Feeling poems...

When I am bored...
When I am bored I feel like a peanut butter sandwich
When I am bored I feel like a ball eating me.
When I am bored I feel like going to see Harold.
When I am bored I feel like going to school.
When I am bored I feel like a freddo frog.
When I am bored I feel like a red nose reindeer…
By Chelsea

I Feel Surprised
I feel surprised when something I don't expect happens. When I feel surprised my mouth is as wide as a hippo’s mouth. When I feel surprised I say Wow. When I feel surprised I say you mean it no you mean it.
By Sam

When I am thoughtful I feel like I am on top of the world.
I feel smart and ready to go like I am going to explode with ideas
Like a millionaire that has won money.
Like I have won a trophy.
I feel like I know everything.
By Billy

When I’m confident I feel like I’m number 1.
When I’m confident I feel like a beaming sun.
When I’m confident I feel like I’m on top of the world.
When I’m confident I feel like I’m going to write so much that my pencil is going to go on fire.
When I’m confident I feel like I can do anything

Welcome to Ciara



Hi, my name is Ciara. I just moved to New Zealand on the 10th of June. I did live in Ireland but then I came here. I have lots of friends over in Ireland. But I'm sure I will make lots of different friends and on my first day I have already made lots of friends. I love my teacher. It is great that I have family that live around the corner. In my old school I did not have any boys, I just had girls. My old school was a lot harder. My cousin is in this school too. The class is very bright with all the colours in it.

Finishing off for Friday...





We finished off Friday with a visit to Room 1 to share our homework then we went out to spread out the huge leaf pile. It was a lot of fun.

Matariki mural...



Matariki

As part of our Funky Friday learning we read stories about Matariki. We decided to make a Matariki mural. It is huge!!!!! It is hanging up in the hallway and it might go in the foyer when it is finished. We had to draw around Ryan to get the shape of the chief for our mural. We have got a lot of work to do on it yet. We created some gorgeous Matariki scratchings! Check back soon to see some of them.

Marvellous, magical "M" day...

Today was "M" day for our alphabet homework presentation. We had two very special visitors. Jacob arranged for Molly to visit at 9 o'clock and Thomas had Maggie visit at 10 o'clock. I think it was a good thing they visited at seperate times - don't you?
