We applied our new knowledge of face proportions to draw our own self-portraits.
They look fabulous on the back wall of our room.

Piha Camp 2016
Room 1 have done some wondering about our Piha Camp on Thursday and Friday this week.
I wonder ...
what the lifeguards will teach us.
what water activities we will play.
if people will fall asleep on the bus back to school.
what the waves are going to look like.
how the sand got black at Piha.
what my fish and chips will taste like.
if it will rain.
how salty the water will be.
if someone will snore when we are asleep.
if I will sink in the water.
how bumpy the bus ride is.
what time we are going to go to sleep.
if the Teachers will miss their beds.
who will wake up first.
if I will talk on the bus quietly.
if the waves will be strong.
what the Medical Room looks like.
if the water is going to be cold.
if we will see a live rescue.
if the bus trip will be bumpy or smooth.
if the sand will be hot or cold.
We are looking forward to seeing if our wondering is what really happens!
Mrs Poole is very sure that the wondering ... if the Teachers will miss their beds, is what really happens!

Writing Postcards Home
After seeing the postcards we made displayed in Room 1 about our summer holiday, Mrs Park (Andrew's mum) kindly gave Room 1 a pile of real postcards.
Room 1 decided to write to ourselves and have them posted to our home address.
Some students in Room 1 have never received a letter or postcard, so we are looking forward to it arriving in our letterbox. Did you know, that one postcard costs 80 cents to send?
We discussed and found out what happens to letters and postcards when we put them through the slot in the mailbox and where mailboxes can be found.
We are wondering who is going to receive their postcard first.

Gong Xi Fa Cai (Mandarin) or Gong Hey Fat Choy (Cantonese)
Today we meet with our buddy class to make Chinese lanterns to celebrate Chinese New Year. We all had lots of fun helping each other and learning how to say Happy New Year in Mandarin and Cantonese!
