HI CLEVER KIWIS!!

Hi guys!
I am in London at the moment having a great time with my brother. Clever Wiki and I are missing you guys and hope you are being good for Miss Harrington. I have sent you a postcard so it will hopefully arrive to you soon. Here are some photos for you to see a little bit of London. The photo of me with the giant M&Ms is in an M&M shop that is 4 stories high and has all the M&M's you could ever imagine!!
I will post again soon when I can,
Love Miss K :)

The big clock in the background of this photo is called the Ben Ben, isn't it huge!

This bridge is called the Tower Bridge it is amazing and so huge! It opens up in the middle to let big ships come in who can't fit!

Our new class dance

Our class dress up day and picnic!

It was Miss K's last day for the term on Wednesday so we were allowed to dress up as anything we liked and have a party day! We also had a picnic in the afternoon and had so much yummy food! Thank you to all those parents that contributed, it was much appreciated!

Our Fantastic Scarecrows!

We created these scarecrows with Mrs Williamson last week and Bella and her Mum went and had a look at them at Mitre Ten Mega. You can vote for our scarecrows as many times as you like so get on down to Mitre Ten and start voting! They look fantastic Clever Kiwis!

Buddy Art with Room 5

This week we started our buddy art with Room 5. We chose a country competing in the Rugby World Cup and had to come up with a new flag for that country. We are collaging the flags with magazines. We will be finishing the flags next week so keep your eye out on the blog to see the finished pieces :)

On Friday, we had fun picking vegetables from our very own class garden! We have been waiting and watching our vegetables since last term and they are finally ready! We made a sandwich each with lettuce and ham and each of us tried a piece of celery, for some of us it was our very first time. What a great responsible risk!

Jahvay's Assembly Certificate

Jahvay has not been at Carlton School for long and has already recieved a certificate in assembly! Her certificate was for trying so hard to write her letters around the right way. Keep up the great work Jahvay!

Caught being healthy!

Congradulations to Eden who was caught with a healthy lunch this week and won a big bag of fruit to take home!

Duffy Theatre

We were so lucky to have the Duffy Theatre come and peform for us today. They were great! We were all laughing and thought they were such good actors. They talked to us about how important it is to read! It was great timing for the Clever Kiwis because we are off to the Wanganui District Library tomorrow!

Our fantastic assembly item!!

WOW Bianca! We love your shaker that you made at home, it is so creative and funky!! Well done for using the habit of mind 'creating, innovating and imagining.' We can't wait to try and make our own. :)

Being creative with bananas!

Our newest Clever Kiwis!

Welcome back to term 3!
I hope you clever kiwis had a fantastic holiday and are ready for a busy exciting new term. We have a lot on this term including two trips to the life education bus, a trip to the art gallery and a lot of fun activities based around the world cup.
This term we are very lucky to have THREE new class members Tahlia, Maia and Jahvay. If you see these new faces around the school please introduce yourself and make them feel welcome:)

Our greenhouses!

The Clever Kiwis have been very busy gardening this term and in week 8 we made our own greenhouses. We had to buddy up and choose what we were going to plant. There were spring onions, lettuces and brocolli. We then planted them in a plastic bottle with soil and blood and bone. We gave them a water then cellotaped the top of the bottle back on. We kept the lid on really tight. We put the greenhouses in the sun and waited to see what heppened. The sun was meant to make the greenhouse really warm and produce condensation which would feed the plant. BUT... this did not happen. The plants started to go mouldy and hairy so we cut them open and put them in our class garden!
