Friday Fun

We had a wonderful day on Friday. We spent time creating a range of things around our Open Minded Explorer theme and our trip to Orana Park. 

Then Mrs S and Mrs G took us on an 'outing' to visit the school pool. It was such a hot day it was a relief to be able to dip our toys into the cool water. 

Orana Park Trip

What a fantastic day Friday was. We were so impressed with the smiles, listening, thinking and involvement everyone had as we travelled around Orana Park and learnt about animals and how we can help to change their lives.

Thanks to all our wonderful parents who came along and supported the children in their learning.

This Week's Writing Task

Walt: write a recount using Book Creator.

We are all working on writing recounts about Show Weekend. We are learning how to do it using Book Creator. Some of us are sharing them on our own blogs and some of them are shared here.

We hope you enjoy reading them.

A pet filled week

Show Week was a busy week at YMS.

We had a visit from the SPCA to talk to us about animal care. They brought a few pets along for us to pet, it was a wonderful experience.

Wednesday was Pet Day and we got to create veggie sculptures and sand saucers. We brought our pets along and then we participated in Hobby Horse racing and Agri-Sports. What a fun day. 

Here are some photos taken over the two days. Enjoy!
