Pirate Day

The treasure hidden in the pit in the library


What a fearsome crew of teachers!
Watching the parade
Ahoy there Mateys - it's the Room 15 crew!

Look at Libby's pirate cake - thanks Jo - it tasted great.
We all had a wonderful day. It began with a treasure hunt, then we made parrots, followed by Pirate PE then computer fun (and even a green screen!). After all the crazy activity we had a wonderful shared lunch. Thanks to everyone who contributed to make the day such a success. There will be some very tired pirates tonight. Straight into the hammocks tonight by 7pm or walk the plank!

Ahoy there me hearties!






In art we have been learning about different paint effects. We painted the paper blue, then we used chop sticks to make the waves. Some children made koru pattern waves. Then we cut out the shapes for the ship and we added details with vivid markers and white chalk. Our work is on the wall in class. Come and have a look!

Look carefully at Ruby

Look at Ruby and remember this photo was taken on Friday 1st April. Do you notice anything strange?

Charlotte's Praying Mantis

Today Charlotte told us about her Praying Mantis. She has had it for 2 months. It likes to eat flies and mosquitoes.
