Cricket and Water Saftey

Today on the 10.2.12, Room 5 and 6 went in the the cool school pool. We did something exiting, we did experiments. We used milk bottles, buckets, balls, cones etc to see if they could help us to float. It was cold but most of us stayed in. I think the whole school is doing it. So I hope they like it too. Matt

Also, today R 5 and 6 went to play cricket with Mark on the back field. We practiced our bowling and batting and then we played a game of cricket. I loved it and I hope you do to. Nicole

End of Year Activities

Clay Animals
Room 5 had some clay left from Mix and Make Day, so we made clay animals. First we had to make them very carefully, Flynn and some other people made dragons. Then we had to paint them white. Once they were dry we painted them the colour we wanted them.

Christmas activites
We had lots to choose from on the 13 of December and we had three wordfind to do. They were simple. We made masks, there was a Santa and Ruldoph. My mask doesn't fit.

lollies
We had to make boxes and do a back ground, then tape the sides. Then Mrs Roberts put 6 lollies in. We were really lucky because they were yummy.

Movies
First we watched a robot movie, it was funny and was in Room 8. Then we watched Marmaduke.

Dancing
Some children learned ballroom dancing this term.

More FM Pack The Bus

Today the More FM bus came to Brightwater School for Pack The Bus. Pack the bus is a purpose to give kids and adults gifts that they don't get for Christmas. We had to bring food or toys. Kath Bee was there and she sung us two songs, 'Dad I want to be a camel and Individually.' We were put live on radio. We sung, 'Christmas on the Beach' to them and then they left in the bus.

Crocodilians

Crocodilians are protected by people in crocodile farms to save them from danger.
Flynn

Gharials have very long narrow snouts.
Phoebe

The smooth shape of a fish makes it easy for alligators to eat them.
Jorja

Lots of people are dropping litter in the Crocodilian's habitat which is polluting it.
Piper

Crocodilians are found mainly in the warmer parts of the world where the temperature stays the same all the time.

Ella's Aunties coming to school

It was exciting for everyone including me and them. Their names are Audre, Nola and Mare. Auntie Audre is from Canada, Auntie Nola is from where the oil spill happened and Auntie Mare is from up in the top of the North Island. Auntie Audre left that Friday after she came. They went to Aimee's and Cade's, as well as Ella's class.
Everyone was amazed how big our family is. Nola does not like Dogs but she would like a horse. Audre is great at cooking and makes it yummy. Nola loves shopping and is good at it. Mare loves playing games with us and she lets us choose. They came with Anna my Grandma. At the end every one asked an age question. After they went to all the classes they went shopping and out for lunch.

The Amazing Cute Rabbits

Ellie-rose and Piper brought a rabbit each to school on Friday. We had the rabbits for the day. The mother rabbit scared Jumpy who zoomed around the class room and I had to catch Piper's rabbit and put it in its cage. Clover went under Mrs Roberts desk.
We fed them lettuce, silver beet, strawberries from Tessa and cucumber from Ellie T. It was funny when Jumpy peed on Sophie.
It was lovely to have Jumpy and Clover at school for the day.
