Shotover Air Show

We are doing a lot of thinking around writing this week in Skippers. We're looking at procedural texts (instructions). In order to understand how to write instructions, we had to follow some to make a paper plane.  Check out our planes! Next we're going to write our instructions.

Skippers writing time.

We are learning to illustrate our silly sentences. 

Experimenting with Robots at Town Time

Look at the Joy on the children's faces. They are so excited to be learning using these robots with Miss Emma.

Helping Hands

The Adventurers, Discoverers and Investigators used their Helping Hands and picked up rubbish from around Shotover Country Estate. They found an amazing amount rubbish and some cool irrigation pipes that will be chopped up and used at Town Time.

Thank you to all the parents who came and supported us, carried the big bits and kept us all safe.

Another big thank you to Sharyn and Grant Stalker who gave all those children who helped an ice block for their efforts.

Fireworks Art

Tomorrow is Guy Fawkes night so today we learned about why this night is so famous.  Then the Investigators made fireworks pictures. 

The Investigators dressed as their favourite book characters this morning. What a great variety of books we read! Thanks for your help, Mum and Dad.
