Week 4 - waffles and museum

Despite having an unexpected day off on Wednesday, due to the flooding, we still managed to squeeze a lot of fun and learning into Week 4.

Stand out highlights were definitely our cooking session and our weekly outing.

For cooking we made choc chip waffles with cream (letter of the week was Cc and blend of the week was Cr so it tied in nicely with that).  Everyone helped to measure, mix, beat and cook.  The end result was DELICIOUS!









 On Fridays we are fortunate to be able to hire a van from North Canterbury Minibus Charitable Trust so we can go on outings.  This week we went to the Canterbury Museum and then had a picnic lunch in the Botanic Gardens - what a great way to end the week! Heaps of photos for you to enjoy...

Sophie-Marie checked out the Adelie penguins

Kieran looks a bit worried about Kereama's driving skills!

Everyone took turns beautifully on the ski-doo

Check out the Earth! We have been learning a lot about planets during our space topic. 

We even got to touch a real meteorite - which we have learned is a space rock. Wow - this rock has been in space!!

Dinosaurs were a highlight too.

Kieran made a new friend.

Not quite a cheetah, but Sophie-Marie was very pleased to see a Jaguar instead

Kereama did some digging for fossils.

Lake enjoyed exploring the drawers of bugs and butterflies

Our hands looked so big under the microscope!

The museum man told us some facts about the tarantulas - Liz and Kereama didn't get too close!

Then it was lunchtime - the ground was too damp but we found this great seat that went right around a tree!






Thanks for visiting our blog again - we hope you enjoy seeing some of the things we get up to in Rm22. By the way, it was mufti day at Ashgrove on Friday, that's why we aren't in our uniform!
