Yummy, Milk in Schools.

On Monday we will be starting the Fonterra Milk in Schools programme. We are all looking forward to having a delicious drink of milk at school. Thanks Fonterra. Check out this clip to learn more about it.

Special Visitors

On Friday we had some special visitors. Jessica's pet rabbit and guinea pig came to school. There names were called Chocolate Brownie and Fudge. They were very small and very cute. We got to pat them gently and they were very soft and fluffy.

"I like the guinea pig best because it was small and soft, " said Alex.
"I like the bunny rabbit the best because it was very soft," said Rebecca.
"I like when Chocolate Brownie went to explore our classroom," said Kompton.

Book Swap

On Friday we had a book swap. We could bring a book from home that we had already read and swap it for a different book. There were lots of great books to choose from. We were really happy with our choices.

Book Week

For the next two weeks we are celebrating book week. We have talked about things we like to read and what parts of books are called. Q Bear loves to listen to stories and he loves to read. Today Alex and Rocca found him reading his favourite books and they took his photo.

Come on Guys get Fire Wise

Today we had a special visit from David the fireman. He talked to us about being fire wise. We thought it was interesting that when we are asleep our nose is asleep too, but not our ears. That's why smoke alarms are so important because when we are asleep we can  not smell smoke. We liked practising how to get down, get low and get out FAST! Thank you fireman David.

Enviro Day

On Friday it is Enviro Action Day. We are looking forward to getting involved in our Environment.Check out this clip and the link to the Rainbow School Enviro blog.

Birds

This term we are talking about New Zealand birds. We made models of the Kiwi with the play dough.

We also learnt a poem about the Little Bird. We made these cool birds to go with our poems. We used fabrics and lots of colours to make them look fantastic.

V is for volcano

We are learning about the letter v. Today we made a volcano in the sandpit. We used baking soda and vinegar to make the volcano fizz just like an eruption. We are trying to find out if there are volcanoes in New Zealand?
