Ronald McDonald Visits Victory

Friday before last we had a visit from a rather interesting clown!

Ronald MacDonald came to talk to us about road safety. He was very tall with huge red shoes! He lost his red and white sock stripey sock and had come to Victory Primary School to look for it. We learned all about being sensible on the footpath, stopping and taking care by sneaky driveways, and to Stop, Look, and Listen before we cross the road.

We learned that if we can, it's best to cross at a pedestrian crossing but you still have to be careful as cars don't always stop! Thanks Ronald.

The term is zooming by and the date of our movie premiere is coming up fast. Do take the time to fill in the form if you are planning on attending. It will help us estimate numbers for each sitting.

We have a new friend in Room 5. Duh Duh started on Friday and is already fitting in very well. We can see you are a big school girl now Duh Duh! Welcome to you and your family.

Have a happy and safe week everybody!

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.
