Daffodil Day

Wow! Today was Daffodil Day. Look at all our bright yellow costumes!


Games Day

On Thursday we played lots of games in the hall. We worked in small groups to play the games. After each game we used the yellow, black and green Thinking Hats to talk about what we liked and didn't like about the games and how we could adapt the game to make it better. We had a fun time playing the games.

Thursday the 23rd of August

What an exciting day we had today! We were very lucky to get to have look at a lamborghini.
 
 
After we looked at the car, Turakina Maori Girls College came to perform some waiata for us. They used poi as well. We thought they were very talented and we enjoyed watching their performance.

Olympics Day

On Friday we went to Palmerston North for the Olympics day. We got to try out different sports like gymnastics, badminton, athletics and target throwing with blind folds on. It was lots of fun! Here are some photos of our day. This week we are writing stories about the Olympics day, so keep looking at our blog and you can read them later on this week!

Wheels Day

WOW! Wheels Day. It is going to be such  a fun day. Thank you Miss Simpson and the Student Council for organising another event for us.

Olympic Medals

This afternoon we made our own Olympic medals. We had to choose a sport that we wanted to win a medal in. Then we drew the sport on the medal and coloured it in -gold, silver or bronze. Some of the sports that we chose were equestrian, football, running, swimming and hammer throwing.
We had a medal ceremony and Mrs Noon gave out the medals to us. We all sang the National Anthem.

Ice Cream

This week we have been reading 'The Giants Ice Cream'. We made our own ice cream. We used cream, eggs, sugar and food colouring. We used the beater to mix the ice cream up. We put jelly beans in the ice cream too. We had to put the ice cream in the freezer to make it frozen. Room 7 had to be very patient waiting for the ice cream to set. It took a long time!
Thank you Miss Humphrey and Laura for helping us make ice cream!

Going for Gold

This week some Room 6 children helped us to make these photos. We had to choose an athlete that we wanted to be. The Room 6 children took our photo and then they put our faces on the athletes bodies. Wow! We also wrote some stories about winning a gold medal at the Olympic Games. We will put these on soon.
Thank you Room 6 for helping us with these photos!
