Arma helped us to make stained glass window biscuits. Some of us ate them at school and some of us took them home to share with our family. They were yummy. Thank you Arna!

Our topic this term is water. We have written water poems, done some water art and when we visit the library we do some experiments. 

Today was Fun Friday!! Firstly we were visited by Freddie the lamb. He belongs to Ariella. He was wearing some pull-ups but he still managed to wet our carpet. During Discovery lots of us did outside activities. We hope you enjoy looking at the photos.

This week we have been looking at being Firewise. Today two fire fighters came and talked to us about being safe and what to do if we are in a fire. 

We made the most of the sunshine this morning and did lots of activities outside during Discovery. We had lots of fun.

Grandparents Day.

ASB GetWise Programme - learning about money

Today Vanepale from the ASB came to teach us about money. Vane was very cool! Secretly he is Captain Cashtastic and he gave us superhero lessons.

We had to order money from smallest to biggest.

We had to practise our superhero poses!

We learnt that:

NEEDS are the things that we need to survive - food, water, shelter.

WANTS are things that are fun to have, but we don't need them to survive - iPads, bikes,toys.

Captain Cash taught us a saying:

Speed to your needs. Wait for your wants.

Needs are the most important, so spend money on these first.

We all passed our training and got a superhero wristband.

Stonestead is the oldest house in Upper Hutt. It was built in 1860. This afternoon we visited Stonestead and Mr Bold talked to us and let us look around the house. We asked him some questions.

Our special reader this week is Alex. Today he read a special story from another country. It was called Brer Rabbit and theTar Baby.

Cricket

Today Matt and Mitch from Wellington Cricket came to teach us some cricket skills. The Year 2's from Kiwi joined us. It was fantastic fun!

We covered lots of skills including fielding, throwing, carrying a bat and catching.
