Assembly and PE

Today we did assembly practice because our class assembly is coming up and we are doing it with our buddy classes, room 14 and room 1. Assembly is tomorrow at 2:00. Come and see all the fantastic things we have to share.

This afternoon we did some PE. We had some basket balls and some netballs. We learnt how to dribble the ball and how to pass and catch the ball. We had lots fun at PE.

Native New Zealand Birds Discovery Time

Today for Discovery Time we have been looking at birds from Mount Bruce. They came from Te Manawa. There were some birds eggs to look at. There was a kiwi egg, a chicken egg, an ostrich egg, owl egg and hummingbird eggs. The eggs were all different sizes. The ostrich egg was the biggest and the humming bird eggs were the smallest. They were tiny!!

There were some puppets, saddle back, kiwi and a pukeko. There were also some birds feet. The black shag's foot looked like a bat's wing. There was a foot with really long and sharp claws!

There were some puzzles where you have to figure out what the name was, what the beak does and what the feet does.

There were also some books that you could read. The books had information about the different birds.

We love native birds!

I have made a riddle. Watch it and see if you can work it out.

WOW! Mount Bruce!

Yesterday we went to Mount Bruce. We went on a bus there and back. It took ages to get there! We saw lots of native birds. When we first got there we went into our lunch room. We saw two kiwis and we watched a video of a kiwi hatching. There were some tuataras that we really old. One of the tuataras name was Sam. At the very end we saw the people feeding the big eels. There were some teachers and parents who helped us. Ashlee said thank you to the Mount Bruce people when we left. It was extraordinarily fun!!
