Cody's Birthday

On Saturday it was Cody's birthday. We had a ride on a fire engine. Cody had a fire engine cake. It was yummy. Cody was turning five. He got a radio and a whistle. I had fun.

Discovery 31 July

At Discovery Time this morning Cushla helped us make chocolate muffins with Nadine's special recipe. They had rice flour in them instead of normal flour. Mrs Lines and Georgia had to go to the Four Square shop to buy vinegar for the cake. Most of us iced one and put sprinkles or hundreds and thousands on the top.
We also made tea in a real teapot. We made models with the knex that Mrs Lines bought on Trade Me. Some girls played Twister. Jared has mastered Life Guards, saving 10 people. Skipping was another activity. The red playdough we made last week was still okay to use. Cameron and Matthew put worm wee around our daphne bush and the other plants in the garden outside our room.

Pet Lamb Visit

This morning Cameron's Mum and Dad brought two pet lambs to school to show the class. Their names were Bart and Mow. Some kids got to feed them. They are pets because Bart's Mother died and Mow's mother didn't want him.

Hannah Montana

On Wednesday I went to the Movie Theatre to see Hannah Montana with Mum, Mandy and Sierra. It was loud at the start. I saw Julie,Taylor and Aimee. The movie went for 2 hours and forty five minutes. After the movie we went to McDonald's for lunch. Sierra and I had an Ice Age 3 combo and blue fanta. It was bubble gum flavoured. Then Mandy went to pick up Ashlee from daycare and we went to pick up my brother from my Aunty's house. When we got there my cousin was playing a game. Then we went home and had a rest.

Balloon Fun

We had a class treat on Thursday. After lunch we went to the hall with the balloons that were left over from the book fair. We had heaps of fun having races, trying to keep them off the floor with a partner and at the end we had to sit on them to pop them.

Skyping Josh

This morning we made a Skype call to Josh who has been at home sick all week. Jamie told him all about his mountain biking. Josh is doing some baking this morning with his Mum. He wants to get better as he is going into hospital next week.
