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.

Notices went home today.

This morning, after Whanau Time, the whole school went out on the field and stoop in shapes to form the word AWESOME!
Mr George went up on the roof of the hall and took our photo. We all did a big thumbs up to the camera.

Izzy said "I like writing because it helps me learn more words everyday"
Dylan said "I like it when people play with  me"
Jade said "We have been learning our spelling words"
Mica said "Yesterday when Mrs Henderson came back to school, everybody was so excited about it"
Mrs Henderson said "I'm so excited to be back too. I missed everyone!"
Sam said " At school I am learning maths and I can help people when they are stuck"

Our spelling words for term 3 are:

pull
tell
call
fell
we'll

tree
meet
been
seem
need

Next Thursday is a disco! Look out for information in the notices:-)

Today we went exploring with magnets. In groups we searched the school for things that our magnets would and would not attract.

It was really interesting to discover what our magnets would stick to!

Our new class member Danny and his back up crew amazed us with their performance of Gangnam Style at Whanau Time today.

Danny is in Studio 1 for the next three weeks. He is from South Korea. We are really excited to have him in our class!
