Cat at night: Poetry

In written language our students wrote marvelous poetry. Our goal was to paint a visual image with words. Read these spectacular examples! Cats, Ebony eyes Sparkle at day Night time shiny and yellow POUNCE... by Kohana Dancing Flower in the wind Waving gently, softly Delicate petals smooth and sweet Waving by Tobie Cat Midnight black Stalking his prey Looking like dark coal Hunting for fat mice in the TALL green grass Scavenging in bins At midnight by Hemiana Puss white light stalks his prey before the morning rise he hunts like a tiger he falls asleep, silent the sun rises he awakes and streeeeeeeetches. by Arapata

Dioramas and Ice Cream!

Over the last few weeks room 5 have created magnificent cat dioramas based on our own original cat poetry. It involved painting, gluing, glitter, pastels, templates, ice-block sticks and weaving and creating images using the computer. The results are TERRIFIC! On Friday we all had an ice cream to celebrate Daffodil Day...Yummy!

Healthy Eating

Room 5 were lucky enough to be chosen for a student nurse presentation by Massey nurses in training. Their names were Amber (from Woodville) and Katelyn who attended our school. We learned about the healthy eating pyramid, how much fat is in popular foods and ate healthy snacks and fruit kebabs. It was a terrific lesson. All families received a lunchbox snack card filled with healthy choices.
