workmen all around

The hall is being made up again. The workmen are extending it. It is nearly finished. Members of our class went ouside to write a story about the trucks and the workers.

"There was a man hammering the steel and what a racket that was making. And they were sealing it together and burning it."

They have also started putting mats down in the adventure playground.

We are looking forward to being able to use it again.

Tuesday

We have been sharing our collections through the last couple of weeks. Here are pictures of some of our classmates.

We have had a cat at our school through last week and yesterday.The cat was black and cute. We have been learning about adjectives.

On Thursday some of us are going to the swimming sports. The year 4's are looking forward to it but some aren't .Some of us are doing a whole width of freestyle in their house colour. At the red house meeting we had an idea that we could wear a t-shirt of our house colour. We are looking forward to Thursday.

Those of us that have finished all our art work have been doing puppet shows about making friends. So far we have seen two plays. We have found out that friends always help each other, share their toys, go to each others' houses and play with each other.

Our Fun Day

It rained before we got to have our fun day.

When the weather was hot we all enjoyed the water activities.

We had lots of different games.

Our favourite games were the sponge-carrying game and the hockey game.

Some of us really liked the wheelbarrow game where you had to hold on to the water.

One person thought that, next time it would be really good to have some skateboarding activity too.
