Comments!

It is so wonderful to get all your comments! If you have tried and are not quite sure how, you can click on Anonymous and your message will just disappear. It comes to me to be checked and I will publish it. You do not have to have a blogger account. You can, by all means, create one, but it is not necessary to post a comment. You may need to scrol down to find this option. :-)

Buddy Time

We are lucky! We have the best buddy class in the whole school. This week they invited us up to their room and taught us how to do and make things. They have been learning about procedural writing and thought they could share some of their writing with us. Check out what we got up to...

Gingerbread Man Stories

Here they are! The stories you have been waiting for! We read the story of The Gingerbread Man and brainstormed the characters and settings, the problem and the solution and the ending. Then we had a go at writing the story on our own. So here are some finished ones...

Library Visit

Our library is out of action this term as a bunch of 5 year olds have invaded adventure school. We are lucky and Mrs Evan's still comes to visit us every second friday, but on every other Monday we get to go tothe Whitby library. We see Margaret down there and she lets us look all through her library! Then we choose our books, hear a story from Miss Baines and then have a wee play at the park (because we miss a bit of our morning tea play). We get the whole playground to oursleves and it is a neat treat for after the library!

Check us out having a great time!

Cross Country

Here are a few pictures from the Cross Country! Enjoy! We all ran really well. We had trained hard and all tried our best on the day. Go Alcove 2!
