Today Miss Caldwell bought in her 3 year old dog named Paddy. Paddy is a Beagle. Miss Caldwell told us that Beagles are very good at smelling things and they they are used at the airports to smell out things in peoples luggage.
Paddy was a lovely wee dog he wagged his tail and sniffed around the room and he loved all the cuddles we gave him. We wrote stories about Paddy and drew some pretty cool pictures of him too. We hope he comes back again soon.
This week our shared book is called 'The Jellybean Tree'. It is written by Jill Eggleton. We are really enjoying the book because it is about a man that read every day under a tree in the hope that it would make some jellybeans for him to eat. Miss Caldwell told us that we have our own very special jellybean tree in Room 14. She said if we sit under it everyday and read to it then we might just get a surprise. We all read to under it today. Greta showed us a spot where she thinks a jellybean is growing!! Keep your fingers crossed!
This weeks star of the week was a very easy choice.
Tommy has been a real champion this week showing his classmates how to be a good friend and is always listening carefully to what he is supposed to be doing. We are very proud of Tommy and look forward to him leading the class next week.
Today we went to a HUGE pond at Hunter Road to explore what was living there. We saw lots of different things and had lots of fun getting wet! We had a great groups of parents that came with us we especially loved that Grace's dad Sean bought a big microscope to help us look closer at the bugs we found.
We had such a good time, but are glad to be drying off back at school.
