butterfly excitement

After getting 2 butterflies on Thursday, we were lucky on Friday to have 7 "hatch" on Friday and we got to see several of them. No we didn't spend all day watching them - we did do some work too.

Hockey

Today we had our 2nd session of hockey. We learnt how to dribble last week and today we were practicing pushing the ball. At the end of our session, Tane got to put on the goalie gear and we were able to push the ball to him in the goal. He was VERY good at stopping it.

Caterpillar Day

What an exciting day we had....we got to watch 4 caterpillars turn into chrysalis between playtime and lunch and then several more changed this afternoon. We decided they do a caterpillar dance as they twist and wriggle a lot. Just on bell time one stuck to the book shelf changed. Mrs Cooper had to rescue some who were on leaves being eaten by other caterpillars. They are attached with cellotape onto some string.

Thank you Timaru Rotary Clubs

Today all the Year 4's received a dictionary. These have been provided for by Timaru Rotary Clubs. It was good to use them in the classroom today. We found lots of words we needed when we were writing.

Caterpillars

Our caterpillars continue to eat and GROW. Some of us cannot believe how fast they have grown.

Swimming

We went swimming today and made waves to walk and swim through. It was AWESOME!
