Bob Bickerton Show







We went to the Bob Bickerton Show in our hall. All of the kids from Picton School were there. Bob did a dance with Ms Boudier, she had to pretend to be Miss Boniface from the story. The children all wanted a turn to play the instruments. Some children and Mrs Adams did the noodle dance. We liked it!

Teddy Bear's Picnic


Yesterday I went to the Teddy Bear's Picnic, Marshall was there too. It was fun. I had a piece of chocolate cake, I liked the chocolate cake. I carried my teddy bear. It was fun there because I had cake, a smiley face biscuit and a piece of fairy bread. It was fun when I carried my teddy bear.

Our Hand Made Teddy Bears


We made a pattern. Ella’s Nana cut out our patterns on the material. Then Michelle sewed them for us. We stuffed them with fluff, it was hard. Mrs Saxon glued on the eyes. The kids chose the buttons and Mrs Saxon glued those on too. We took our bears to the teddy bear’s picnic. I think my bear is cool because it is my favourite bear.

The Munch Bunch








Poloma, Sam & Ari - Monday volunteers





We have a new group of senior students at our school who are the Munch Bunch. They are volunteering one lunch time per week to help cut up fruit from the children's lunch boxes. The staff had noticed that some fruit was being wasted or taken home. Now we have our new helpers, we have noticed a lot more fruit at school and the children are very enthusiastic to have their fruit prepared by the older children.

Reading in Room 8


Today Soraya read a story to the class all by herself. We were all very impressed because she has only been at school 6 weeks now. Soraya has been working really hard to learn her alphabet and words. Well done!
