Bye Keeson

Today we said goodbye to Keeson.  He is moving to Kaiapoi which is too far to travel to come to our school.  Tyler said "Remember all the good times we had Keeson."  Lots of us said "Bye Keeson, we will miss you".  Miss Browne is going to miss how compassionate Keeson is and how respectful.  He always opened doors for other people and arrived at school with a big smile on his face everyday.  We wish you good luck at your new school Keeson.

 Hugs for our friend Keeson!

Our last births

Friday was such a busy day!  We had the last two chrysalis hatch with two boy butterflies.  We can tell that they are boy butterflies because they have black dots on their hind wings.  We stayed after the bell had rung so we could all have a hold of our butterflies.  All our other butterflies had hatched during weekends so we didn't get to have a chance to hold them.
They felt tickly!  We didn't know that they had bits on the end of their legs that were like claws.  They need these to hold on tight.
Some of us needed to be very brave but we all showed compassion when giving them to others and in helping some of the children who were a bit scared.  It has been exciting watching our caterpillars turn into butterflies and now we need to make sure we look after our plants so they are ready to go into our butterfly garden at the end of the year.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Keeson's writing

We think Keeson has drawn a great bird with his writing today.  He listened to the sounds and wrote down the ones he could hear. He is a successful writer in room 2. 

PMP

Today was our first day at PMP.  We were learning how to line up in teams, work together to do our learning on the equipment safely and to have fun with our parent helpers.  We learnt how to jump like kangaroos, do the 'toilet walk' and a 'heal toe' walk which was very tricky for some people.  There were five different activities that we enjoyed doing today.  We can't wait until Friday when we do PMP again!

Number learning

We are learning how to recognise and form the numbers to 10.  We made the numbers with playdough and then stuck the correct number of sticks into them to match.

Investigations - Sustainability

As we continue to learn about sustainability we have been focusing on what comes from trees and what we can do with it so we don't waste them.  We are learning to squeeze the juice from the lemons so we can make lemon juice.  We are also learning to preserve pears by peeling and chopping them.  We then boiled them up and packaged them so we can keep them to eat later in the year.  We are really enjoying our time with our friends in Room 3.

We could also make cress heads and are learning how to make paper in Room 3.  We are ripping up lots of used paper to make new paper instead of throwing it out.
