WOW - Term 2

It was fantastic to see all the children back at school today and eager to learn.

The egg has caused lots of conversation, fascination and has been observed closely all day!  The children have told me that the egg has been moving and will hatch soon!  I wonder what their predictions will be.  Keep an eye out on the blog for their predictions.

The children have made a dinosaur print.  The children used play dough and stamped their dinosaur in the play dough and then filled it with plaster of paris.  We are patiently waiting for them to set.

Published Authors!

Team Rua today illustrated and published their stories about the trip to Pernel Orchard.  Next time you are in Team Rua come and read our book!

Here is a snippet from the book .......

Pernel Trip

Last week Team Rua was part of the Junior Team that visited Pernel Orchard.  We began our day with making apple crumble.  While the crumble was cooking we went on the bus to Pernel Orchard.  We saw lots of different fruit trees and fruit, to pick a sweet, juicy apple from the tree and to pet the animals.  The trip around the orchard showed  us the fruit being picked, binned and taken to the pack house to be sorted and packed and stored in the chiller.  We even meet some people from Germany and France!

After lunch we enjoyed our apple crumble with ice cream!  We had such a super day!

Nga mihi nui to all the parents and grandparents that came along and helped.

What's in the box

When the children arrived this morning at school they were told a present had arrived for them.  At writing time the children had to predict what they thought was in the box.

Here are some of the stories the children wrote -

It was really exciting to open the box to see if our predictions were right.

I wonder what the children will write tomorrow.....

Congratulations Keli'i
