Cross Country

Room 7 have been training hard for cross country. The children have set goals about how many laps they would like to run without stopping. We have all been persevering and challenging ourselves to do better each time we train. Cross Country is in week 2 of term 4, so keep training over the holidays!

Well done Room 7! You have all had such positive attitudes towards cross country.

Gardening Fun

Today Room 7  ate lettuce and marmite sandwiches. We used the lettuce from the green house. Some of us hadn't had these sandwiches before and we thought they were delicious. Thank you Green Team for letting us have some of the lettuces that you have grown.



After we ate our sandwiches some of Room 7 planted 4 lettuce plants in our garden pots. Jasmine helped us to dig a hole and carefully put the lettuce plants in. We had to push the dirt around them. We are going to water them every day to make them grow.
I wonder what else we can make with the lettuces from our gardens?

Our Garden Walk

Room 7 went for a walk around our environmental area on Tuesday. We saw lots of different things and we got some ideas about what we would like to plant in our pots outside our classroom.


We saw the chickens in the garden.

We looked in the green house and we saw a delicious lettuce to eat. We wrote a letter to Miss Campbell and the Green Team to ask them if we could please have a lettuce to make some tasty marmite and lettuce sandwiches.
Thank you Miss Campbell and the Green Team for all your work and for helping us with our garden.

Fantastic Finger Painting

On Wednesday we did finger painting with Room 4. We put the gooey and lumpy glue on the paper. We squished the glue and spread it around. The slimy glue stuck to our hands. Some of us thought it was a bit yucky. We listened to the music and then painted the paper with our fingers in time to the beat of the song. Some of the songs were fast and some were slow. We all enjoyed shaking our heads and bobbing our knees to the music.

Thank you Miss Campbell and Room 4 for helping us with the finger painting.

Mmmmmm Milk

On Wednesday Room 7 drank their first container of milk. The milk tasted delicous! We have milk monitors who are going to bring the milk down to our room each day so it is ready for us to drink. Milk is very good for helping us to grow and making our bones strong. Thank you Fonterra for our free milk at school!
