HOT AIR BALLOONS

This morning some of us looked up into the beautiful crisp blue sky,  to see a colourful hot air balloon hovering in the sky like a cloud.  This was a perfect day to draw hot air balloons and write a poem.
We had a great time creating our beautiful hot air balloons.  What do you think?

Diwali

We have been learning about Diwali.  Diwali is the celebration of lights and is celebrated in late October or early November.  It celebrates the Indian new year.  Diwali celebrations last for 5 days.  Here are some rangoli patterns we made.  These mats are put at the door of houses to welcome visitors over this time.

Welcome to our gorgeous new girl in Room 1.

Our visit to the Arrowtown Museum

At the Arrowtown Museum there is an old schoolhouse from 1863.
There is a teacher Miss Gray.  She is very stern and strict.
She checked our nails were clean and our necks.
The boys had to hand out all the slate boards.
Miss Gray was scary.  She made us all recite a poem over and over again.
We were not allowed to to say a word.
We all got to dress up like the children in the old days.
We learnt heaps about what it was like in a real school house.
