How knew you could use salt in art??? We are giving it a go in Room 5 this week! Beware… as you walk into our room you may end up with salty feet…

We may not be at school today but I’m still wondering about bats!

I found this clip on you tube about the lesser short tailed bat we have been reading about in class. Can you see it scuttling along the ground like a mouse?!?

Mrs R

Curious as to what we will be learning about next week???

We had lots of kids participate in Tough Guy and Gal last term and Tahlia went one step further and helped raise money for Cure Kids! Well done Tahlia!

We love measuring ourselves to see how much we are growing… especially as we are getting closer and closer to being the same height as Mrs Rufford! Thanks to Old School Ruler Height Charts who sent us one of their brand new products to have in our classroom. We love it!!

We had a great lunch time in the sandpit enjoying the volcano science experiment Tanner had brought along to share with us. Kids big and small had a blast building the volcano and then destroying it!

Who knows what next week’s experiment might be…

Check out the radishes we planted at Matariki!

We had a great time harvesting some of our veges and giving the garden a really good weed. The red cabbages are coming along nicely, as are the leeks and sliver beets. Not sure about the lettuces though…. Looks like we have had some very hungry snails come to visit!

We are in full swing now as we prepare for the big show!
