The Big Climbing Wall 19 November 2009
Today we had a turn on the big, high climbing wall. It was a bit scary at first but we all had more than one turn and some of us got up really high. Phoenix and Max went the highest. The man who taught us how to do it was very helpful. Some of the handholds were quite hard to reach for us but we made good use of the ladders on the side. This helped us to get up higher. Here are some pictures of us all having a go at it.

Our First Vegetable from Our Garden
On Friday 6 November we picked our first vegetable from our garden. It was a lettuce!. Here it is after we took all the outside leaves off. Some of us had a taste and we enjoyed it.
We have some strawberries that are nearly ripe and we can hardly wait for them to be ready to eat.

WGC Pantomimes
Today we went to Wellington Girls College to see some pantomimes that the drama classes had made up for us. We saw Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretal, Snow White and Cinderella. We really enjoyed them and we thought the big girls were very good at acting. Here are some pictures of the pantomimes we saw.
Room Two's Garden
Yesterday we looked at our garden and we saw it had grown lots in the holidays. Today we transplanted some pea plants into our garden and then we watered it well so all the plants will grow.

Powhiri 18 September
Last Friday we had a Powhiri at school. The year 3 and 4's had stayed the night in the School Hall and they welcomed us onto the field with a Powhiri. Amanda called for us and Sebastian and Max and Mathias did our speeches and we all sang some Maori songs. After the year 3 and 4's had done their speeches and songs and a haka, we gave them a koha of food. We all then lined up to hongi. It took a long time! Then we all went down to Room 4 and had a shared lunch together. Here are some pictures from the Powhiri.

The School Disco 4 September
We had a school disco on Friday 4 September. We had good fun and we saw lots of our friends there. We also bought different sorts of flashing lights and danced to great music. Here are some photos of us at the Disco.
Assembly and the Friendship Cloaks
Last Thursday we helped to take the School Assembly with Room One. We stood at the front and told the Assembly who was to come up next. We also showed the other children our Friendship Cloaks that we made with Room One with Amanda. Here are some photos from the Assembly. If you want to see the cloaks you can come and see them hanging up in Rooms One and Two.

Our City
We made this city with lots of help from the children in our class. The children who helped are Isaac, Leon, Kate, Rueben and Rebekah. We made people to go in the city and the city has a swimming pool and a cafe below the skyscraper. It has a playground for the children and lots of different buildings. If you go up to the top of the skyscraper it will make you dizzy.
