Strike Percussian

This morning the Clark family, including our Lauren performed in KBS Factor. She sang 'Love is Easy'. We thought she was awesome and amazing. Then Mrs Henderson and some teachers did the gumboot dance. It was funny.

This afternoon the group 'Strike Percussian' performed for us.
We thought it was amazing, awesome, 'rocking', fantastic, exciting, loud and wicked.
They had big drums hanging from huge pipes.
They did a fire show.
Mrs Lott and Mrs Ward had a competition to see who was the fastest drummer. Mrs Lott won.
We had a great afternoon.

Tuesday Newsday

"Today Mrs Henderson went to another school for a wee visit. She went to have a look at their cool reading programme" said Loucias

'Mrs Lott came in to teach us and play a game while Mrs Henderson was gone" said Kah'nal
"Today is also Mrs Henderson's Birthday" reminded Jacob
Mica made a birthday card for Mrs H on a device with her photo on it. She is so lucky.

Madison reminded us that Casey shared with us about the colour of the airplane tails changing to black.

Lauren thinks that the year 3/4 production called "Little Red Rocking Hood' was really interesting'
Dylan's best part of the show was when the cops took the wolf away.
Izzy's best part was when the wolf's pants came down.

Springy September

We are reading the BFG by Roald Dahl. In the story the giant said to Sophie "Giants eat human beans and they taste like the place they come from. People from Wales taste like Whales." He said that human beans were different flavors.
We decided to make ourselves into human beans. We thought about what flavor we would be.
* We have raven flavored from Raven Quay
* Moa flavored from Samoa
* Kiwi flavored from New Zealand
* Field flavored from Whitefield Street
* Man-in-a-field from Mansfield Park
* Key flavored from Sidey Quay
*Sneez'd flavored from Sneyd Street
* Bell flavored from Belfast
* Church from Christchurch
* Kiwifruit flavored from New Zealand
* Poi flavored from KaiaPOI
*Macintosh lolly flavored from guess where?

Come in and see our Human Beans!

Craze Day!

Today was Craze Day.

Madison told us all about using the elastics. She said that Daisharn and Kusania joined in too.

One of the elastics rhymes is:

England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales
Inside, outside, puppy dog's tails.

We also had a Learning Celebration with Studio's 2,5,6,7 and 8. We shared about our paper patchwork quilts that are all about Kiwiana (said Axell).

Dylan reminded us that the map of New Zealand is on it.
