Pyjama Day Discovery Time

Looks like these children forgot to get dressed before they cam to school today......

Flight Inquiry

Wow, look at the fantastic planes that Kindle 2 children designed and built. The children found out that the shape and position of the wings affected how well their plane flew.

Our Trip to Dunedin International Airport

On Thursday, we went to Dunedin International Airport in a bus. It took about half an hour to get there. Judy met us outside and first we went through the departure gates to the security screening section of the airport. We got to put our bags on the conveyor belt and have them x-rayed. We walked through the metal detector and some people were checked with the hand held scanner. We sat in the seats and a security staff member told us about his job and why it is important. Next we had some morning tea while we watched some planes get loaded up then take off. We also watched some other planes land. Lastly we went to the airport fire station and saw the new fire engine. We got on the bus and travelled back to school just in time for lunch. What a fantastic trip! Thank you to all the parent helpers who came with us.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

My Little Zoo

This week our poem of the week was called 'My Little Zoo' by Jenny Giles

My Little Zoo
Here is the tiger.
Here is the bear.
Here is the elephant, too.
Come and see
    the animals
        in my little zoo.

The children in Kindle 2 made their own little zoo and then talked to the class about it.
