Out and About

We have been so busy with all our trips lately. The last trip out was to the Nelson Provincial Museum on Tuesday to see Whaea Nicky and all her hats. We learned a lot about hats with brims and peaks, hats with bells, fire fighter hats, every hat you could imagine!

We got to try some on and even drew our own.

We learned a fun dance called the Salsa that Carmen Miranda danced with fruit on her hat, and we heard a story about a man whose hats were stolen by some monkeys! He sold hats for a living and kept them all on his head and the monkeys stole them while he was sleeping. Lucky he got them back! Check out Bailey pretending to be the man with the hats.

We really had a lot of fun. Thanks Whaea Nicky!

This week Rhys read a book called, "A Puzzle for Scruffy".

We thought it would be a good idea for him to make a puzzle for Room 5. So he did. Matariki, May May, Bailey, and Anup helped him and then we all gave the puzzle a go. It was so good we even shared it at our Syndicate Assembly and all the five year olds had a turn.

We had to go through the hoop....

Over the blocks.....

Up the see-saw.... and down the see-saw.

We had a lot of fun. A big thanks to our big helpers from Room 11, Reuben, Jade, Ben, and Steven.

We also made a book called "A Puzzle for Room 5". Come and look for it in our library.
