Lamb and calf Day

WALT write a recount about Lamb and Calf Day.

On Wednesday 27 October 2010 it was lamb and calf day. I took my lamb around the square on the field and I called it. I got a ribbon and it was for 2nd in care and attention. 1st in the whole group was Ryan. I had lots of fun!

Roimata's Cloak Learning Journey...

Assembly

Well done to room 16 who put on what I am sure was the best assembly this year! A big congratulations to Braedon who received the "Principal's Pencil" You are a star!

Roimatas Cloak

We read the story "Roimatas Cloak" and many wonderings came from the children...

- What is a cloak?
- What makes a cloak so special?
- Why is the cloak important?
- Can we have a cloak?

We thought we could make our own cloak that would represent us! We all brought a piece of material to school and wove it into the cloak. We saw how we can weave together and unite as one.

Music with Tim

We were lucky enough to have a music lesson with Tim! He can play two recorders out his nose! We had loads of fun dancing, marching and experimenting with instruments. We are all excited for our next lesson soon...
