The Unfinished Bike Track by Jane Manase

Today room 14 went outside to look at our unfinished bike track. While we were walking we saw wriggly worms and roots poking out of the hard dry ground. And we also saw some curves and mud hills. It was like walking in a graveyard and the trees and mud hills were ghost watching us.

Heard It In The Playground



I found a video of a flashy school in London using this poem by Alan Ahlberg. I thought it was crying out to be Pt.England-ised, so we talked as a class about what they say in the playground and I talked to some other teachers about what they hear. So using that, we re-wrote the poem.

It was fun to film but a bit tricky dealing with the Pt.England Reserve wind. I was happy that it gave everyone a chance to participate. I hope enjoy it.

Wednesday Afternoon At The Beach

Room 14 made their way to the top of our Ladder of Kindness and as a reward we spent Wednesday afternoon down at the beach.  
This is how we spent the afternoon:


Making sandcastles.




Collecting shells.


Burying Osa Talanoa



Digging.



Looking under shells.


Checking out the rock pools.

Everyone played really well with each other and it was great to see.

If we get to the top of the ladder again, we'll have another trip down there.
Let's hope we get there soon :)
