The fog was like a big fluffy blanket.        The  fog   was   like   a   magic   blanket.    The fog was like magic world.

Hannah's lamb came to school yesterday.
The lamb has a cute face.  It had furry legs, as furry as a grizzly bear.  She had bumpy hooves at the end of her long legs and pointy little toes.

I loved it when she wagged her "waggily" tail.

Spring has sprung in the Junior Room

Hannah's lamb came to visit and left us some small "raisins".
Well at least it wasn't the puddle it left in Room 2!
We loved touching it, and we watched Trudi feed it.
It wagged its tail while it was drinking.
Thanks for bringing your lamb, Hannah.

Then we all made lambs with lots of real wool and a bucketload of PVA glue.

Room 1 has been very busy of late trying to blow the biggest bubbles we can.  

If you have a bubble blower at home, try this mix.  We reckon it's the best.
8 cups of hot water
2 cups of detergent
2 tablespoons of baking powder (not baking soda)
2 tablespoons of glycerine (available at the chemist)

 Matariki Magic at Poukawa School
An awesome night at our school celebrating the Maori New Year.

Dad, Ayden and I went to the Matariki Magic night at our school.

When we were driving home, 

we saw a big gleaming bright moon.

Pop! Pop! Pop!  Room 1 made popcorn the other day.  This is what Montana and Olive wrote about it.

Pop! Pop! Pop!  goes the popcorn.  

You put it in the microwave to make it cook. 

 put it on for 5 minutes.  It smelt all buttery.  

It looks like a big bunch of snowflakes.

Mmmmm popcorn!

I had some popcorn.

It tasted like butter.

I liked it.  It looked like curly hair.

My taste buds were tingling.

Some of our Room 1 lads were at this breakfast, held last week.
