Ōwairaka Art Exhibition

Today we went with our buddy class Room 22 to the Art Exhibition. It was amazing to see such beautiful and creative art.

Here are a few photos from our visit.

Wonderful art!

Police Dog Visit

We went out to the field to see the police dogs.  Here are a few photos from the session.

This is what we noticed about Police Dogs:

• They are very smart.
• They are very playful and fast.
• They get toy and food rewards.
• They chase people and can jump high.
• They follow their police handler's instructions.

Here is a short video of the police dog and the handler.

Te Reo

We went to Nga Ringa Awhina to learn with Whaea Kristie. Here are a few photos from the lesson. Today we were learning to say how we are feeling.

Here are some different ways that you can answer.

We read a fabulous story about birds and how they were feeling.

We had turns getting up and speaking in front of the class. 

Ka pai Ruma Rima!

Reading

 Today we read our books to our buddies. We are getting really good at reading in Room 5.

We went to the library and got to pick new books too. We love picking our own books to take back to class. Here are a few pictures of us in the library.

We love to read and listen to stories in Room 5.
