Puppets

Clayton made this puppet with his Mum out of felt. He used a hot glue gun to put on the eyes and the mouth. His Mum sewed on the buttons.

What a Great Class

We have had a great start to the year. We have been writing fantastic stories about the exciting things we have done in the holidays. We have been drawing pictures using lots of colour and careful colouring. We have been bringing our togs every day. We made a graph to show when our birthdays are. We made another graph to show how many people in our families. Mrs Lines wrote all the names on so we will be able to spell them when we write about them in our stories. We really like having our very own desks and we are trying to keep them tidy.
We are going to put some of our stories on this blog so keep watching and leave us a comment.

Blowing Bubbles

Our reading group, Sarah, Lilli. Lucy, Carl. Cameron and Luke, read an article on how to blow bubbles. Sarah brought some cooking oil and dish washing liquid. Mrs Lines found some wire and straws in the cupboard. Lilli was pretending to be a cook mixing up the mixture. We had of lots of gooey fun blowing bubbles in the wind. Justin took these photos of us.

Justin At Orana Park

On Saturday after we were at Christchurch we all went to Orana Park. We saw wild dogs, sheep, calves,kiwis, chickens, roosters, donkeys and goats. I got to pat two sheep and two calves with Dad. Scott was too scared. I went on a flying fox. Scott and I went on a tractor when Jarrad was getting his face painted. Then Mum took Jarrad on the tractor. Dad took a photo of the giraffe,tiger,zebra,lion and spider monkeys too and a photo of me with the lion. When the lions got fed with the truck one jumped onto the top of the trucks cage. Two lions fought over one bit of meat. I tripped up on a tree stump and I landed straight on my tummy. Scott and I went into the kiwi place. It was spookey and dark. I was scared about the dark because I don't like dark.

Skye's Flat Stanley Goes to Takaka With Caleb

In the weekend I took Skye's Flat Stanley home. We went to Takaka. We all went to Guy Fox. It was a wee while until it started. It was fun because I had to dodge all of the flames that were flying at me. Catilin was playing with her friends that she has over there. Only Nana went white baiting because she puts the makers out and she came from her house in the morning. Grandad and I went scalloping. The first time Catilin said she wanted to come but when we got halfway Catilin was crying. Flat Stanley loved it so did I. We had to go back and drop her off then we had to go back again.Skye's Flat Stanley and I measured the scallops and we dropped them in a bucket. We went in the Campervan with FS. On the way back we had chips and boiled eggs. We had icecream for pudding too. On the way back I was asleep just about the whole time. I rang Mum up and FS told Mum he was having a good time there. FS was sick on the way back. We knew because he told us so we stopped the Camper van. I was a wee bit sick too. Mum didn't come because she needs to do work at the hospital.
