Zoo Trip

Friday was an exciting day for Team 1.  We had our much anticipated Zoo trip.

We headed out on buses and were soon enjoying all the sights, sounds and smells! of the zoo.

The children were so excited to see the animals "for real".  Despite the heat and being very tired from alot of walking all the children were very well behaved.
It was a quiet trip back to school with many sleepy kids.

Manaiakalani film festival

What a great day we had on Wednesday.  We travelled on buses to Hoyts Cinemas and watched some of the amazing movies made by Pt England School pupils.

It was the first time we had seen our movie and we were so proud of it.  Thanks to Mrs Squires for putting in together for us.  You can view it here on Mrs Squires class blog.

Jack and the Beanstalk

As part of our inquiry into Dance and Drama we have been learning about the traditional story of Jack and the beanstalk.  We have listened to the story, acted it out using dress-ups. We planted our own beans and wrote stories about it.

Maybe our beans will be magic too!!!

We put cotton wool balls and water into a plastic bag.  We put the bags on the window so we could see the roots and stems grow.  Then we waited.

After one week our beans were starting to sprout.

After two weeks the beans were growing roots, stems and leaves!
