Pass the Parcel

Our present inquiry topic is "Celebrations" We are currently focussing on Birthdays and today with our buddy class we made Pass the Parcel, a favourite party game. When we returned to the class we played the game. It was fun!

Symmetrical Butterflies

by Emily

Mrs Dijkstra was inspired by Room 13's shape pictures. So Room 24 used shapes to create a symmetrical design on our butterflies. We think they look beautiful!

Making and Melting Ice

We made ice by pouring water from our drink bottle into a seal it bag. Mrs Dijkstra froze it in the kitchen chest freezer. We then observed what changes had taken place and the effect salt and water had on the ice. We held it in our hands. It made us shiver!

The Library Learning Hub

Each Thursday room 19 and 24 combine for Library. It is an exciting space with wonderful furniture and a range of engaging activities. Some recent additions are the Lego wall, Puppet Show and Drawing table. The Learning Hub is fun!

Our Marvellous Marble Runs

Mrs Dijkstra thinks they all look so amazing and would like to thank our families for helping us with this challenge.

Athena's "The Little Yellow Chicken" puppets

Mrs Dijkstra read us Joy Cowley's "The Little Yellow Chicken" and we made stick puppets and retold the story.

We also asked questions if we were the Interviewer or answered

questions if we were the character. 

Mrs Dijkstra also read books by Gavin Bishop and Margaret Mahy - two more wonderful

 New Zealand authors.
