Our Cards to Vanuatu

"Hey Miss Bright - Lets write a letter to Vanuatu?"...... So we did

 We first of all wrote our own letters in our draft books.

Then we gathered together as table groups to create one big card.

We worked together to create one letter using all of our ideas.

We then made 4 cards to send to Vanuatu from the students of J12. We felt very lucky to be at school today as we know that some children in Vanuatu can't go to school today because of Cyclone Pam.

The Traveling Teddy!

Teddy will  be off on his adventures this weekend with one of the lucky students from J12. In this book the students will write all the fun things they do with Teddy and then share it on Monday morning. I wonder who will be taking Teddy home first? 

We got Mail!!!

Our postman for the week getting our mail - our kiwi kids newspaper comes every Friday with the latest news from around the world!! Today we learnt about Dr Seuss's new book and Chinese new year 

My family are special to me because....

Our pieces of writing about why our family are special

Swimming is Awesome!!

We went swimming today and had a blast!!! We are learning to be confident in the water and respect everyone else that joins us in the water.

In conjunction with our swimming program we are learning a little surf lifesaving skills in order to stay safe on the beach! 

Our beach safety rule for this week is to: Swim between the flags!!
