Sports Fun Day

Last Wednesday we had a sports fun day!  We got to play lots of cool games with the coaches from Counties Manukau. At the end of the sports we were exhausted and thirsty. Thank goodness for our afternoon milk and the bananas Mrs Patel gave us. Thank you Mrs Patel! 

The Botanic Gardens

On Thursday, 27 March we went to the Botanic Gardens to learn about New Zealand native birds. We had a lot of fun! We learned lots about the native birds in the classroom and then we walked around the gardens. It was a great day!

Our aftenoon refreshments.

This week started having milk at school. We drink our milk after lunch and then we have more energy for our school work. The trick is not to squirt our milk everywhere! 

Welcome to room 12 2014

We have 29 lovely children in room 12 this year. We have 13 girls and 16 boys. We have made a great start to our learning this year.  We are already working hard in our class.

Our day of shopping!

This term we have been learning about the market.  We thought it would be a good idea to visit a few markets. First we went to a strawberry market and we had an ice cream for morning team. That was a treat! After that we headed off to Sandringham to visit Wesley community market. We had a fabulous time looking for bargains. Then we went to Hunter's Plaza to buy secret Santa presents for our classmates. We can't wait to give them to our buddies.  When we arrived back at school, Ms Thompson made fruit salad with the fruit we bought at the market. What a great day we had!

 The ice creams were delicious, even Ms Thompson couldn't resist having one.

Here we are arriving at the market. We had to complete a survey while we were there so we are just checking the questions.

 Off we go!

 So much to see!  Hmmm, now what should we buy?

Jacob wanted to buy this toy but he didn't have enough money. He haggled with the stall holder and got a bargain! Good on you Jacob!

 And he got change!

 More shopping, hmm..now what else do I need?

 Our last stop, Hunters Plaza.  Hey, I saw some of this stuff at the market!

 We've got our presents and now it's back to school. What a fabulous day shopping!

 Fruit salad, mmmmm!

This term we celebrated Diwali. We came to school dressed in our lovely clothes to celebrate our special day.

Don't we look lovely!
