Eating from our class garden...

Today we pulled out the celery that's been growing since last term.
After Aaliyah and Danielle kindly washed away the dirt and a (few slugs), we chopped it up, and chomped away. Some of us didn't like it, but nearly all of us tried it.

Most of us decided celery is pretty good. It goes particularly well with onion dip!
 MMmmmmmmmmm!

PET DAY

Today was Pet Day! The day started with some of the children heading out onto the field with their pets. We had lambs, calves, ponies, cats, dogs, goats and even a chook!

While the judges were busy checking out the animals, the rest of us went into the hall to create miniature rural scenes. We were joined by the other classes who were busy creating various artworks.

 

 

 



Pet Day was a lot of fun. There are lots of well looked-after and loved animals at Halcombe School.

Welcome back!

Welcome back to Room 3. I hope you all had a refreshing holiday. What a pity about the icky weather.

This term we have two new girls in our class. Welcome to Jessie Jukes and Jade Hall. Both girls are Year 3's and have come from Palmerston North schools.

Next Monday is Pet Day, and we have been busy over the past two days, working on our Applehead Dolls for this special day. Yesterday we peeled and carved faces into apples. Miss Jeynes took the apples home and they are slowly shrivelling up in her oven. (They will look like wrinkled faces in a few days!).

Today we were busy cutting, cellotaping and glueing material onto recycled plastic bottles to create the bodies for our Appleheads. Here are some of us busy at work ...

This is our lovely smiley Jade. Great to have you in Room 3!
