Shake Out

Today at 9.26 we took part in the Shake Out earthquake drill with the rest of NZ.

Afterwards we had a discussion about how earthquakes worked, and lots of what if questions like ...What if you are in the toilet?  What if you are in the library? What if mum is in labour having a baby?

Miss Lowans tried her best to answer these questions so that we were not worried.

Louis Braille By Margaret Davidson

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

Miss Lowans has just read us the story of Louis Braille, the blind boy who invented the raised dot system so that books could be read by blind people.
LT liked this story because he liked learning about a famous person.  KD liked the story because she liked learning about blindness and braille.  JWM liked it because he liked hearing about how Louis Braille helped others.  DL - the book has the raised alphabet on the back so it makes the book interesting.  RVDM - learnt that blind people can learn to do things to like the piano.  EW liked how it told Louis Braille's story from birth to death.

Father's Day Poems

Dear Dad

I love him

When he goes on the trampoline with me

When he tickles me

When he talks to me about my sister and brother to tell me how they are doing

When he comes and sees me

When he taught me how to ride a bike

When he laughs at silly things

When he plays with my brother and his cars 

I love you

Dear: Dad

My Dad

I love him

SSK

I love him when

He plays computer with me

How when I’m sad he comes to cheer me up

 How sometimes I’m stuck with homework he comes to help me

When takes me to new places and old

When he buys me food like fish and chips as a treat

When he encourages me

How when I need someone by me he’s there

When I do something wrong he shows me the way

If I’m hurt he makes me better

I love my Dad.

RDVM

I love him

When he goes out for lunch with me.

When he plays sports with me.

When he makes me laugh.

When he teaches me things like how to ride my bike do maths and many other things.

When he plays play station with me.

I love my dad!!!
