May we play with clay today?

Chloe-Mae's clay fish

Bella's clay fish

First we had a Play Clay Day where we played and experimented with clay.  The next day we made a fish out of clay.  Now they must be left to dry out for three weeks before they are ready to be fired in the kiln.  The next stage will be to paint them in creative colours like the fish in the Go Fish Go book that motivated us in the first place.

Cheeky Chicks chase children (no, not really!)

Lavendar, Rocket and Marjoram came to visit  us in Room 3.

Jacob showed us the correct way to pick and hold Lavendar.

Chicks felt warm and safe tucked underneath Josiah's arm!

Oh! Oh!  Chicks off the newspaper - could this cause a problem?

Weka Day Camp - tramping through Totora Park

The rangers helped us the read the map correctly.

A blind-puppy-in-training is finishing his training in the Botanical Gardens.

We followed out maps to work out the way to go through the bush.

Conner could hear the knock, knock of the Nikau tree.

The fastest way down was to . . . RUN!

We had to work as a team to erect a tent.

Weka Day Camp - cooking sausages over an open fire

You can see how the cooking circle got its name!

Adan and Ben did a magnificent job

Teagan, Celia and Cheyanne waited patiently for their sausage to brown.

Tastes especially good when you have cooked it yourself!

Weka Day Camp - orienteering

Studying the map before heading out to find the first flag.

Lots of flags found and squares stamped!

Daniel's Grandad is going to bring a compass next time to make it easier to read the maps.

Mrs Liesenfeld's last day

On her last day, Mrs Liesenfeld thanked everyone for helping her to become the best teacher she could be during her time in Room 3.  She promised to visit the class again in Term 4.

Humpty Dumpty play in Room 3

The puppeteers.

Kaleb handed out bags of popcorn before the show.

Chloe-Mae was the narrator.

Our trip to Kelly Tarltons

Can this really be happening?

We were allowed to pick up the starfish in the rock pools.

Ethan researching sharks on the interactive screens.

The jellyfish gently floated towards the surface of the water.

Some of the penguins came to say hello!

Stingray Bay gave us an awesome view of the fish and stingrays underwater.

We could imagine what it would feel like  swimming underwater in the shark tunnel.

We measured up well against the sharks.

 

Wrist wrappers rock!

We sprayed the wrist wrappers gold and glued on tiny jewels.

We followed the instructions in School Journal 25 to make wrist wrappers.
