Graphs

We completed our graph study today by making a bar graph from tiny teddy biscuits. Some of us didn't get all the types of teddies. We made our bar graph and then we ate the teddies. That was the best part!

A New Friend

We have a new friend at our school. During the holidays a rabbit (or hare?) arrived in the playground. He is very friendly and often sits in the carpark. The teachers have to check under their cars before they take off! We hope he stays but we don't want him eating the veges in the garden.

Treasures

Today one of our Dad's brought some Maori treasures to share. They were very old. He told us about them and how they were made.

Sports Fun

Today Duncan and Tails took us for some sports games. We did lots of different activities including scoring tries, catching balls in a net, ten pin bowling and soccer dribbling.

Smudge

We had Smudge, the lamb, come and visit us at school. He was hungry and some of us were able to feed him from his bottle.

Digital Cameras

This term we are learning how to use the digital cameras. We have taken lots of photos. Some of the photos we are scrapbooking.

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER

Yesterday Bears performed their play, "The Ant and the Grasshopper."
Ant gets stuck on a rock in the middle of the river. Grasshopper has to go and ask all the animals for help. FInally tiger says he will move so mongoose can get the eggs. When mongoose moves from the well cobra can get a drink and then parrot can get the bananas. Parrot gives grasshopper a vine so she can help ant out of the river.
Bears did an awesome job on the play.

ANYONE FOR TENNIS?

On Thursday, 18th September Room 6 had some tennis coaching. Three coaches from Wakapuaka tennis club came and taught us some skills. We all did really well and improved in a short time. Lots of us are keen to have another go.

Hippo's Hiccups

Poor hippo has the hiccups. All the animals try to help him but it's crocodile who gets rid of hippo's hiccups by giving him a big fright!
Hippos reading group performed this play in Junior assembly and did a fantastic job. Well done.
