Microscope Magic!

In the last week of Term 2 Alessandra halped us learn to use the microscopes which Fiordland College had donated to us. We were fascinated to see the fine detail in leaves, twigs, threads, for example. 

We are going to have another session and study bugs and bones...

'The Fairest of them All'

We were entertained today by The Playhouse actors performing 'The Fairest of them All'.
The actors were talented and very funny.

We learned that sometimes people might try to sell you junk! This is Baby Bear's broken chair...

And this is Aladdin's magic lamp that has lost its magic.

The Magic Mirror has lost its reflection.

 Snow White and the Price are trying to have a conversation but the Prince doesn't know how because he spends all his time on the internet.

The internet troll wants to put a virus on Snow White's computer.

The  Trojan Horse made friends with Snow White and then put the virus on her computer for the internet troll. The virus made it look like Snow White was saying mean things about people. 

Snow White asked the Seven Dwarves to help her get rid of the virus.

They snuck up on the internet troll and grabbed his computer. They wrote a message explaining that the internet troll was responsible for the mean messages.  

They all lived happily ever after.
The messages of the play were: don't spend all our time on a computer, get out and make real friends; don't trust people you don't know; and don't let  people you don't know use your computer (oh, and be nice to one another!)

Pirate Day

Rooms 2 and 4 had a Pirate Day on Tuesday 24th May to end our Movement and Position unit.

 We made pirate hats and brought along some pirate gear from home.

 We made treasure maps and had a treasure hunt around the school. Some of the treasure was quite hard to find, but we all managed it in the end!

 We look like a scary bunch of pirates, don't you think?

 We had to walk the plank...

 and if we failed we had to...

 brave shark-infested seas.

 We all survived and we had a mighty pirate battle...

 using our cutlasses and our best acting. No children were injured in the making of this blog.

Autumn Ramble

We had great fun walking through the park and looking at the autumn trees and leaves.

We made a big pile of leaves and threw them into the air.

We also made leaf angels. It was a bit cold lying on the ground!l
