Watching the New Zealand Navy in action

Mr Lyle Cairns and his friends from the navy came to talk to us about what they do at the navy.

They train and do lots of exercise to keep fit. They help keep our country safe. We did sit ups, and push ups. We enjoyed  ourselves.

Learning about a soldier

This week we are learning about a soldier, what he does and what he is wearing. We chose a student from our class to draw around him and make a picture of a soldier.

Our first day having milk

This week was our first week of having anchor milk and fruit. We enjoyed drinking the milk and eating the fruit after lunch. Milk and fruit give us lots of energy. This helps us to be alert and focused.

Discussing our class treaty

Today, we discussed our classroom treaty to help us improve our learning. Some of the things we discussed with our partners include

• sit still on the mat so we can listen and think
• work quietly and stop quickly when asked
• wait for your turn to speak
• be kind to each other
• share ideas with others and focus on the learning
