Peter and the Wolf

Yesterday Room 1 went to the Theatre Royal to watch Peter and the Wolf. It was so cool because we also got to watch some ballrinas dance to some music.
Did you know that the Theatre Royal is the oldest wooding building in the southern hemisphere and it has been recently been renovated.There have been many shows there since it opened back in 1878. 1000 out of the population of 6000 Nelsonians crammed in the Theatre Royal on the opening night to watch the first show. Then the girl who was talking asked if it was anyone's birthday that day and it was Anna's. So she got to go up and be made up to look like a ballerina. Then Sam and Dan got to get their eyebrows painted black with a beard and a moustache. They looked so funny. Peter was our secretary's daughter. She let Flynn wear her hat after.

Room 1 working hard

Room 1 used the fishbone graphic organiser to categorise their ideas on Waste during our Sustainability unit.

Room 1 working hard

Our buddy class - Room 7

Every day after morning tea some children in room 1 go and help room 7 with their reading and spelling. We also try to make spelling and reading fun for them by making up games. The number of children in room 7 is rising dramatically so more of our class get to miss 5 minutes of school work! Sometimes we organise games with room 7 and we also play with them during morning tea and lunch.
