I for ice cream

This week we have been learning about the letter i. We have read a fabulous big book called "The Giant's ice cream" by Jill Eggleton. Today we made a poem from part of the story and had ice creams.

Here are our stories about today:

I liked the boats because they were the coolest. That's why I went to Waitangi beach.

By Karcceya

They were doing the haka and it was fun to watch. 

By Phoenix

I saw the largest waka boat first.

By Steven R

I liked the boats come in and I liked it and I enjoyed it and I saw many different kinds of boats.

Opening our big classroom doors.

Because the weather has been so lovely and warm, we decided to open up our big doors. We just needed a bit or C.R.C and help from Ricardo our caretaker. 
Pam read some of our students a story on the bean bags.
