Matariki Cloak

Last Friday R16 and r17 spent the afternoon together talking about Matariki.  Do you like this great cloak we made?  It is outside our rooms in the corridor.
Our fish topic is just about finished.  Tibs will go home this week.  Thank you to the Orchiston family for sharing him with us.  We made fish with weaving just before Miss Penwarden left us.  We have finished our fish books and they will go into our Time to Shine books.
Yesterday we had a lock down practice. We all went into Mrs Phillips' Office and she read us a book.  When Mr Galloway came to tell us it was safe he couldn't find us.  He thought we were in the library corner.
This Friday it is Ice Skating night.  There will be a disco ball, lights, food for tea, dressed up characters and prizes for the colouring contest.  We are looking forward to it!
Our Learning Detectives came yesterday to tell us about the Read-a-thon.  There will be packs going home soon.  We need to get sponsors in the holidays.  We read next term and give the money to the school to buy books for the new library.
The lovely Rosa is finally back from her holiday.  We are very pleased to see her and she has grown heaps taller.  We are all very jealous of the fun things she has done and places she has been.

Kate Rice Visits Us to Talk About Our Fish Topic.

Kate asks us what would happen if there were no phytoplankton or seaweed left in the sea.

Making a food web was very tricky because so many things ate the same food.
