Gumboot Day!

This Friday it was Gumboot Day! We had fun wearing our gumboots to school and showing everyone. We also talked about how it was important to talk about how we are feeling and always be kind to other people.

This week we took our class photo for the blog beside the Kauri tree outside. It is so tall it couldn't even all fit in the photo! 

We also took a silly photo!

Egypt

We are learning all about Egypt in Room 4! Check out these videos below with interesting facts about the pyramids, mummies, Pharoahs, the Sphinx and more ... What can you find out about Egypt?

Lego Challenge

On Friday Room 4 had a Lego Challenge. Each table group was given some Lego and had to create something together with all the pieces. We learned the importance of teamwork, to listen and respect each other's ideas and have lots of patience. It was heaps of fun being creative and working together as a team!

Washing Day!

In the holidays Spot, Coco and Mr Fluff went home with Miss Whaley to have a good wash! They really enjoyed getting spun around in the washing machine and then hanging on the line in the sun. All the toys are looking forward to seeing everyone on Monday!

The Storyteller

Last week Stu Duval, the Storyteller came to visit Hinuera. He told us some really interesting stories about pirates and pudding! Stu was also an amazing artist and showed us how he draws pictures using letters and numbers.

Here is the link to his website if you want to practise drawing like Stu

This week the Room 8 PALs leaders took us for some games outside. They had worked with Brendan from Sport Waikato to think up the games and organise the equipment. We thought they were great teachers because they explained the instructions well and they were kind and helpful to us. We had lots of fun playing the games!
