What a surprise! Thank you.

Our class loved the artists morning. 
One of our artists, Brendon made a connection with one of the many artists in our class. Showing an interest in Brendon's work and helping him resulted in a present, to encourage him to continue his own art. 
Brendon also presented our school with one of his fantastic pieces of art.

Can you see the manaia? Do you know what a manaia is?

Frog Whistle Mine #nzreadaloud

As a class we are loving reading Frog Whistle Mine by Des Hunt. We are in contact with three other classes via the Edmodo sharing platform. We tried to connect with Mrs Mac's class at Selwyn Ridge in Tauranga on the iPads via an app named appear.in.
Some groups had technical difficulties with slow feeds or sound issues. Most groups got to talk to other students and ask questions about the book, their thoughts and ideas.
