Sam's Rugby Boots

Today Kirsten Taylor, the author of "Sam's Rugby Boots" came to read her book to our class and the other classes in the junior school.

She kindly gave the school two free copies for our library. Her book is on sale at the office for $18 and $3 is given back to the school. The books are signed copies.

Below is the link to her website. Our class is busy finishing our colouring in competitions to send to Kirsten this week.

More Crazy Coats

Crazy Coat Day

On Friday our school had a Crazy Coat day to raise money for a Christchurch School who are needing warm coats for the winter. Here are some photos of some of our crazy coats!

Roald Dahl Experts

Mrs T has read most of the Roald Dahl books with us over term 1 and 2 and we really enjoyed them all. Here are some book quiz questions for you Roald Dahl experts to answer . . .

1.) What sort of pets did Mr and Mrs Twit keep in their garden?

2.) Who did George make the medicine for in "George's Marvellous Medicine"?

3.) What was Willy Wonka very good at making in his factory?

4.) What was the principal's name in "Matilda"?

5.) What horrible food did the BFG have to eat in Giant Country?

The BFG illustration was drawn by Ella :)

Assembly Item

Well done Room 5 . . . what a fabulous assembly item! A big thanks to Jennie for teaching us the sasa dance. Inari and Ella made a great job of introducing our item as well.

If there are any parents who would like their own personal copy of the sasa movie, they could give me a blank DVD disk and I will copy it. I will also try to put a copy of it on our class blog soon (technically a little more difficult to get a good quality clip).

Windmills

Joseph and Adam made some windmills last night to show our class. They followed a plan from a book and made a great job of them. Our whole class is going to make windmills soon as part of our wind energy topic. Joseph and Adam will be our windmill experts!
