Maui's sun and dinosaurs

We read the book "How Maui slowed the sun" and retold it in our own words. We also drew our own versions of the sun:

On Thursday we wrote descriptions of dinosaurs. Mrs Bingham mixed all the dinosaurs up and we had to match the writing to the dinosaur. Here is one example:

Lifejackets and fireworks

The Junior Journal reading group have been reading about life jackets. They made a poster to show why they are important.

We also wrote some fireworks poems and pasted them onto fireworks pictures with lots of glitter.

Water Safety

Whaea Tracey came to talk to us about water safety. Some of the things we learned are:

• Don't swim unless an adult is watching you.
• To check if the current is too strong throw a stick into the water.
• Always wear a life jacket when you are on a boat.

Evo showed us how to put on a life jacket and make sure it fits correctly.
