ART

We have used paper and other materials such as buttons, sequins, pasta and googly eyes to create a stunning art piece of ourselves! we are very proud of our work and may display it at the show.. come and have a look at all of our work in the classroom.

THE HUNGRY CATERPILLARS!!

We have caterpillars! They are so hungry!! One of them has already turned into a chrysallis and there are two more eating up all the leaves at the moment on the swan plant. Look at the photo how this caterpillar latched itself onto a leaf, they are so clever. Come and have a look at our caterpillars with our magnifying glasses and watch them turn into beautiful butterflies!

..... Wow!! We were in class and saw the butterfly hatch from its chrysallis, it was so exciting! We couldn't believe how big it was, as it just sat calmly on the leaf drying its wings.

The next morning it jumped off onto the floor and after pumping its wings it was helped by Emma's mum to be released out the door! Go free Monnie Butterfly!

Communication - Inquiry Term 2 2010

This term our Inquiry is about Communication.

The "Big Ideas" are:

• There are lots of ways to communicate
• We need to be able to communicate in different ways depending on the situation
• We can all communicate
• Technology has influenced how we communicate
• Communication evolves over time

What do we know about communicating?
What do we want to find out about?

ANZAC Biscuits

Before ANZAC weekend Room 3 made ANZAC biscuits. We discovered there is lots of measuring to be done and even more lots of eating to be done! Suprisingly there was not many biscuits left for the final photo but there was definitly evidence of chef's at work!
We wrote out the instructions for how to make them and also sent a recipe home for the Master Chef's.

Farewell Teal!

On Teal's last day of school at Hawea Flat we had a really cool party in the Grandview room.

We played pass the parcel and musical chairs. After dancing we ate the yummy morning tea our parents provided for us.

We will all miss Teal heaps and wish him and his awesome family all the best for Christchurch.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!
