Willow's Birthday

Willow's Birthday


Last Thursday was Willow's birthday. Willow is Lisa's baby. She's cute. We sang a birthday song and we had popcorn. She got a present from Ivy.

Yesterday, Lisa came to teach us but the other thing was... it was Willow's birthday! Willow is Lisa's daughter. She got a present with a shark holding a fork but when she opened the present, she gave it to Lisa and played with the wrapper.

Yesterday, it was Baby Willow's birthday. Ivy took a photo of her opening the present. Kaelyn gave Willow a gift too, it was a balloon. She was happy, she played with it. We played with it, too. Then we made popcorn, it was yummy. We sang a song to her, she sang with us.

Yesterday, it was Willow's birthday. Willow is Lisa's daughter. We made some popcorn, it was fun but they could only stay for half day. It was still fun. We gave her a present but she liked the wrapper more.

Yesterday was Willow's birthday. We sang a song for her birthday. The part that I liked was the song and I liked eating the popcorn, too.

Learning About Road Safety

Yesterday afternoon, we went to the hall to see Ruben the road safety bear. He was really funny and he rides his bikes really slow. It is funny for us.

Yesterday, we went to the hall. We saw Ruben, he is a bear. I like him. The man was called Gary. He had a picture of Ruben on his t-shirt. I felt really happy.

Yesterday afternoon, Room 16 went to see Ruben the bear. She was wearing bright colours so people can see her when she is riding her bike.

Matariki Feast

Room 16 co-wrote a recipe for Ice Box Cake and we tried to make it last Friday to celebrate Matariki.  A day before, we talked about the ingredients. Then we had to work with a group to sequence the steps in making the cake.



Everybody took part in making the cake, from chopping the fruits to mixing the cream and lining up the cookies.  There was real teamwork!






We had to freeze our cake in the fridge and wait for two hours.
Then we all had a slice to test if our recipe was good. We even shared it with room 15. Here's what the class had to say after tasting the finished product.

Our Museum Trip

Museum Trip

Last Tuesday, room 16 went to the Waikato Museum. Elaine, the museum lady, told us that they actually have a dog that dribbles water. It is the ‘Tongue of the Dog’. She also showed us the waka and we did some art.

Last Tuesday, we went to the museum. We went into a room and made a necklace from clay. Then we had morning tea.

Room 16 went to the museum last Tuesday. I made a koru shaped necklace. I cannot wear it yet because it is still wet. I was happy.

Last Tuesday, my class went to the museum. We saw a waka and heard a story. We had so much fun. Then we went back to our school.

Last Tuesday morning, we went to the museum. I got tired and nearly got lost. “Aah! Where's my buddy?” but I was able to find her. We helped each other.
