Old MacDonald had a farm

Written by Rebecca.

Today we went to a show. It was called Old MacDonald had a farm. The main character was MacDonald's sheep dog. The person who was the evil character was Farmer Jane. She made it so that it wouldn't rain on Old MacDonald's farm and she made an electronic bunny to make heaps of holes in the farm. She wanted MacDonald's farm so that people would sing about Farmer Jane.

My favourite part was when Jip the sheepdog won the Dunedin Sheepdog trials.

District 12 News

Room 12 have started their own news programme. Mrs Ohlrich did this last year with Room 11 children and it was such a success for helping the class to learn how to speak more clearly and with expression that we are doing it again this year. We will hope to make an episode every 2 weeks.

This week Reading group 3 - 'The big birds' have made the show. It is a little quite at first but the volume improves as we learn how to use the microphone.

Lessons with Mrs Yeoman

Each Friday we have been going to Georgies for Taha Maori lessons with Mrs Yeoman. This is us singing a song.

Can you guess?

Can you guess what fun activity these children are doing?

Fanta the Fish

Sadly Fanta, one of our class fish, died on Friday. It was a little sad but luckily we still have Sprite to keep us happy.

We will have to try much harder to keep the fish very healthy with clean water and food.
