School Gala 3.12.10

Mya is adding her legs and her eyes to her rock.

Look at our beautiful insects and spiders we are making for the school gala. We are selling them for only 50 cents each.

Thank-you "Yummy"

Room Two and Foxton Beach School says thank-you to all the wonderful sponsors of the "Yummy" fruit stickers for sport gear promotion. Our local New World at Foxton is one of these great people. This year we gathered enough stickers to win over $580 worth of free sports gear. We can't wait to use them.

Our Garden 1.12.10

Look how big our garden has got. We have had some very hot weather at Foxton Beach this week and we have had to water our garden. Look how tall our sunflowers are.

Enya week 8

Enya is an Aunty. Her big sister Kerrian had a beautiful baby girl. Enya brought us these photos to show us.

Tobloids 24.11.10

Isn't it great to see a Five year old competing against one of our seniors. This was water in the bucket.

The very large egg and spoon race.

Waiting for instructions before we started our fun afternoon. The whole school was involved from year 0 to year 8. Our School is divided into four houses and the little children are mixed in with children from all over the school.

Joshua 25.11.10

Joshua brought this fascinating cow's tooth from his father's farm. His Daddy has been farming for a long time and this is only the second cows tooth he has ever found. Do you know that a baby cow is called a calf? It takes two years for the tooth to fall out.

Eve-Ellen 24.11.10

Here is the picture Eve-Ellen drew of Mount Ruapehu. They stayed at Mangatepopo.

Eve found these three rocks in the river.

Red nose appeal

Even our teacher's car has a red nose on it.

Eve that is so tricky to wear your nose when you have glasses as well.

These children in room two are supporting the local appeal. We got our noses and braclets from our local Take Note Store in Foxton. It is to help children with cancer.

Lettuce from our garden 15.11.10

The last two waiting for those yummy lettuce sandwiches. Taliah and Enya.

Joshua is ready to munch and look at Rayden's big bite.

Taine's Mum didn't believe that Taine had tried a lettuce sandwich. Look at that big bite.

Eve-Ellen munching away.

You could have white bread or brown bread with marmite if you wanted or just plan lettuce.

Waiting for lunch.

Mrs Mortensen was trying to hide. In the background you can see our gardening patch at the end of the senior classrooms.

Isn't it amazing we had 21 children around that little table.

Codey is off to wash his lettuce.

Rayden had worked out we needed to pull off some of the leaves that we couldn't eat.
Jazlyn is off to wash the lettuce for our sandwiches.

Chloe is showing you the roots on the lettuce that were in the ground.Mr Mortensen is starting to harvest our lettuce.

Room two went out to check our garden and we were really excited to finally have something that we had grown all by ourselves ready to eat. Everyone helped by pulling out some weeds while we waited. Some of the children washed the lettuce so it was safe to eat. We found some ants on some of the leaves and didn't want to eat them. Everyone of our class tried our sandwich. Guess what Mum's and Dad's most of them ate that special sandwich because it wasn't ordinary lettuce. It was home grown!

Joshua's baby chicks. 15.11.10

It was fantastic to be able to hold these soft little birds. They certainly made a loud noise.

Here is Joshua holding one of the baby chicks.

Joshua brought these lovely baby chickens from his farm.

Harold comes to visit 12.11.10

Harold from the Life Education Trust came for a visit on Friday. It was an exciting day for us as room 5 had just returned from camp. Harold promised he would come back for a visit. Isn't it great when people keep their promise.

Discovery time week 5.

Believe it or not but the milk bottle tops had changed into fish.

A great day weather wise for water play.

Putting some more water in for water play.

Ben, Tyler and Codey at the back were using the flag pole for their imaginary play.

Sitting in the shade using our imaginations.
