Wacky Hair Day/Wig Day

 Today we are celebrating Wig Wednesday. We are doing it today because our seniors were on camp on the real wig Wednesday. 

We have lots of people with wigs or wacky hair in our class today to help raise money for the child cancer foundation. 

Student Spotlight - Ava

 This week we did an experiment were we put sharp pencils into a little bag of water and a big bag of water. I thought the bag was going to explode but it didn't because it just got a wee hole and the water came out like a waterfall. We thought Miss Pugh was magic. 

Crystal Making

For the last two weeks, we have been making crystals and watching them grow. We made them using borax, water and food colouring and then put a straw or pipe cleaner into the jar.

We finally took them out of the jars this week and this is what they looked like.

Student Spotlight - Evie

Last week we brought in a box and we wrote about what we thought was in it.
When we opened it the parts to set up a little garden league clubhouse was inside. It came with a mailbox. We had to write letters and fill out an application to be in the club and post it in the box. 

Counting with Ladybugs

Last week we made some ladybugs. 

We then practiced our counting, adding and subtracting by using the spots on the wings. 

Daffodil Day

Today we celebrated Daffodil Day at Kaniere School!
Our class did really well at dressing up. Some people had daffodils pinned to their tops, others had yellow hairspray and yellow face paint and we all were given a tattoo for giving a gold coin donation. 
The whole school got dressed up and we are going to see everyone's outfits at assembly time.

Art for the Westland District Library

Last week We had Krystel, a librarian from the Westland District Library come and visit our class. We read a Book that won book of the year and then made some very cool suns out of paper plates, yarn and crepe paper.
Our artwork is on display at the library if you would like to go and see it.

Here are the photos of our finished products.
