Today was World Play doh Day. More FM had a competition where we could win $5000. We made play doh with our buddies and then created what we would spend our money on if we won.
We also had lots of grandparents visit and help us for Grandparents Day. We didn't win, but we had lots of fun making and creating our play doh sculptures.

We have been learning how to do EEKK reading. We need to sit Elbow to Elbow - Knee to Knee while we read to each other. Mrs Mitchell was very impressed with our first try. Look at how we did! ANZAC DAY ARTYou can get a flower badge. Hazel We have been learning about the ANZACS. Before we started, we wrote down some things we thought we knew about ANZAC day. This is what we thought: The flower is called a poppy. Daniel The Poppies are in New World and they have the names of all the soldiers who died in the war for us. Steile A man and woman died in the war. Daniella If you already have a poppy you don’t need to buy one. Liam The poppy was the first flower to pop up after the war. Matias They were fighting over different countries. Mya-lee Soldiers fight with people who hold sticks. Stella In the Army some people died on ANZAC Day. Daniel Then we did some art with our buddies. Our pictures are of the poppies in Flanders Field. We were invited to the Year 7 & 8 ANZAC service. There were 24 crosses remembering the soldiers who died from the Wellington Region. There was also 1 special cross for the unknown solider. The children read out a poem called ' Flanders Field'. Then we listened to the Last Post while we remembered people who fought and died in the war. The music made us feel sad. Today our Room 11 buddies came to visit us. They helped us with our reading and a spelling activity. It was lots of fun. Room 2 was asked what was the best part of their first day back at school. Here is what they said.....

Phoenyx Dan from Room 18 came to visit us today. He has just been to Jamaica to compete in the Taekwondo World Cup. Dan showed us the gold medal that he won for patterns. We are super proud of you! For maths today we did lots of fun activities. With some cards we played 'go fish'. Instead of finding a matching pair we had to make pairs that added up to 10. Phoenix With the beads, we could make patterns using 2, 3, 4 and even 5 colours. Arya We had a Sum Dog challenge. You need to click on at the same time and you get to verse your classmates.
