Lucy is still away sick. Her brother couldn't find Flat Julia to bring her back to school. Luckily Lucy's Dad found Flat Julia and bought her back just before playtime.
She is going home with Lilli for a fun weekend.

Happy Birthday Julia

Flat Julia is having a little holiday at Lucy's house. Lucy has been away sick for two days so we hope Flat Julia is not sick as well. I wonder what she is up to.

Flat Sarah and Flat Leigh

When Flat Julia was at my house. Sarah and I made Flat Leighs and Flat Sarahs. We had lots of fun making flat people. We took some photos on the trampoline. It was fun bouncing on the tramp, then it was time for Sarah to go home.

Flat Julia's Fantastic Weekend

When Julia came to my house we made a chocolate cake. When my friend Sarah was at my house we had fun making the cake. Then Sarah and I went on the trampoline and took a photo with flat Julia.

We took her to Karen's house to see her wedding dress,shoes and jacket. They were pretty. Keri tried some of the shoes that Karen was wearing to the wedding in Ireland.

On Saturday I took Julia to soccer. I took some photos of her on the soccer net.

Flat Julia slept on the shelf in my bedroom.

Flat Julia Goes Home With Sophie

I was the lucky one chosen to take Flat Julia home for her very first night in Brightwater. We played on the computer on the Barbie site. We had fish and chips together and today she is going to stay at someone elses house. I wonder whose. We had lots of fun together. I'm sure she had fun too.

Well Done Justin

Justin was one of the first children in our room to go on line at www.mathletics.co.nz and compete with the Australians. He did very well going into first place in the Matheletics Hall of fame for most of the day.
All the children have their own username and password so they can go on line at home or at school.The actual Trans Tasman Competition for Years 1-3 takes place on Monday 24 July.

Worm Farm

On Thursday Sarah Langi came to show us her worm farm. It had four layers. After she told us all about the worms and showed us all the layers of the worm farm we had to go in groups of six. We got given a pottle of worms. We looked at the worms then we put one on a plastic lid and shone a torch through it. We could see through the worm.
Worms eat paper, food scraps and green garden waste. They also need to be kept moist. Inside an avocado skin there were lots of worms.
Don't hold worms in your hand for long because their skin will burn.

Doug The Digger

This morning we went to the hall and Mr Mac talked to us about how he came to write a book about Doug the Digger.Lilli and Justin got to help read some of the book. He told us to do our best at school. We all went outside and listened to some safety rules and then we all got to have a turn on Doug the Digger. We had to use three hand controls to pick up a tennis ball from in some gravel and tip it into a tin. Thank you Mr Mac.

Recycling Cans

On Monday 19 June Murray Harris came to show the Junior Syndicate how he makes model planes out of drink cans. One of the planes took 14 cans to make. He sells the planes at the Flea Market on a Saturday. He gets to meet and talk to a whole lot of people from all around the world. He needs lots of cans so has people who collect them for him. When he gets them he has to wash them in soapy water. Because the cans are made from aluminium the planes will never rust and will last for many years.
