Working in our Garden

Oh dear! After planting vegetables in our garden, just before the holidays - we came back to school to find our garden had been gobbled up by some hungry critters! Chooks? Rabbits? Possums? We weren't too sure.

So today some of us (with the help of some wonderful Room 6 buddies), got stuck into our garden.

We planted snow peas, tomatoes and parsley. We also planted some flowers in our round tub outside our class.

Now our garden is looking a bit healthier. All we need to do now is put up  'critter-proof'' netting around the outside.

Pet Day

Today was Pet Day! Lots of children brought lambs, calves, dogs, cats, chooks etc ... to school.

Luckily the rain stayed away, and everyone got a chance to show off their special pet. Here are some photos of the day ...

Over the past 2 weeks, Room 3 children have been working on creating artworks for Pet Day. We made farm animals from using paper plates, and then got creative with pet rocks.

A Rainy Cross Country

On Friday the heavens opened and it poured ... just in time for Cross Country!
After some quick decision-making - we decided to have our Cross Country at school so children could shelter in their rooms while waiting for their races.

Despite the rain, everyone gave their best - well done for coping with change everyone!

Here are some pics ....

We warmed up back in class ... by the heater .... brrrrr!

Goodbye Mrs Stroud

Today was a bit sad for Room 3. Mrs Stroud (our lovely teacher aide), who works with Jack, had her day with us. She is leaving Halcombe School after working here for 3 years.

We made her a card and wish her all the best for her new job in Feilding.

Goodbye Mrs Stroud!

Cross Country Practice

Welcome back everyone! What a lovely, warm day to return to school on.
