Kite Day at school

After morning tea  some of the  fathers came to school. They helped us make kites. I did one with my Dad. I got to work in room2. My Dad came because it was Fathers Day. It was fun because it was kite day.
I had to make a kite before I flew my kite. Mrs Z let me take  photos of her huge kite. My favorite  photo was when the kite was stuck in the tree.

When it was time for lunch I got a photo of me and my Dad.

Duffy show

Today we had a visit from the Duffy Theatre.  It was in the hall at 11am.  They came to our school to show us why reading and writing are important.  The three people were David, Manu and Lusa.

The first thing we did was sing the Duffy song.  Then they taught us the rules and signals we needed for the show.  Next Lusa played a samoan action game with us.  Then the actual show started.  It was about a baddy who tried to steal Duffy's words. His friend Afi helped him to get them back.

After the show there was a presentation of the NZ Post awards to three people and the class presentation of books.

It was cool and exciting to have the Duffy show at school.  We hope they come again.

Fonterra Milk in Schools.

Today all the classes had milk.  We had to drink all the milk till it was dry. Next we pulled the milks ears out and then folded the bottom of the carton. We folded the sides of the box and give it a little flatten. Then put the top into the bottom.  We put the carton in the recycle bin.

Maths-Geometry

As part of our Maths program me we have been learning about nets.  

In maths nets are found inside boxes.  They are not like sports nets or fishing nets.  They are the outline of the box and the lines that are folded to make the box.  

We unpicked a lawn mower box. It was very huge.  We all had turns at drawing the lines.



We saw some interesting shapes.

We think box nets are fabulous.

firewise visit

We had a visit from Ian and Dan, two fire fighters with the Palmerston North Fire Service.  They came to room three as part of the Firewise programme.
Here is a picture of the children in front of the fire engine.
