Last Thursday we walked to the Esplanade. We have been learning about habitats and living things. We went on a bush walk. Mrs Lunn could even remember the names of some native trees she learnt way back when she was at Teachers' College! We liked Rangiora (Bushman's toilet paper) the best! We learnt all about pests and predators. We even got to feed the ducks! Thanks very much to Mrs Mitchell, Mr Hatier, Mrs Phillips and Mrs Hemsley for helping on our trip! We had a great time!

Reading whiz kids!
We have been very busy learning to read at school today. Here are some cool photos Mrs Lunn took. Micah and Luke were very busy writing words at the Spelling Table. Mailla was reading some poems and Barnaby and Sahara were busy at the Handwriting Table. Mrs Lunn says all this practise is making us wonderful readers!
Marvellous Micah
Micah is our Superstar Writer of the Day. Mrs Lunn was so impressed with the repetition in his story! Micah gets to take the Wow Writing Folder home with a photocopy of his work in it to show his family. We wonder who will be the Superstar Writer of the Day tomorrow? Watch this space!

A furry visitor
On Thursday a rabbit came to visit us. We thought he was wonderful! We were able to feed him straw and stroke his soft fur.
