Folk Dancing Extravaganza!

On Tuesday we held a special day for all our parents, grandparents and friends. We were celebrating and sharing all the learning we have been doing this term.
We finished the afternoon with a folk dancing display.

The Jiffy Mixer! This was really tricky for us to learn but we never gave up and we shone like bright stars in the sky!

Ziggy Comes to School!

On Tuesday morning we had a special visitor to Renwick 3. The children wrote some stories about Ziggy.

Ziggy came to school today. She had a big tummy and was so cute! She licked my hand.

P.J. Day!

On Wednesday we came to school in our P.J.'s. This was because 'p' is the letter of the week. Everyone else in the school thought we were a bit crazy! Our 'p' week has kept us very busy. We have been making popcorn, printing, playing, reading poetry, playing with play dough and puzzles, drawing picture plans, painting, print making, creating pirate ships, and publishing our stories. So it is no wonder we came to school in our P.J.'s ...we are exhausted!

As always we look gorgeous!

Book Character Day

On Thursday the Kowhai Syndicate had a book character dress up day. This was because 'b' was the letter of the week. There were Princess's, Pirates, Spidermen, Little Red Riding Hoods, Dalmatians, Tigger, Bob the Builder, Batman, Fairies, Gruffalo's and Cat in a Hat! Neroli was Bad Jelly the Witch. However she wasn't that bad because she managed to turn our play dough into lollipops with one of her magic spells!
We had a terrific day with lots of fun and laughter.

We looked fabulous!

Neroli helped us to make one of her magic potions...otherwise known as raspberry jelly! This made for a great afternoon treat along with the goodies from Melany and Alice's Little Red Riding Hood baskets.

Kindy Visit

On Wednesday Room 12 and Renwick 3 walked down to visit our old friends at Brook Street Kindergarten. We had such a wonderful morning. We would like to go back again sometime soon!

We discovered lots of new toys too!

Just my size!

We did lots of painting and drawing.

Maitai Dam Trip

This week we went on a class trip to the Maitai Dam to help us learn where water comes from. Our 'tour guide' was called Trevor. He showed us around and gave us lots of interesting information.

We used our best listening skills and then we were aloud to ask Trevor questions. I was pleased that William asked "What is a dam?"

Trevor took us into the large tunnel that runs underneath the dam. The pipes were humongous!

This is the reservoir of water. As you can see we had a perfect day to visit the dam.
