Blackboard writing...

Have you seen the blackboard gallery outside our school hall?  

Each term every class gets to write on the blackboards and in week 10 it was Room 11's turn!  

The theme in Term 1: "Western Heights is..."

We wrote our thoughts on the blackboards.

 Please come and check out what we have written!

Transformation

We have been learning about what plants need to survive.  

This is what we discussed on Friday...

 "Plants drink water through their stems." Erazmus

"They suck up the water like a straw!"  Cheyanne

Mrs Applegate asked us, "what would happen if we changed the colour of the water?" 

 Room 11 predicted that if we changed the colour of the water, then the flowers would drink up the colours and change themselves! 

 Over the weekend the flowers drank up the colours and DID change!  Check this out! 

Farewell to Teegan and Luke!

Shared lunch - this Friday the 4th of April! 

This Friday we will be saying farewell to Teegan and Luke, as they are moving to Matamata with their family.  

We would like to have a special shared lunch for them on Friday. 

 Please bring a plate of finger food on Friday to share with the class.  

You will still need your morning tea as usual.  Thank you!  

Love to Learn to Lead

Today Mr Maindonald came into Room 11 to give everyone a special bracelet!

The bracelet says "Love to Learn to Lead" and is a great reminder that we all belong to the Western Heights family.

Mr Maindonald gave each of us a bracelet and welcomed us into the Western Heights family.  The bracelet represents our unity as a school.  

Now we all have bracelets and these are something that we all have in common.

Thank you Mr Maindonald!  We love them!

Butterfly Stories

Room 11 Recounts and Butterfly Life Cycle.

We Are Learning To: Use linking words in our writing (first, next, then, finally etc).

On Tuesday Room 11 went to the butterfly garden and we went for a run around the bush.  After we had a run around we had some morning tea.  Next we played on the little park.  After that we saw a cat.  At last we went back to school and we played on the playground.

First the butterfly lays eggs.  Next it is a caterpillar.  Then it eats leaves.  After it finds a leaf then it finds a branch and turns into a chrysalis.  After ten days it is a beautiful butterfly.

On Tuesday Room 11 went to the butterfly garden and I saw butterflies in the butterfly house.  First we had morning tea and then we went into the butterfly house.  It was fantastic.  After we went for a treasure hunt and that made it more fantastic.

First the butterfly lays eggs on a leaf.  Next a caterpillar comes out.  Then it eats the leaves.  Then the chrysalis hatches into a butterfly.
