Pack the Bus

Yesterday the bus came for 'Pack the Bus'. We all went out to put our contributions on the bus. Santa was there too.

Hutt Indoor Sports Centre Trip

Today all the juniors went to the Hutt Indoor Sports Centre. We were in teams and played lots of different sports, e.g. soccer, dodge ball, cricket, T ball, hockey, number soccer, scatter  ball and ultimate tag.

It was a lot of fun and we are really tired now!!

Wheels Day

Last week the weather was finally fine enough for us to have wheels day. We had a lot of fun on our scooters and bikes.
We scooted around a course and then we showed off some tricks we could do.
Here are some pictures of the people on the scooters.

Bread Making

For our topic today, We read 'The Little Red Hen'. She planted wheat, and when it grew, she cut it and ground it into flour. She used the flour to make some bread.

We have looked at wheat,  grown wheat men, and made bread.

YUM- the best bread ever - we even ate our crusts

Jellybean Tasting

Today we looked in our latest big blue box. This one was called 'Super Senses'.

We did the jellybean tasting test.
First we got into pairs and 1 person put on a blindfold.
They were given a jellybean to smell and they had to guess the flavour or colour.
We found this bit easy.
Next we had to hold our nose and taste a jellybean. This was a bit harder as we couldn't see or smell the jellybean.

We found out that the senses of sight and smell and taste work together to give flavour to our food.

Cress Sandwiches

We planted some cress seeds in our classroom to see if they would grow.
They did! We got some bread and margarine and made cress sandwiches. Most of us loved them.
A lot of us decided we want to grow cress at home!

Athletics Sports

Today we had our school Athletic Sports. It ws a lot of fun as we threw beanbags (shotput), threw quoits (discus), pony jumps (hurdles), jumping, and relays. We then went down to the bottom field to join the seniors and complete the sprints.
It was a lot of fun.
