Hot Chocolate Friday

We have been working hard this week in Room 14 and we earned a special treat on our chart.  We got to make hot chocolate.

We explained how to make it so Mrs Mawby could write the recipe.  Then we got to make our own




Next week we are going to write our own recipe for hot chocolate.

Our Worm Farm

The worms for our worm farm arrived last week.  We spent the afternoon getting their new home ready.  We all got to hold some worms and look closely at them.
 











We’ve put the worms into their new home.  Now they are ready turn our food scraps into compost.

Get NZ Writing - Part 2

We are finished!  We all wrote metaphors for ourselves and published them on a postcard.  When all the postcards were finished we put them together and this is what they look like.


Every Person is a new door to a different world.

Our postcards and poster are on their way to Te Papapa School in Onehunga, Auckland.  We are looking forward to our parcel in the next few days.




Get New Zealand Writing

Over the last 3 weeks we have been taking part in Get NZ Writing.  We use metaphors to describe our class. 

A metaphor compares two things, saying one thing is the other.

Here is our Metaphor Poem about Room 14.

Butterflies

We have had lots of fun watching the caterpillars on our Swan Plants.  Last week we were very excited when the butterflies finally emerged from their chrysalis'.



Our caterpillars were very hungry and have eaten all the leaves off our plants.  We have given them to Room 19 and hopefully there will be more butterflies before the holidays.
