Quinney's Bush

On Wednesday the whole School went to Quinneys Bush. First Room 4 went to the river with Room 9 our buddy class. After that we went to the waterslide but room 9 was on the waterslide so Room 4 went on the flying fox then room 4 went on the waterslide. I got one turn on the waterslide. After that we all went back to have some lunch. Mrs Willams called out "She's got chocolate cake!" that's my mum. After that Mrs Willam's came over to have a look in our chillybin. After we had lunch we played egg and spoon races and had a sack race. After the sack race that was it for the day. We all climbed into the cars and headed back to school and home. It was a fantastic day!

Crunch Munch With Cassie

This morning we went to a Crunch Munch Show in the hall with Room 3. Cassie told us how important it is to eat fruit and vegetables every day. Aleisha and Caleb got chosen to go up the front and choose a fruit or vegetable that they liked. They had to show us what they needed energy for. Aleisha did running and Caleb did swimming. At the end we all got to have some grapes. Some children had never tried grapes before. One day soon we are going to have a tasting day in our classroom and try new things.

First Day Back

What a lot of smiling faces on the mat when the bell went at nine o'clock this morning. It took a long time for all the children to share their news. They had done so many amazing things in lots of different places around New Zealand. We went to the library and each chose two books to go on our class library shelves. We had fitness on the Adventure playground. Some children did things they had never done before. After play we read with our buddies, wrote about something we did in the holidays and then got a new reading book. After lunch some children still had to get their reading books so the others had free choice. Then we went and took photos to get one to go on this blog. It took a long time to get everyone looking at the camera and not too spread out. It took a while to get packed up with our notices. We were all ready for our swim. Everybody had their togs and we showed what we could do in the pool. Next week we will be in three groups, dolphins, sharks and jellyfish.

Visit this blog often and you will be able to read about all the fun happenings in Room 4. Please leave us a comment. We love reading them.

Abby's Super Weekend

On Thursday night at 9 o'clock I went to Robyn's house. The next morning I had to have breakfast. Then I got on the motorbike to go to move the mother cows with the baby cows. Then I had to go and move the bulls across the river into a middle size paddock. On Saturday I did some lamb tailing and on Sunday we did some more lambs. Then we did some painting. Then my famliy came, Daniel said "Can we go down to the river?" and Mum said "OK". Daniel found 4 trout. I wanted to take the boxes home because I made a house in them. I gave one to Daniel and I gave the little one to Emma, and I got the middle size box.

Flat Stanley

On Wednesday I took Flat Stanley home. I took him to Bruce's. I took him in the milking shed and he sat in my overalls. I took him on the motorbike to see if a cow had a calf. Jacinda came with me, then we went home and locked the cows in.

At home I had to get the eggs from the hens and we got one egg from them.
I went on my mountain bike. I have got three bikes. I was playing with Dad.
