Down the back of the chair

We have been reading Margaret Mahy's poem this week; down the back of the chair. We have rewritten some of the lines to make our own poem. Here are some of them for you to read.

Hovercrafts

Term 3 topic

Goodness we started the term with our new topic AIR MOVEMENT. Hopefully children have told you some of the cool things we have been up to in class. So far, we have let off rockets, made helicopters, paper planes, jet fliers and today we made a hovercraft.  Have a look at our wonderful photos.

It's so exciting tomorrow because the Olympics begin in London AND we can wear mufti!!!!! Remember your gold coin and dress up as your favourite athlete.
