Nest begins with 'N'

This week we celebrated our letter of the week by making chocolate crackle Nests.
Team Kea had a lot of fun mixing the ingredients and molding it into a 'nest' shape in the cupcake cases.
Everyone was surprised to find chocolate eggs in their nests when they were ready to eat! Mmmmm our nests tasted delicious!!!

A visit to Mitre 10!

We have been learning about Kotahitanga - working together as one - and we were lucky enough to go and visit Mitre 10 Mega to look at how they do lots of different jobs there but work together to make Mitre 10 a successful place. We had such a wonderful time! Leeann met us at the door and showed us around. Everyone was so friendly and stopped what they were doing to answer our questions and share information about their jobs. We saw forklifts too which were so exciting! When we left, Leeann gave us all a lollipop, a balloon and a drink bottle each. We had such a fun day and learned a lot!

A visit from the firefighters

iPods and iPads - fun times!

This week we are having fun learning to use the iPods and iPads!  We have learned to turn the on and off, take and delete photos and play the numeracy apps.  We will also be learning to play the literacy apps and some creation apps too.  

Tri-Kids!

We were so lucky to have the people from Tri-Kids come to our school last week.  They taught us how to do a triathlon!  We practised putting on a helmet, walking through transition, riding bikes and running.  Then on Thursday we did a whole triathlon!  First we ran two laps of the pool, then we rode two laps of the court on the bikes and finally ran around the blue flags and through the finish chute!  It was AWESOME!!  We also had lots of support from our wonderful parents.  Here is a slideshow of the triathlon day...
