Old McDonald came to school

We were very lucky to have a group of travelling performers come to visit Picton School.

The children from Waikawa Bay School, Koromiko School and St Joseph's School came to our hall to watch the production of 'Old McDonald's Farm'.

Here is Callum's recount of the show:

Old Mc Donald had been searching and searching for his dog Jip.

We could see him but Old McDonald couldn't find him.

Finally they found each other and Jip gave Old McDonald a big hug!

It was very dry at Old McDonald's farm. There had been no rain for a long time. The news people (below) forecast the weather and said that today there would be no rain again at Old McDonald's farm. Oh dear!

Farmer Jane wanted Old McDonald's farm. She had a big strong dog called Cyber.

Cyber got the Bionic Bouncing Bunny so that Farmer Jane could take over Old McDonald's Farm

Chip went and spoke to the cows to see if they could help.

They did help! They took Chip to a warehouse where there was a Bionic Bouncing Bunny Catcher......just what Chip needed!

After they caught the Bionic Bouncing Bunny, Farmer Jane was defeated and had to leave with Cyber.

Then!!!!! It rained at Old Mc Donald's Farm.

Descriptive Writing

We have been learning to write descriptions about 'Our Place by the Sea'.

We are describing different types of living things which live in the sea, using lots of adjectives.

Our trip to the Foreshore

As part of our term 2 topic - Our Place by the Sea - we went on an excursion to the Foreshore.

The children from room 6 and 8 came with us and we were lucky to have lots of help from Mum's and Dad's too.

We left school in the morning and walked in groups to Shelly Beach.

When we got there, Mrs Holdaway put a stick in the sand so we could see how far the tide went out while we were there.

We went looking around for some rockpools and we found some sea anemones that we could touch......(carefully of course).

We collected all sorts of interesting things. Some of us even made necklaces from shells we found.

We made sandcastles, made rock sculptures and had lots of fun.
