Dream Ice creams

As our class treat for filling up our marble jar by - lining up quietly, sitting quietly in assemblies, walking around the school quietly and lots of other things we got to make our dream ice creams - they look delicious

Swimming Demonstration

We had our swimming demonstration on Thursday. We showed parents what we had been working on in swimming  - floating, kicking, diving under and for some of us putting our heads under the water. Thanks to the parents that came and enjoy the pictures.

Cicadas

We have been busy finding cicada shells around school so Miss Nation decided we should learn more about them. Check out this video clip on cicadas.

Glass Monsters

 A few weeks ago we entered into a competition for the Wanganui Glass Festival to design a monster. If they liked our design there was the possibiltiy that our pictures would be made into glass. In our class 3 lucky people had their monsters made into glass. Check them out below - I have put the picture beside a photo of the glass monster

Sports Spirit Day

Last Friday we had a  sports spirit day at school. We came dressed as basketball players, race car drivers, rugby players, soccer players, motorbike riders, supporters and even a ninja! We did some poses for our sport. Check them out below.

Monsters

We have been doing design for Art this term. First we had to think about the shape, colour and how many eyes, ears, mouths out monster might have. Next we created a couple of different monsters in our art book. Then we chose our favourite design to do a good copy. When we had finished we wrote about our monster and what it liked to do. Here are a couple of monsters and stories.

3 Little pigs and the big bad wolf

As we are going to see the show The Big Sad wolf this Friday at school Miss Nation thought we might enjoy this clip from disney.

Turtles

Today we were very lucky. Blake's Auntie bought some turtles in for us to have a look at. Most of us had a hold of them and thought they felt cold, slimy and wet. The turtles even had a race and the girl turtle won. We wrote some great stories about the visit. Check out the pictures and our stories.

Penguin Mosaics

As a treat for all the hard work we did during our dance Miss Nation found a good idea for some penguin art. First we had to draw the penguin shape and background on a blue piece of paper. Next we ripped different colour paper into small pieces to make our mosaic. We think they look awesome - check them out and tell us what you think.

Dance Showcase

Our dance showcase on Tuesday was a huge success. The kids were so proud of their dance and loved being penguins. Here is a clip of our two dances. If you would like the whole showcase ask at the school office as we are selling it for $5.
