School's Day Out - Waikato Show

The Totara and Kauri teams went to 'School's Day Out' at the Claudelands Event Centre.

We had so much fun being artists, finding out more about the Civil Defence and what they do. We met some officers from the NZ Police force, we just had to pat the four day old Alpaca, we also learnt about the fish in our Waikato river and much more!









We also got to take part in Alph's Army with Major Blunder, which was very exciting but a bit floury!

Before we left we spent some time on stage with the Funky Monkey's.

It was a great day. Did you go to the Show? Did you see some of the things that we did?

Autumn Writing

We used Gail Loane to help us share the things we love about Autumn. We also used our senses to describe Autumn.

Ms O'Neil took photos of our work displayed in our classroom. Please come and visit if you would like to read more.

We wonder how Autumn makes you feel?

A Friend in the Wild


These movies show the children's favourite part of the story - A Friend in the Wild by Marie Gibson.

They drew what they visualized and then recorded themselves reading.

If you have read this book, tell us what was your favourite part. We love it when you comment!
