The Dental Van

This week the dental nurses arrived in a huge van. It had a bed in it and a kitchen, and an office desk. Some of our class were really disappointed that they didn't get to look inside, so here is a picture of Poppy wearing sunglasses and lying down on the bed. Doesn't she look COOL!

And later in the day Poppy's wobbly tooth fell out. She went to show the dental nurses the big hole. They were VERY surprised!

Pet Day

Today was Pet Day. We all brought our pet or a toy animal to school. There were lamb drinking races, dressed up dogs, and pony rides. We saw all kinds of animals including fish, water snails, turtles, guinea pigs, mice, reptiles, cats, ducklings, hens, goats, calves, lambs, ponies, rabbits and dogs. It was a wonderful day.

Good Things Take Time!

Today we had a visit from Liz Weir. She is a story teller. She brought her puppets and told us wonderful stories about how it took a long time to learn to work together with them. They were naughty sometimes! This puppet was learning the words to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" but he got them all wrong on purpose.

Pathways to Acceptance

This term we have been doing "Time Team" activities. We have looked at past civilisations and at how the Olympics started. We have even looked way back to the dinosaur times! We discussed why people have to work together in teams and take on different roles. Then we decided that everyone is different and we all find different things easy or hard. To be a good Springston Learner we have to be accepting of these differences because we can all learn from each other. This helps to build richly exciting civilisations like those in the past.

Please read and enjoy our wonderful book.

World Teacher's Day

October 26 is World Teacher's Day. This year the theme is about teacher's beng champions every day. In Canterbury we are facing a big challenge to our profession with the recent announcements of 13 school closures and 18 mergers. The disruption to children and their school communities could be widespread and long lasting.
This link allows you to do something for schools or teachers you know will be facing stressful times. Please nominate a teacher to be an everyday champion. http://www.everydaychampions.co.nz/ 

Molly took this photo today of our wonderful class being responsible and staying on task.

I Wonder Why?

Today we had to make space on our walls for new paintings, so our Wonder Wall had to come down. We have made it into a book for you all to enjoy.  It might get you wondering about a few things too.

 

Father's Day.

Yesterday it was Father's Day. It's a really special day. We love to play with our dad. We give him presents. In the morning we give our dad a hug, and a kiss, and we wake him up by saying "Happy Father's Day!"

We make a Man's breakfast for him. We give him his favourite food. 

Dad does the things he likes to do, all day. No jobs! We do all the work.

We make him a beautiful, exquisite card, and a nice, heavy, small, special present. And we take him out to dinner. 

Dad really loved his day with us.

Poppy made this Wordle for Father's Day.
