Mystery Envelope

 Today in class we played a game where someone picks a envelope and looks at what is in side. Then everyone else has to guess what is inside it. The person who knows can only say yes or no. We thought we could play this game online. So Mrs Robertson has placed something in the envelope below and we can all guess what it might be. Place your answer on the wall wisher and Mrs Robertson will say yes or know.

Out and about in Wanganui

Today we went out and about in Wanganui with Room 15. We first went to virginia lake. We walked around the lake, and visited the avairy.


After we finished at the lake we headed of to Kowhai Park. At the park we had morning tea, then we had a play. We had a lot of fun, between sliding down the dinosaur, swinging on the octopus arms, riding moas, charging around the castle, sailing on the pirate ship and conquering the mountain.

When then jumped on the bus and headed up to Bastia Hill Tower. We all had to draw the tower.

We then went up to Queens park. While we were here Mrs Robertson read us 'Charlotte and the Lion'. We then we had a look at the 'hand span' and rolled down the big hill.

We then walked down to Moutoa Gardens. We looked at the Whanganui war memorial. We saw the floral reef that Carlton School Lay at the Anzac services. We then walked across the road to the river boat center and had a look at the old river boat. Then we went to the tram station and saw the tram that has been restored and a tram that they are about to restore.

Talk to your child about our day out. Find out what they enjoyed the most about our day out.

Farewell
