This morning Hannah's Mum brought her puppy to school. The puppy was scared of all the children because she has never been to school before. Her name is Eva and she is 8 weeks old. Tonight she is going to get a new bed to sleep in by the fire.

Flat Colin Goes Home With Josh

Flat Colin came to my house for the night. We took a photo and Jake and Riley were in the photo too. We played Guess Who and we had tea as well.

This morning the whole school met down at the hall to walk to school with Hamish Carter and Debbie Tanner. It was raining a little bit but we didn't mind. Mathew Arnold played the bagpipes. When we got to school we went to our classes and called the roll. Then we all went into the library and sang the National Anthem. Mrs Gulbransen welcomed our guests. Hamish and Debbie spoke to us. Mr Hitchcock presented us with an award for being the only school in New Zealand to have all it's pupils walking to school every day in Walk to School Week.

We went into the hall and had a yummy Sanitarium breakfast.
We could choose Weetbix, Ricies, Cornflakes or Fruity Weetbix. We could also have bananas or apples. We all had an Up and Go drink of milk.

After breakfast we had our class photo taken with Hamish and Debbie.

Then we sang Happy Birthday to Hamish for his birthday tomorrow. Then our guests had to leave to catch a plane.

We had a lucky prize draw. Hannah from our class was lucky again this year. She got a Weetbix towel.

When we got back to class we all got prizes.

Room 4 Holiday Happenings 23 April




Enjoy! --

Anzac Biscuits

We have been learning about why we have a day off school on Anzac Day.
We made Anzac biscuits. We used the oven in the new hall for the very first time. After lunch we shared our biscuits with our buddy class Room 9. They were sketching poppies. Their sketches were very very good.

Two Flat Stanleys came to Brightwater School from Elm Hill School, Vermont in USA. One from Henry and one from Colin. We took some photos on the playground. I took a photo of Abby and Sebastian. We are going to take them home with us for the holidays. They will have many adventures.

Rugby Skills

Today we got to learn some rugby skills when we worked with Chris. We learnt how to pass the ball to a partner and how to run and pass. At the end we had a game. When we got touched we had to pass the ball. We scored tries by the cones.

Flat Eric Visits

Last week we got a letter from the United States. Inside was Flat Eric and his dog Fosse. They are from Our Lady of Sorrows School in Texas. We are going to take care of them for a couple of weeks. They will have lots of adventures with the Room 4 children. Hannah took a photo of Flat Eric with Jasmin and Ellie.

On Wednesday all the Junior Syndicate walked down to the domain for the Waimea Schools Junior Sports. There were five schools. We were put into 18 groups each with the name of a country and we did lots of different activities. Each group had 6 games to play. There were 18 activities all together. Our favourite activities were the parachute and the earth ball. We sang the National Anthem before we started. We had our morning tea in a plastic bag and all the group put their bags in one big container or bag. We were really tired after the morning of games and the walk back to school.

Yesterday we went to Farmers. We had to get a toy for Aaron because we didn't get one for his Birthday. We got a potato head toy. It can change into Darthvader. It has a Red Light Saber.I helped Aaron build it.
