Dear Tyler!

Dear Tyler

Thank you for the wee note, I am looking forward to going away to Wanaka.

I had a great year with you and I really enjoyed teaching you, you have a fun spirit and a very kind personality. I hope you enjoy your holiday and especially enjoy Christmas day!!

We are having Nanna Beryl and Robbie stay on Christmas Eve and then we are having a special breakfast on Christmas day with Heather, Lewis and Olive. Then we are going on a picnic to Long Beach with everyone including all of my family and nieces and nephews. Hopefully we will get a nice day so we can have a splash about in the sea.

Oh well it was lovely hearing from you.

Take Care Mrs C-B

Merry Christmas!!

Mrs Johnson's Visit! Petra's Mum!!

Today Petra's Mum came and she showed us and Room 5 how to gut a fish. She gutted a Mullet and we saw it's guts, liver and stomach. I had to go outside to get some fresh air. The fish still tasted yum.

I hated looking at it's blood! I have eaten a fishes eye ball before it was white and small. I ate it in one bite. The fish was dry and it was about 2cm long, it was grey and white and orange.

The fish we ate today was about 28cm long, but it was still small. I had tasted one in Japan before.

Petra's Mum lived on a farm so she knows how to gut a fish, and she has gutted hens, chickens and ducks.

Thank you Mrs Johnson.

Mrs Johnson came to Room 6 with a dead fish and a knife, a bucket, and an ice cream container.
We all got into a circle and Mrs Johnson started to talk about the fish, I think it was called a Mullet.

When the fish was getting cut Mrs Johnson showed us the fishes liver, guts. intestines, stomach, heart and bottom.

A fact from Mrs Johnson was the Maori chopped off the fishes head and made fish head soup!

Amy


I think seeing Mrs Johnson gut a fish was pretty revolting but still cool. She showed us and Rm 5 the liver,intestine,stomach,guts and bottom. The fish was a Mullet.

It tasted so DELICIOUS!!! I had 2 helpings. The 2nd one didn't taste very nice somehow. Mullet tastes like chicks on the outside and chicken[food] on the inside.

Pet Day!

WOW what an amazing day we had. Thank you to Mrs Wood and our student council for organising such a cool event.

We had ducklings, rabbits, blue tongued lizards, dogs, goats, cats, fish, guinea pigs, rats, mice, soft toys that had been dressed up and an ant farm. I have never been involved in such a cool pet day before at any of my previous school's.

We went to different rooms and did an activity linking in with the pet theme. The children in my room made a habitat and a mixed up animal. Lots of creative ideas! We then went back to our rooms and made sand saucers which were later judged by the council for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Then we wandered from class to class looking at all of the wonderful things people had made and all of the animals.

After lunch we had a pet parade where and each section was judged by a lady from pet planet (the lady from pet planet donated some AWESOME prizes). We then had an assembly where the lady fro the SPCA came and talked to us bringing Walter the dog. We presented her with our donations that we had brought along to school.

Dear Mrs C-B

My potato Angler fish was our dinner!! I made it with potato, one piece of broccoli, silver beet, and two raisins for the eyes. I stuck it together with tooth picks.

I made an Angler fish because they live down in the midnight zone and that is my favourite zone.

Matthew and Tayna's Fruit and Vege Models!

Hamish's Native Kiwi!

Hi Mrs CB

Here is my native Kiwi. I hope you like it.
I used a Kiwi fruit. Dad helped me shape a carrot for the beak. He has pins for eyes. I used toothpicks for legs and cardboard feet. He is cool.

Keita's Puffer Fish!

Dear Mrs CB

I thought of a sea creature that was a round shape because I've got an Orange. And I thought of a puffer fish. I made it out of Orange and lots of toothpicks. I got a pen and I wrote a mouth and eyes.

From Keita

P.S. I was going to ask my mum to take a photo of it over the weekend and send it to you. But I wanted to show the class my puffer fish, so I didn't send a photo.

Mason's Orange and Grape Caterpillar!

This is Mason's orange and grape caterpillar. It is so cool and I am impressed that he has been inspired by the photo's below and made one himself.

AWESOME job Mason!!

Leave a comment and tell Mason what you think of it!

Wow, we think that your caterpillar is awesome Mason - you are very creative. Mrs C-B might like to look on Room 10 Outram's blog as I have put up some cool creative painted hand pictures. Maybe that could be your next fun task!
Well done Mason from Mrs P and Room 10 at Outram School.

This is such a cool comment for Mason that I decided to show you all on the blog!! Thank you Mrs P and Room 10.

Our New Readers Map!

We have started another year with our readers map, so I thought I would get a different map for us.

This one is cool and you will see that if you run your cursor over the star you will find out what country the people live in.

Have a go Room 6!

These pictures are amazing and are made out of food, just like the ones that are posted below. I found these once again on the cool blog of http://outram10.blogspot.com/, you should check it out.

Thank you Room 10 once again and what a great idea to make our own one and send a photo to the blog.

Have a go at making your own fun food and emailing me a photo to put on the blog. Remember to email your photo to jopurplerainbow@xtra.co.nz. You could make it a sea theme if you like to go alongside our Inquiry for this term. 'Close Encounters of the Marine Kind'

Welcome to Term 4!

Hi All Welcome to term 4 of our school year. I hope you all had a great holiday. I enjoyed most parts of it especially when we went to Christchurch for 8 days. I love having fun with my family we went on heaps of adventures and especially liked Science Alive and QE2 pool (Gabe calls it the pirate pool because it has pirate ship in it). I LOVED going to the Arts Market on Saturday, it is always one of my favourite things to do and the family know whenever we are in Christchurch that's where Mum wants to go!

We are doing lots of athletics at the moment as we have sports day next Monday, please remember that sun hats are a must. We will be having Mrs Garth come and teach us for 3 weeks, starting this Monday coming. I am in the middle of doing a term letter which you will receive next week with more information on it.

I was just so pleased with our last Inquiry and after doing some testing and marking of your Inquiry books I can see that you all learnt a lot.

Please leave a comment and tell me what you got up to in the holidays.

Cool Pictures!!

Leave a comment and tell me how you think these pictures are made!! They are really AMAZING!! I found them on Outram school's blog - thank you Room 10 Outram School.
