For her Learning Committment, Olive is volunteering at the Dunedin SPCA. She is a very kind girl and loves animals so she is helping the SPCA as much as she can. Olive has started her own blog to share her SPCA adventures. You can find it at http://dunedinspca2013.blogspot.co.nz/

On Friday we said goodbye to our College Teachers, Miss Cameron and Ms Stewart. They have been with us for the last two weeks and have provided the children with some fun learning activities.

Today Miss B's dog Poppy visited school. It was her third birthday today. She had great fun with all the kids and got lots of pats. Many of the children made Poppy lovely birthday cards and Olive gave Poppy a yummy bone! Everyone is looking forward to another visit from Poppy later in the year.

Today you could hear lots of cheers coming from Room 11! At the start of year we set a goal to try and reach 1,000 views on our blog by the end of the term. We did it (with two weeks to spare)!!!!

On Thursday, we celebrated 'International Day'. We dressed up in different international costumes and celebrated all the great cultures of the world. Here are some of our great costumes...

Our optional extra for homework this week was to draw a picture of your international costume and share some information about the country. Check out this great work from Olive, Oliver and Jake...

Each Thursday afternoon we have started going to the Junior side of the school and buddy reading with Mrs Chhin and Room 5. We love going to see our buddies each week.
