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.

Sketching

Today we sketched the old school bell and the cart at the end of the field.
We looked very closely at different parts and made sure we sketched as much
detail as possible.
We will be selling our sketches at the Gala day on Saturday.

the day.

HAVE A LOVELY HOLIDAY ROOM 1

We had a visitor at school today!

This is Dino the lamb.  He belongs to Mrs G in Room 8.  She is his new mum. He has to be fed every 2 hours.  He loves being around people.  You should see how his tail waggles when he drinks from his bottle.
