Visiting Harold and the Life Education Bus
Today we were lucky enough to visit Harold and Paula on the Life Education Bus. We will have two visits to the bus and we are learning about how to be a good friend with them. We had lots of fun today and learnt lots of new songs.
Look what happened on Friday
It was a very exciting day in Room 20 on Friday. Brooke joined Room 20 and two of our chrysalis hatched. Unfortunately Mrs Schimanski wasn't at school that day but Ms Hobson took lots of fantastic photos for us.

Fun day at Waikanae Pools
Today was the day we have been really looking forward to in Room 20 - our fun day at the Waikanae Pools. We got to catch the bus down to the Pools and had lots of fun splashing in the pools with our friends.
Check our your child's seesaw page for photos of them in the pool.

Have you filled a bucket today?
We shared this story in Room 20 today and we thought about what we can do to make our classroom a happy place. This is the list we came up with:
Give cuddles but remember to ask first
Smile
Say good things e.g. “I like your…”
Share eg an umbrella when its raining
Kind words, kind hands
Be nice to each other
Say sorry if we forget to be a bucket filler
Use nice manners
Take turns
Help others
Be a good friend
You may like to share the story at home too:
We also enjoy this song:
Remember to check your child's seesaw page to read their amazing stories about how they can fill other peoples buckets.

Look at our caterpillars now
There was high excitement in our classroom last week because our caterpillars had all turned into the "J" shape. As we kept checking in on them during the day they all turned into a chrysalis. Dita even spotted it as it was changing so we could watch as it changed into the green chrysalis and the caterpillar skin fell off. We had four but unfortunately one fell off the plant so now we have 3. We will keep you updated with any more progress!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Room 20
We were very excited this morning to find that our little baby caterpillar that Room 21 gave us had been eating lots of leaves over the long weekend and is growing. Can you find it in the photo?? You have to look very closely!
We have also been busy creating our own caterpillar art which is now on display in our classroom.

I is for...
We have been learning about the letter Ii this week. We had lots of fun letter i activities on Fun Friday. First, we had a competition to see who could hold their piece of ice for the longest.
Then we got to eat some ice! It was cold and crunchy.
As a special treat because we have been working so hard Mrs Schimanski bought everyone an ice-block. YAY!
