Pickles Day 3

Today Pickles was riding Terry the Triceratops! He looks like he has been having lots of fun over the weekend! 

We wonder where he will be tomorrow.....

Pickles Day 2

This morning Pickles was zip lining on the washing line! He must have gotten into Miss Joyce's stationery drawer and taken some clips!

A mysterious package from the North Pole......

We had a mysterious (and very cold) package arrive from Santa's Village yesterday

We opened the present, and this is what was inside!

We named the elf "Pickles"! Each night, he flies to the North Pole to tell Santa how we have been behaving. During the day, he stays absolutely still and listens and watches EVERYTHING! When we arrived at school this morning, he had been up to mischief!

Senior buddies came to visit Room 13

First, we showed our buddies what we do during Daily 5. We showed them Word Work using chalk, work on writing, literacy games, and buddy reading.

After that, we did exciting Maths! We blindfolded our buddies and led them around the school by giving directions like quarter turn, left, right, backwards, forwards and stop. 

We had a spectacular time together! 

Drama

Each reading group has been rehearsing a play during Daily 5 time. Here are some pictures of the Kokakos, Fantails and the Pukekos amd their performances...

Miss Lewis also came in to take a group of experts to learn how to use Google Drawing. Our experts will then teach others in the class how to use it. It's free and easy to download at home if you have Google Chrome.
