PIAKO 2 WHANAU

 On Friday in Piako 2 Whanau, lots of children shared their learning.  We had puppet shows, poems, string games and stories.  The coolest part about Piako 2 Whanau this week was that our friend Ethan got everything ready and wrote the script for the children who were presenting.  The teachers were very impressed with Ethan's organisation skills.  You'll be a fabulous teacher when you grow up Ethan!

LEPRECHAUN TRAPS!

 Today is Saint Patrick's Day and a Leprechaun came to school and messed up our classroom!

We have decided to make a trap to catch him!

We have big plans for his pot of gold!

Please leave us a comment - we'd love to know what you think!

THE RUNNING RACE

"On your marks, get set ... go!"  yelled the big teacher.  Heaps of kids came with fast feet running around the concrete track ... then the kids saw a red apple house.  Mr Ant peeked out of the little window in the red apple house.

"Yikes!  Quick!  Pack up a few things and open the door and run for your life."  

The red apple house made a really big ... splash.  The ants got all splashed.  The ants went to find a new house.  They had found a new house just in time for dinner.

THE RUNNING RACE

"On your marks!  Get set!  Go!"  yelled the teacher.  The ginormous lot of kids ran and ran and ran as fast as their tiny legs could ever go.

But there was an apple in the way there were tiny ants in the green apple and Mr Ant peeked out of the tiny peeked out of the tiny window and he saw millions of kids running so Mr Ant yelled.

"Pack your stuff and run for you lives" and they got out and they were safe.

"That was hard work." said Mr Ant.

THE APPLE HOUSE

"Aaaa!" Daddy worm screamed.  There was a herd of kids racing towards his shiny red apple house.

"Run for your lives or you'll be squashed to death."

So they all packed and climbed a tree.

"We'll be safe here,"  said Mummy worm.

"...but not my apple house,"  Daddy worm cried because his apple house was being squashed.

THE RUN

On a sunny day the school went for a long run along the school field.  And when a boy came, he almost stepped on a little red apple.   He stopped right in time.  

The father ant shouted "Pack up your stuff and run for your life."  

At last they found a nice house and they were safe.

THE QUEEN'S DOGS

Pheeeeeew! 

The Queen came out grumpy!

"Come back here!"

Those sneaky, cheeky corgis had escaped and had a holiday in Hawaii.

"Yay, we're in Hawaii!"  

The corgis went down the steps.

Clip clop.  

Clip clop, went the dogs going down the brick steps.

They had fancy drinks in their paws.
