GET Ready, GET Through!

Our challenge this week was to use some newspaper and rubber bands and we had to make a raft to rescue a lego dog from an island.

Our raft had to fit in the sink and it had to float.

Here are the rafts that we made in pairs.

Welcome to Saint Paul's School!

This week we walked down to the church for a Powhiri to welcome the new students to our school.  We have one of those new students in our class.  Her name is Jordyn-Leigh.  Here is some things we found out about her:


Her favorite color is: PINK
Her favorite food is: Ice-cream
She doesn't have any brothers or sisters.
She has lots of pets because she lives on a farm.

WELCOME TO OUR CLASS AND SCHOOL JORDYN-LEIGH!

Worker bees are clever
When they need a home
They just build a... 

HONEYCOMB!

Katie's reading group read a book about bees and how they make honey called 'The Honey Makers'.  Then her Nana's friend sent a real honeycomb to school for us to look at, smell and taste! It was SWEET and DELICIOUS!

The Sharks Reading Group

This week the sharks read about rockets going to the moon.  They decided to make their very own rocket out of things they brought from home.

 Harrison and Oliver made one together

 Here is Mitchell and Isaac's ROCKETS!

Autumn Leaves
We drew around our hand and part of our arm to make the tree trunk.  Then we used paint and made fingerprints as the leaves.
Last we drew around the leaves to make them stand out. 

Leaves

How silently they tumble down

And come to rest upon the ground

To lay a carpet, rich and rare,

Beneath the trees without a care,

Content to sleep, their work well done,

Colors gleaming in the sun.

At other times, they wildly fly

Until they nearly reach the sky.

Twisting, turning through the air

Till all the trees stand stark and bare.

Exhausted, drop to earth below

To wait, like children, for the snow.
