Dog Safety Visit
Today we were visited by Kim and Chris from the Christchurch City Council Dog Safety Team. Kim and her dog Joker taught us about how to care for a dog and we learnt that "If a dog is on its own, leave it alone". Chris and his dog Baxter taught us how to use our bags as a shield in case a dog attacks. He also taught us how to pat a dog safely. We have to ask the owner if we can pat the dog, approach with our hands like a rock and then pat them on the chest. Chris said "Chest is best". Check out the photo's below!

Sharnie The Dog
Today Alick's Mum bought in their new family dog. She was very excited to sniff all the children and show us her tricks. We found out that she likes to sleep on Alick's Mums bed and that she has a couple of toys that she likes to play with. Sharnie has also broken a plate by jumping up on the bench when no one was looking!!! It was so much fun meeting her today and getting to pat her. She was super friendly.

Jade's Nana's Rabbits
Today Jade's Nana bought in her rabbits to show us. She breeds them and takes them to shows. We got to pat some of the rabbits and feed them apples. Charlie was allowed out of his cage so we could pat him. One rabbit had some little 3 week old babies. What a great language experience for us to write about next week!

What a busy day!
Today has been a super busy "Fun Friday!"
This morning Miss Rankin continued testing our reading. We are all improving and doing so well! After morning tea we made Marmite sandwiches. They were yummy. On Monday we will use this experience to write a set of instructions for someone else to follow.
After lunch Kaydence and Maliyah from Room 19 came down to help paint our hands. We used handprints to make the wings and feet on our Spring Chickens. They even cleaned up the brushes and paint for Miss Rankin!!
When we were all tidied up we went to assembly. Our Award winners were:
Ava - Heart of Achievement
Epafara - Duffy Award - HUGE improvement in Reading.
Cameron - Super Star
Kinaya - Class Award - Always making good choices.
Remember there is only one week until the school holidays :-)
Lunchtime.
Today while eating our lunch we got to watch the Netball game between Avondale and Aranui Primary School!

Language Experience
Today we experimented with different powders (milo, icing sugar, cinnamon, raro, sugar, salt) to see which we liked and which we didn't like. Can you guess which ones were a hit and which ones we screwed our faces up to? Miss Rankin didn't tell us if what we were about to taste was 'naughty' or 'nice'. We got good at guessing though! On Monday we'll write some wonderful recounts using our senses of sight, smell and taste!

Language Experience
Today for language experience we had some fun with shaving foam. We were able to draw with it, squish it in our hands, smooth it out and generally experiment with it. It was so much fun! When we were all cleaned up we brainstormed a lot of words about the experience. We focussed on our senses, so what it looked like, sounded like, felt like and smelt like. On Monday we will use this experience to write a story using some really interesting vocabulary. Have a look at the photo's below!
