Wacky Hair Day

Today (Friday) we had a wacky hair day to raise money for the Westpac Rescue helicopter. There were some very wacky hair dos and a whole lots of wigs. We all looked very cool.

Miss Jowett

For the past 2 weeks we have had Miss Jowett in our classroom. Miss Jowett is a student teacher from the University/College. She has taken lots of lessons in PE, reading, maths and health. We made healthy snack food labels with her as well as problem solving in maths. We will miss her when she goes, but she has promised to keep in touch with us. We wish Miss Jowett good luck for her future as a teacher.

Golf

On Friday, Melanie the golf lady came out to teach the middle syndicate how to hit a golf ball. We absolutely loved it and Melanie told us that there were lots of people with wonderful swings. First of all we used a flag to get our grip and swing correctly. Next we used a club to hit a large ball, then we hit a tennis ball and finally we hit a rubber golf ball. Some of the shots went very far and some didn't. We would love to do more golf if we could.

Harold and The Life Education Trust

This week we have been off to see Harold in the Life Education trailer. We love seeing Harold and learning about all the good things he has got to tell us. This year we are doing a topic called 'Space Invaders.' We met an alien who arrived on Earth and was intrigued by the concept of growing food and eating it. We had to out different foods into 3 categories: From the ground, from animals and made with ingredients. It was fun. In the next lesson we will be looking at what happens to the food inside our body.

The BFG

We have started reading another Roald Dahl book called the BFG. Do you know what the BFG stands for? It stands for the Big Friendly Giant. This book is a favourite of Mr Powell's. So far Sophie has been taken by the BFG to a far away land filled with giants. She has seen all of the other horrible giants and is now asking the BFG what he was doing with his funny looking instruments.
