Fun with Mo Willems

We have been reading Mo Willems' stories this week and having a great time celebrating his books!  Here is a wonderful website that your child may wish to visit...

A Special Performance

Today Team Toru went into the hall with the rest of Team 2 and 3.  We were invited to watch the Orchestra, the Choir and the Ukelele groups perform, led by Mrs Pearse.  Team Toru were super excited to watch these amazing performers.  When we got back to class we talked about all of the instruments we were going to play when we got a little older!
Well done to all of the performers and Mrs Pearse today.  YOU GUYS ROCKED!

Mask Story

Last week the Cat in the Hat's Reading Group read a story about making clay faces.  We decided that we would have a go at this activity, but use play dough instead... check out our wonderful faces that we made :-)

Poem of the Week

Today we read a poem about socks.  We love this poem!  We illustrated it and put it in our Poetry Books to share with our whanau over the weekend.
Here is Jade's wonderful illustrations!

Cape Kidnappers

We had the best time at Cape Kidnappers today.  Everyone had a wonderful adventure.  We loved sitting on the trailers behind the tractor, going into the sea and going over rocks.  Walking up to the gannets was hard work, but once we got there, we saw lots of beautiful gannets nesting.  They are huge birds :-)  Team Toru will never forget this exciting adventure!

Thank you so so much to all of those wonderful whanau that came along with us today and made our time so special!
You are AWESOME!!!!
