Guide Dogs

After yesterdays visit from Leila we decided to research some more information about guide dogs.
We identified some key ideas and created a pic collage sharing our new learning... 

Leila

Yesterday we had a very special visitor come visit us in Room 12. Noah's mum bought their puppy Leila into class for us to meet. Leila is a very special dog because she is training to be a guide dog. 
Thank you so much Mrs Pin for taking time out of your day to bring Leila into meet us and for teaching us about guide dogs. We loved meeting Leila and thought she was just wonderful!

Koru Art

Have a look at our amazing koru designs!
For this unit we learnt about warm and cool colours and  created a contrast between our koru and our background. We also learnt how to blend colours. 
We had lots of fun creating these korus and are so proud of how they turned out. 

Thank you Letters

We have been learning how to write a letter. 
Last week we did a wonderful job writing thank you letters to our parent helpers that came with us to the museum. 
We used the correct letter format and shared some of our favourite museum experiences.  
Here are a few of our lovely letters...
