The Leaf Boat Race

We made leaf boats and had a leaf boat race at the school pool.  We went back and wrote stories about what we did...

Riley's boat went too fast because it sailed the high winds.  I said, "Wow, Riley's was fast."  Mine sunk to the bottom of the pool.

We made leaf boats today and we went to the pool.  We put the leaf boats in the water.  We blew and blew and blew.  My leaf didn't go fast.

Ahniqua

We had a leaf boat race.  Riley's boat zoomed.  Everyone's boats were slow even my boat was slow.  Some sunk too and the water was a little bit calm.

Waiariki

We went to the pool.  My boat sunk.  My boat is a leaf boat.  I went to Paki's paddock to pick a leaf.  My leaf was yellow.

Pippa

Riley's leaf boat zoomed across the pool and my leaf was really slow.  Riley won.  I wanted to win.

Superhero Book Character Day

Wow what a fun day we had dressed up as Superheros! Snow White, The Cat in the Hat, Ninja Turtles, Spider-Men and more. We looked great!

Our Monarch Butterfly!

On Thursday Mrs Blakesley noticed that a chrysalis on our swan plant had turned transparent.  

Mrs Blakesley brought the chrysalis inside so we could watch it.

We could see the black and orange Monarch butterfly inside.

Within minutes the chrysalis split open and monarch butterfly emerged.

Riley said that the butterfly's legs were long and skinny like a spiders.  It's sticky legs helped the butterfly to cling onto the branch.

We watched as the butterfly moved out of the chrysalis and slowly began to unfold it's wings.

Slowly the butterfly's wings dried and filled with blood so it could fly for the first time.

This amazing change is called metamorphosis.  We were so lucky to watch it happen!

Red the Ted!

Red is our classroom teddy bear.  Every morning the children in Room 1 introduce themselves to Red.  He has loved learning their names and it has helped everyone in Room 1 learn each other's names!  

We practice using our classmate's names by playing some fun games!  We love singing, "Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar" and also calling names as we roll the ball to each other.
