If you have some time for blogging...

If you love to read picture books then this site might be one for you. It's always such a pleasure to discover a new source of inspiration.

The other site that is worth keeping an eye on is the City Libraries Christchurch Kids Blog. You might even be able to get a book review published there.

Little Bird

Yesterday Yuki and Cody brought their little silver eye to school. He had something to eat and then tucked his head under his wing for a sleep. Cody wrote "Little Bird" for us on the white board in Japanese.

Summertime Reading Club

Yes folks it's back again this year... the Summertime Reading Club at the Christchurch City Libraries.
There are weekly book prizes and even an iPod touch to be won.

If you are not confident using a computer, a librarian will help you register when you call into the library.

Happy Reading!

Brydie's Summertime Riddle

My first is in ball but not in racquet
My second isn't in coat but is in jacket
My third is in float and isn't in sink
My fourth is in cup and not in drink
My fifth is in shade but not in sun

When we go here we have lots of fun.

Where am I?

Thanks Brydie for this wonderful riddle.

Please leave us a comment with your answer.

The Second Apollo 11 Movie

Here it is folks!

Bathtime for Harry

Today Ms Douglas brought Harry into Room 16 for his bath. He was very calm and peaceful.  He has grown a lot in his 11 weeks. He was really too big for the baby bath!

Beach Ed

We have had a wonderful day at New Brighton Beach today. How fortunate we are to be able to be at the beach in such a short time from school.
The weather is not what we would have chosen, but in the spirit of the St Albans Value of FUN, everyone made the most of the day. The Life Guards were excellent and ran an interactive, informative programme.
Thanks to the parent and grandparent helpers who came with us. It was very reassuring to have so many watching eyes in the water.
Good luck to the children who are trying to come up with a riddle for the day!
The children (or teachers and parents!) won't need much rocking tonight.
