Our trip to the National Library

Taniela and his Uncle Toni

Whaea Kirsty and Enele

A.R.J. and his big brother

Laura and Rangihana

Cordeius and his Mum

We went on a fantastic trip to the National Library. We went with our friends in Room 2.
We were lucky because Whaea Bev, Whaea Liz and Whaea Kirsty came with us. 
We also had a lot of  people who are special to the people in Room 3, who came with us too.
Thank you to everyone who helped make it such a cool trip. We can't wait for our next trip and hope you can come too.

Vincent and his Dad

Healthy hearts

This is Bron.
Bron is our special public health nurse. 
She came to our class to show us how to wash our hands properly to help get rid of any germs.

Bron also told us why she checks our throats if we have a sore throat
because some of the germs that give you a sore throat can also hurt our hearts.

  

Ice, ice , ice

We are learning about water and how you can turn it into ice or steam and back again.

Whaea Angela got some ice cube bags and we put water in the bags.

Then we put the bags in the freezer.

We left the bags in the freezer.

When we got the bags out there was ice! We held it - it was cold. We put it outside in the sun. 

It disappeared. Juelz said it evaporated .

Some of us tried to stamp on the ice and break it. It was very strong and hard to break.

We also ate the ice! It was lovely on a hot day.

Ole Soccer

We had Ole Soccer on Friday with Room 2.

 

We were put into teams to play soccer. Some teams wore orange vests.

 

Some teams wore yellow vests.

 

 

 

We had fun playing soccer.

 

 

Thank you Ole Soccer and Room 2.

Oceana's caterpillar

Oceana is new to Russell School. She has a big brother in Room 1.

This is a photo of her and the caterpillar she drew on the whiteboard.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

We watched Eric Carle read his wonderful book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and then we painted our very own caterpillar.

Whaea Liz drew the big caterpillar and helped us paint it.

We think it looks great!

Greetings

We look forward to an exciting year and sharing what we are doing and learning.
