Audience Reader- Emily

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!!!

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!!

Emily and Jordan read to the class

Emily and Jordan read to the class. They did such a great job. Emily read "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr Suezz and Jordan read one of his reading books "Josh and Scruffy". We all enjoyed the stories and they were brave getting up and reading to the class. Ka pai Jordan and Emily!

Cross Country Extravaganza

On Thursday we had an awesome afternoon running our first cross country race. We had to run around a huge track, over tractor tyres, around rugby posts and over a hay bail and finally down  through the finish line. We worked really hard to run the whole way and we did our best. It was so great  having lots of  people watching. It was awesome! Tu meke! !!

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

We voted for the NZ flag

It was a tough decision to make. Do we vote for our old flag or the new flag? Everyone had their own opinion.... we made our choice and voted!!!!

Sea Week Chalk Art

After the parade we turned the concrete outside the Junior Learning Centre into a ocean filled with fish, mermaids, boats and all things oceanie. It was so much fun and we were amazing artists!

Reporter News with Emily

Emily shared a hedgehog that she had made. It was colourful and it was beautiful. She told us lots of interesting facts about hedgehogs and we shared stories about what we knew.
