OUR CLASS MASCOT
Meet the Korimako, the New Zealand Bellbird. This is our class mascot for this year. The young leaders chose us the Bellbird after visiting Zealandia Sanctury in Wellington. Next Wednesday is a special assembly where we can share our facts we have found out about the Bellbird. You can also dress up in the colours of the Bellbird, or get creative with a costume. Don't forget to bring a gold coin donation to help Zealandia.

Emperor penguin makes rare Kapiti Coast visit!
Wow. An Emperor penguin has turned up in New Zealand at Peka Peka Beach on the Kapiti Coast. Emperor penguins usually live in Antarctica. What is it doing here? This is only the second Emperor penguin that has ever been found on New Zealand shores. The last one was in Southland in 1967. We might make this our reading tomorrow.What can you find out?

The First Happy Homework Task is up!
Click the happy homework tab above and see what your first fun task is. I can't wait to see them. Remember these are optional.
1000 Hits Already
Wahooooooo 1000 Hits Already. Look at the map.... maybe we might become world famous! Chuffed with that.
Hokey Pokey Fun!
There were no plates left, so Charlotte got to eat from the box. She got the best deal and looked like the cat who got the cream!
Cody Stirs the Hokey Pokey. You have to be careful it doesn't burn or boil too hard. Hot sugar is very dangerous.... we chose Cody because he is so sensible and reliable... what a great job he did too.
Here it comes. The baking soda made it puff up and turned the golden syrup and sugar into puffy hokey pokey.

Get up Early for the Lunar Eclipse
Early risers are in for a treat tomorrow morning as the first of 2011's two full lunar eclipses becomes visible over New Zealand.
A total lunar eclipse happens when the moon moves through the long shadow cast by the Earth and is blocked from the sunlight that illuminates it.
The eclipse will be visible between 6.20 and 7.20am, and is safe to watch with the naked eye.
The next full eclipse will not occur until December 10 this year.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
A group of four lucky students visited the SPCA to deliver the cat food. The SPCA staff were BLOWN away by the generosity of our donation. They thought we were bringing a bag full, not hundereds of cans! We saw some bald dogs called Chinese Crested dogs, kittens galore, adult smoochy cats, friendly dogs, chickens and rabbits. Mrs Rankin had to be stopped from trying to give them all a home!
