Recorder with Maestro Matheson
On Thursday Nile room was learning how to play the recorder with MAESTRO MATHESON !!!
He ( mr Matheson ) brings them in a boiling hot bucket so we did not get another people's germs.
The production
On Wednesday night the all of the school was in the play. Marlin was the kiwi that could fly. I am in charge of props. Nothing happens unless I finish doing my job.
Last night I was really nervous when I went on the stage bow at the end. I thought I might faint. It was scary.
Once during the performance when I was bringing in the trees one of the trees hit the microphones that are suspended from a wire above the stage.
They swung back and forth for AGES... and the noise of the leaves hitting the mic was BAD!
The audience cracked up with laughter. I felt funny like a comedian.

Pink Soup!!!
We made soup with veggies we grew in our garden!
It was easy and yummy too!
It had leeks, potatoes, broccoli, spinach, water, oil and parsley.
It was pink because of the beetroot!
Our whole class had some, even Quentin and he usually doesn't like beetroot!

Planes are out!
We put the planes out as it is Spring. We are studying flight this term. Every year in Spring we put some wooden sculptures in the daffodils outside our school. It is a tradition.
The boys are doing some filming for our production which is coming up soon. Don't worry, a teacher is out there too.

We also brought home some individual trophies for team spirit (Sapphire and Dylan) and also Creative and Strategical Play (Dylan - he stood out to the majority of the camp staff for his determination, dedication and skill, especially in archery, shooting and volleyball, and was selected for this individual recognition).
We were very tired when we got back but we LOVE camp.

Basil's school visit.
Today I brought by cat Basil to school.
He is only a kitten but is very playful at times. When I brought him into the classroom he was quite shy because it was all new to him. Everybody loved him!! He was left at the S.P.C.A unwanted, and that's hard to believe but know one wanted him at his old home. When we adopted him he could fit into the palm of my mums hand! We got Basil because our old cat Lily died. Lily was about 15 - 16 years old so she had a nice long life. Basil might come back next term when he is bigger.
I love cats and I really love my cat, and Nile loves my cat too!!!
