Giraffes

 Giraffes

The book we read

This book is about a giraffe going to the zoo because he works at the zoo. A lot of different animals were going to the zoo but they were late because they didn't have a bike. The giraffe was on time to work because he rode his bike. 

Some of the beautiful giraffe art the kids do.

POPCORN

Today it was popcorn day. We made a lot of mess with the popcorn because it was getting too hot and popping the popcorn everywhere. We made 3 flavours, one normal, cinnamon and plain butter.  6 people liked the cinnamon sugar flavour, 3 people liked the butter and nobody liked the normal one. 

We also played the popcorn game outside. You put the pretend oil in the pot then we put balls in the pan which is a parachute and then we go up and down, left and right and pop goes the popcorn. We also did poetry about popcorn. We coloured in the popcorn and we were looking for the sound 'POP' there were 8 pops and one hidden one which made it 9. 

The magnificent blue bubble had an amazing day because of all the popping good times.

Popcorn Song

You put the oil in the pot

and you let it get hot

You put the popcorn in

and start to grin.

Sizzle, sizzle

sizzle, sizzle

Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop!

Magnificent Blue Bubble Scooter Club

Magnificent Blue Bubble Scooter Club

Bubble learning means lots of time outside doing the things kids love. Hours of fun on these scooters, it's been very cool watching the kids grow in confidence, learn to do 'jumps', ride two scooters at the same time, go really fast or go down a hill. They have had so much fun and today was even more fun because they got to use knee pads, elbow pads and arm pads to make them look extra cool.

Book character parade

On Friday we had book day. We dressed up as our favourite book characters because it was book week. We started the day off by going around the classrooms and listening to stories. Some of the people who read to us were Mr Johnston, our principal, Whaea Mele, Carlo's mum and a teacher at the kindergarten, the Panmure librarians and Mr James. After that we went to the hall for a special book day / Samoan language week assembly. There was a big surprise and Spiderman showed up. Spiderman jumped up on the stage and he was asking questions and all of them were about him. Next, all of the classes went to have lunch with their buddy class. With our buddy class we read books and ate our lunch. The last thing we did was take photos of ourselves in the Thing 1 and Thing 2 board. The day was fantastic!

Library trip

  

We went on a trip to the library for book week. We walked to the library and we got library cards. We got to get some library books to take home. There are some rules about library books. If the book has a hard cover you have to read it on the table so you don't break the spine. You aren't allowed to keep the books but you can have them for 28 days. I got a book called Black is a colour it is about a rainbow where there was black and some people thought black isn't a colour but it is.
