Lunch time

Lunch in the park! What fun!

Look at our rock.

We found so many creatures on just one rock. There is a starfish, a snail and even a crab on this rock.

On the Rocky Shore

We are now all down at the Rocky Shore. I wonder what we will find.

The Talk

The lady is here from the aquarium and is telling us all about the things we might see at the Rocky Shore

Morning Tea

We arrived safely and are having our morning tea

On the way

We are off the the Rocky Shore in Napier. Rooms 9 and 11 are on the front bus and Rooms 16, 17 and 18 are on the bus behind. We are all very excited!

Counting in 2s

We have been learning to count in 2s. We have found out that you can count in 2s from any number and that you can count forwards and backwards in 2s.

Take a look at the photos of us using different classroom materials to show counting in 2s.

Week 8 News

Well the days are zooming past again so quickly – Easter is almost upon us.

We have been busy in class making our bowls our of recycled materials and then painting them bright colours. We are hoping that the Easter Bird might lay some Easter Eggs in our bowls before we go home on Thursday J

Easter – School will be closed this Friday (29^th March) and also Monday and Tuesday next week. We will be reopen on Wednesday 3^rd April.

Chocolate – Its wonderful to see all the chocolate being sold and the money coming in. Many children have been asking for more chocolate to sell (I do hope you aren’t being forced to eat too many bars!) Don’t forget that if you are unable to sell any more chocolate you can bring back the remains plus any money collected and take it to the office. Thank you for your support with this fundraiser.

Thank you for your offers of help with reading in the mornings. It is working out at about 15 minutes starting at 9 o’clock. If you have a morning when you would like to stay and help out please just drop in. And if you are a regular – please keep it up – you are invaluable J

If you should find yourself clearing out your summer wardrobes during the Easter weekend, the Junior Discovery Dress up Box is in need of a little bit of an over haul. We would like handbags, shoes and clothes… anything that you think children would enjoy dressing up in. All items would be very much appreciated. It is one of the most popular activities at Discovery Time and the face paints certainly add a new dimension to the games and conversations the children have. We are also interested in a full-length mirror so the children can enjoy seeing themselves all dressed up. If you have one that is surplus to requirements we have the perfect home for it.

Kelly Sport

At the beginning of term Kelly Sport came in to school and gave us a lesson. We learn lots of sports skills using rugby balls and footballs, nets and tennis balls. Have a look at this presentation of the photos taken of us taking part in Kelly Sport. Can you spot anyone you know?
