ANOTHER BUZZY BEE UPDATE

Room 21 is having a great time and still working hard at such a busy time of year! 

Here are some reminders of important dates that are coming up, as well as an update on what we are learning at school.

We are learning what fitness really means and what we can do to help ourselves get fit and healthy when we use the new adventure playground.
We exercise our arms, legs, back, feet, hands, eyes and brain when we do a course challenge.  Don't let your feet touch the tiles or you might get eaten by a shark!

We are learning about the different sounds the letter y can make in our poem.  It is in the words you, your, body, fluffy.  It makes a 'yi' sound at the start of words like you and an 'ee' sound at the end of words like fluffy.  Sometimes it changes the way a words sounds like the y in Floyd!

We are learning about the digraph 'ght'.  It was in yesterday's poem and is in words like bright, light, right, brought.  The g does not make a sound!  We see this digraph a lot in the books we are reading.

We are learning to write interesting stories.  We use the treasure bag to help us. Our writing is incredible and we will bring it home at the end of the year!

SWIMMING IS ON!

We had a great swim last week,  and are ready for another this week!  Our teachers were very impressed with how much we had improved! Goggles are a great idea as they help us feel more confident underwater.  Swimming caps help us to float! 

The most important thing is that we have a go and be safe...oh and that we have a towel,  plastic bag and togs.

ARAHOE BEES!!

Today Room 21 went for a walk to meet our bees! 

We have about 100,000 bees in our garden! 

We followed the rules for our bees though-

    🌟 Wear shoes

    🌟 Walk slowly

    🌟 Be very quiet

    🌟 Keep our hands by our sides!

We loved the bees so much we walked back through again!

Welcome to our school bees! :-)

BUSY BEE UPDATE

We had a surprise visitor in Room 21 today- a baby tui!  Miss Ellis' cat brought it into her house last night. He seemed okay,  just very very hungry. 
Miss Ellis fed him some kitten food, popped him in a shoe box with a hot water bottle and let him sleep in the hot water cupboard.
She brought him to school and we all got to watch him being fed.
After school the baby tui was taken to the bird rescue in Green Bay.  They thought he was about one week old, and that everyone did a great job looking after him. 
Special thanks to Ava, Nathan T and Hazzie for their extra TLC.

♥ Awesome buddy reading today guys!  You are really working together like bees in a beehive!

Ka pai!
Love,
Roald
