ANZAC Day celebrations

At school we made poppies which we then put onto some wreaths.
We also had our Field of Rememberance, like all schools in New Zealand. The crosses had the names of soldiers from Lower Hutt who died in the war.
We had a ceremony where we put poppies onto the crosses and played the Last Post and said the Oath.
We also learnt about WW1 and saw all the things a soldier has to put in their pack - it was a lot and weighed about 50kilos.
We got to try on some of the gear.

writing on the wall!!

We got to write our names on the wall in Rooms 5 and 6 before the builders covered it all up!

Fun Ferns

We started Term 2 with Fun Ferns with Rose who taught us ball skills.  We had Fun Ferns sessions each day.  We learned how to land, to throw chest, bounce and rainbow passes, and  new games. It was fun.

Active Participation

Mrs Morgan took Rooms 3 and 4 to the hall and we did some active participation activities. It was so much fun we want to do it again!

Cross Country

We ran fast in our school cross country and were very proud of ourselves as we tried our best.  These photos show some of us finishing the race.

Greedy Cat

We have been reading books about Greedy Cat. We decided to draw him! We are very proud of our drawings and shared them at assembly today.

Gloop

Today we made Gloop. We mixed cornflour and water together.
We wanted to know if it was a solid or a liquid.

We found out it could be a solid and a liquid and we also found it can turn back into a powder.

It was really messy and lots of fun as we used our hands and explored the gloop.
