Stay Dog Safe

Today we had a visitor from the Auckland City Council come and talk to us about staying dog safe. We practised what do when we meet a dog and what to do if a dog comes up to meet us in a playground or at the beach. Can you remember the any of the 9 safety messages we learnt? leave a comment below.

Swimming

Swimming for room 15 starts next week, week 4! Room 15's swimming day is Tuesday and we will be swimming from 2-3pm. On our swimming day we need to bring our togs and towel in a swimming bag and hang it next to our bag. To make sure we do not misplace anything, we need to make sure everything is named.

Art outside

For Art this week we thought about what Art is and what you need for Art.  Today we left all our pencils and paper in the class and went outside to create art out of sticks and bark in the playground.  Have a look at the awesome pictures we made.

Planting time...

This week we did some some gardening! We planted four different types of seeds; radish, lettuce, water-cress and purple basil! We dug a hole and covered the seeds in dirt. Our 'plant-sitters' take the planting trays out into the sun at lunchtimes and water the seeds at the end of the day. Now all we have to do is wait and watch them grow.

Moving to the beat

Today we learnt that we don't need to have instruments to make music. We had lots of fun using this website to mix sounds, beats, and effects to make a song. Click on the link below to give it a go!

News for the day

Today we read an article about a HUGE pumpkin that weighed 805 kgs. It won a competition in Oregon, United states. We found out that the pumpkin weighed as many as 30 Leahs or 28 Eves. How many of you would weigh the same as the pumpkin?
