Tough guy Monty!

When I was going through the water, it was freezing cold. I was running and my legs were so sore.When I was going under the rope my brothers feet were in my face.

Cup Cake Making

Today we were super lucky to have Kelly (Lauren's Mum) come in to teach us how to ice cup cakes!  There was so much excitement in the room that Mrs Morris' ears were hurting by the end, but we had so much fun and our cupcakes looked amazing!  We got to use fondant to make a butterfly or lego blocks and we even got to use piping!  We are very grateful for Kelly's generosity with her time and patience - thanks again Kelly!  Check out our awesome cupcakes!  

R.I.

Today RI started at Bulls School.  We were lucky enough to have Mrs Palmer in to teach us.  We sung songs and got to open different coloured eggs which had different items in them to teach us about Easter.

Our little celebrity!

I got this prize because I had the best story. We had to write a story about  what The Minstrel taught us. I won a fishing rod and the reel lights up when you spin it. I also won a Hiwi The Kiwi book it has all the songs from Hiwi The Kiwi it also came with a CD.

Athletics

Rocket Launching!

The Twits!

Room 4 Literacy have been reading The Twits and Mrs Morris has just loved hearing us giggle throughout the story.  We have learned that Mr and Mrs Twit like to play tricks on each other.  Mrs Twit even made Mr Twit eat worm spaghetti for dinner! So Mrs Morris bought in lots of different food items and we had to come up with a trick menu for Mr Twit.

Some of our ideas were:
-tiny eggs from dinosaurs (unpopped popcorn)
-maggots (rolled oats)
-eyeballs from a bull! (hard boiled eggs)
-the body of a frog (gherkin)

We worked hard to add descriptive words to make our menu as disgusting as possible!!!!

YMCA

We are super excited to have Zeb from the YMCA at Bulls School every Tuesday to run games and skills sessions with us.

WELCOME BACK!

Welcome back to Term 2!  There was a buzz of excitement today in the hub as the students welcomed their friends back to school.  It was awesome to hear of the many adventures that took place in the holidays.  Sienna had a trip down south and saw dolphins while she was on the ferry, Jayden went to Australia and William kayaked the Whanganui River!  Miss Bailey also went to Australia and Mrs Morris spent lots of time at the beach with her family.  Some of the words that were used to describe the holidays were:
Fun
Ecstatic
Sleeping
Adventurous
Exciting

We are super pumped about the term ahead - especially with Mahi Tahi. There will be rocket launching, cooking, photography and more! Keep an eye out on the blog for photos of our learning throughout the term.

Congratulations to Monty, Ciara, Tylah and Karley who all received Focal Point Movie tickets for being awarded the most Dojo points for Term 1 - you guys rock!
