Making Putiputi as a Thank you

Room Three decided to acknowledge the parents who helped us on our Marae visit by making a Putiputi (harakeke flowers). The children also wrote messages to our parents and grandparents to show their appreciation.

Hip Hop Leaves

Zooming and speeding,

Twirling and swirling, 
Swooping and looping,
Tumbling and pouncing,
Jumping and bouncing,
Racing and rolling,
Dancing and spinning,
Flying and flapping, 
Crashing and bumping,
Blowing and floating,
Sitting in a big pile.

Big bubbles

Cody had a very busy weekend making this very clever bubble wand. We tried it today but it wasn't very successful. We decided it was probably too windy. Cody has added some glycerine to his bubble mixture to see if it will make a difference tomorrow.
