Swimming

B6 have made fantastic progress in swimming this term.  Mrs Caudwell had some help from Erin (Swim-Safe NZ), and that helped her to help us!  Now we are all floating, gliding, and skulling, so that we will be safe if ever we fall into water.  That means we can stay afloat untill someone can rescue us.  Did you know that if you hum a little song, the water doesn't go up your nose?
We all want to shout-out a big 'THANK_YOU' to Matua Erik, who keeps our school pool warm and clean for us.
Check out our 'Oodles of Noodles' photopeach - you can see us having free-play on Friday, our last day of swimming for the term.

Good luck to Piripi.

Friday was Piripi's last day at Glenholme School.  He is going to live in Australia with his Nanny Ruth, and Koro.  Nanny Ruth bought us a delicious chocolate cake and some hot sausage rolls, so we all had a special morning tea to say goodbye to him.  We hope he makes kind friends at his new school, and makes excellent progress in his learning.  He will be able to show his new class how to do kapa haka, as they don't have that in Australia.

On Friday, we had a fantasic visit from Dan The Puppet Man.  He had Ruru, the road-safety owl.
We helped Porangi the pukeko to learn all about how to cross the road safely.  You have to Stop, look both ways, and walk across the road.  You must never run on the road.
We saw heaps of funny puppets.  One was a boy who broke his arm because he went on the road to get his ball.  One was a boy who did not wear his bike helmet, and he got hit by a car.
To be safe when we are in a car, we must be in a booster seat, and wear a seat-belt.  We have to 'make it click'
Dan was a ventriloquist.  That means he can do the puppet voices without moving his lips.  No-one in B6 can do that!
Take a look at our photopeach, and you can see Dan, the different puppets, and some of us too.

Lakeside Concert 2012

I live by town and I saw the fireworks, they were colourful.  Me and my dad and Jackson watched it together.

Aaliyah

I went to the concert at the lake.  I went with my mum and dad and Tayla.  I fell asleep so we went home.  We didn’t see the fireworks.

Kyra.

I went to the concert and I had fun at the concert.  I had popcorn, and I could see the man was singing.  Then the fireworks came on, and then it finished.

Santanna

On Saturday night me and my mum and my dad watched the band.  The band was long.  I was asleep, then the fireworks came on.  I liked the fireworks.  The fireworks were colourful.

Lio

A Special Visitor

This afternoon, Mrs Bishop bought her baby to school.

At lunchtime, she was in the staffroom to show the teachers.

After lunch, she bought him to B6 to show us.   His name is Mathew, but they call him Matty.  He was cute.    We had to be very quiet, because Matty was asleep.

After that, Mrs Bishop was going to visit C7.

We were happy that they came to see us.

Bubbles Autocollage

We used  Autocollage to put lots of pictures together.  It helps us remember what we did.

B6 Breakfast Party

Lio and his mum entered us in a competition at New World, and we won a fantastic breakfast for our class.

Lots of whanau came to join us.  We learnt that having a healthy breakfast helps you learn, makes you fast, and makes you a more cheerful person.

Bubbling Over!

B6 blew beautiful bubbles.  We had lots of fun reading about bubbles, writing about bubbles, and making bubbles.  Keira's photo was even in the Daily Post!  We were very proud of her.
