What an exciting week and especially the end to the week with the police helicopter visiting Owairaka, and landing in our school field. Somehow the weather was good enough, and what a fantastic opportunity to watch it land, take off and go and have a close-up look.
Earlier in the week we read Dharma the Llama, and Sereen and Aurora were very proud of their creation.
This Term we have also started a dance programme Footsteps, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed following along and learning some new dance moves.
We also have added having toast to our Discovery time with the kids adding the butter and jam to the toast. Lovely on a cold autumn morning.
This week is Road Safety Week! Here are some ways we can be road safety superheroes:
always use the school crossing
walk, bike or scooter to and from school
scooter at a safe speed and keep a look out for cars going in and out of driveways
wear a helmet when you are on your bike or scooter
be SAFE in cars - Seatbelts Are For Everyone!
Small things make a big difference - stay safe Owairaka!

We had a fun and busy start to the term. We have a Science focus for Term 2 and Room 14 will be looking at the Material World.
Room 14 joined up with Room 23 to do two Science experiments. The first one we had cabbage juice and we added baking soda and then vinegar alternatively and watched the colour change. In the second experiment we made ice-cream, watching milk change into solid by shaking it with ice.
