Today Room's 1,2 and 3 became explorers. We set off to find out what was "Beyond the Fence" as a language experience that could be used in our writing programme.
We ran up the big hill and saw lots of amazing things: the smoke billowing from the Port hills, the bowling club lawns, the tall cabbage trees and the huge pine trees.
We looked at the sparkling pond and saw: toitoi, flax, bullrushes and pond weed. We sat at the waters edge and watched the ducks compete with the eels for the food we threw to them.
The naughty wind took Fionn's hat into the pond and we laughed as it floated into the distance, finally sinking to be with the eels.
Finally we ran around the pond as part of our daily fitness routine. Back in class we had lots to talk about and each class made up a story to recount the adventure. In the words of Room 1 " We made up a real story!".
Watch this space for our stories!
