Our Butterfly

Our butterfly has now flown away into the sunshine. We took it outside and let it go.

Our first butterfly

Today when we came to school we found one of our butterflies had hatched from its chrysalis. We were very excited.

Water Day tomorrow

The teachers are planning a fun day for us tomorrow.
WATER DAY
We need to bring our togs, 2 towels, a warm jersey and a bit more food in our lunch box (because the teachers know we will get really hungry!!)

Our caterpillars

We have got some fat Monarch caterpillars in our classroom. 4 of them have already turned into a chrysalis.

We wrote some stories about them

I like the caterpillars. They are crawling. They are fat and they eat and eat.  Lauren

Whanau groups

This afternoon we were put into our Whanau Groups so we could do some fun activities with our buddies from other classes. Mrs Morgan's groups did activities with a parachute

Fizzing and Foaming

Our topic this term is called 'Fizzing and Foaming'.

We started today by wondering if jelly will melt.
We made some jellies today and next week we will see if they will melt

the materials we needed

Cricket

Today we practised catching the ball. We had to keep our eyes on the ball all the time it was in the air. We got better at this during the lesson. Matt gave us some homework and wants us to practise catching at home.

Fly Swat

Today we played a fun game called Fly Swat. We had to try and beat our buddy to swat a number on the floor, that Mrs Morgan called out.

Our colourful fish

Our poem today was

"Fishes in the water
Fishes in the sea
We all jump up
With a 1,2,3

Fishes in the water
Fishes in the sea
Fishes in the ocean
Trying to get free"

We decided to make some colourful fish

Cricket

Today Matt came to school and taught us some cricket skills. We practised chasing a ball and returning it, running with a ball in lots of different ways. It was fun when we had it under our chin and our arms were like aeroplane wings! Then we had to let the ball run down our bodies into our hands.  He gave us all a prize. Thank you Matt. We can't wait until he comes back again next week.

Maths

We are drawing sets that add up to 6.

Reminders

On the right sidebar, there is a section called 'Reminders'.
This is a good place to look and check out the things that are currently happening, or about to happen for our class. Keep watching there for updates.

Happy Waitangi Day

Waitangi Day is a public holiday for New Zealanders held on the 6th February every year to commemorate the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, the country's founding document, in 1840.

Official celebrations are held at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds in the Bay of Islands, Northland, but there are also many other events throughout the country. 

Can you work out (with Mum and Dad's help), maybe with a calculator, how many years ago the Treaty was signed?
