R5's Trip to the Museum

Room 5 had an awesome day at the Auckland Museum. There were so many exciting things to do. We particularly enjoyed learning about natural disasters in the education room and going into the special volcano room. We learnt all about how to prepare for a natural disaster in Auckland. Wally had a great day, too.

Talking to Room 10 at TPS!

Today we talked to Room 10 at Tamaki Primary School using FaceTime. They wanted to see how their friend Wally the giraffe was doing and we wanted to check out their classroom/school environment. Here is a short clip of the highlights.

The Ladybugs reading group had a go at making Popplets today. They used the new information they learnt from reading the book Wood Storks.

Writing to Wally

When Wally first arrived, we all wrote letters to him so that he could get to know us a bit better. We were really excited when we came into school the next day and Wally had written a letter back to us. 

Here is Rook reading his letter to Wally.

We Found Wally!

Yesterday something very exciting happened in Room 5, we found a lost giraffe named Wally! Our friends in Room 10 at Tamaki Primary School have been looking everywhere for him. Wally has been travelling all over the world and he has finally arrived back in Auckland. We asked Room 10 if he could stay with us for a little while.
