crystals in to liquid and then we needed a fridge to COOL the jelly liquid into solid jelly. The best part was testing how it tasted. We love doing experiments!!

Disco Fever

We had an amazing time hitting the dance floor... with some rocking tunes, flashing lights and some smooth moves... lots of us had an awesome time at the disco!

Goldilocks and the 3 Bears

Yum Yum! We have been investigating some classic fairy tales and in Science we are learning about Heating and Cooling. So we did some observations, made some predictions and made some tasty porridge. Our porridge was just like baby bears.... it bubbled and popped when it got really hot....  Luckily no one was chased away and there wasn't any broken furniture!

Our first school trip!!

One rainy Monday a bunch of very excited explorers took a trip to the Canterbury Museum. They travelled in style... a bendy bus that stretched right down the road.  The explorers discovered interesting things- dinosaur bones, tarantulas, Early Maori artifacts,  a movie about a Paua shell house, amazing birds and so much more.... the explorers had fantastic parent help to lead them the way. The explorer's teacher was so impressed by the questions that were asked and manners that the explorers had... they discovered so much!!!!

My legs are almost long enough!

The bus ride was awesome. We got to go on a bendy bus.

Levi spied a tarantula in the Discovery Room

We can be dinosaurs too

Wow! Look at all the butterflies

Easter fun!!!

We had a great time celebrating Easter. We made easter baskets with our buddy class. It was great to have their help to do all the tricky bits. We also had an Easter Egg hunt. We had a find the hidden number to color the picture- our prize was a delicious chocolate egg! We had a eggcellent time!

Sea Week Extravaganza- The Parade

This week was Sea Week. We ended the week with an amazing dress up day and a parade.  We had scary sharks, mermaids and even the whole ocean. We kept losing Mitchell as he was always camouflaged!  We danced in a parade showing everyone how amazing we looked. It was heaps of fun!

Room 2 takes a trip to Belfast Kindy

We had a great time visiting our friends at kindy. We met up with old friends, explored all the exciting things at kindy and  we met up with our friends who are starting school soon. We loved playing in the tree house, on the bars and swings.  There was so much to do! We're looking forward to having the kindy kids coming to visit us! We can't wait for Monique, Maria and Levi to start in Room 2 too!
