Our Trip to the Library

On Wednesday the 17th of May I had to be at school before eight forty five! Because Room 9 were going to the South Christchurch Library. At 8:50am we were on the bus with our parent helpers; Tina, Anna, Jo, Gwynneth, Siobhan and Emma.

When we got to the library. We went down a corridor to a large room where we meet a lady named Audrey. She gave us some iPads. When we opened them up we were on an app called Neopad, where we learnt about Matariki.

We learnt that there are nine not seven stars and there are three water stars. After all that we made stars out of string.

At the end we said goodbye to Audrey, thanked our parent helpers and hopped on the bus back to school.

The Christchurch South Library

On Wednesday the 17th of May I went to the Christchurch South Library, first we had to be at school by 8:45am. I got there at 8:24 exactly. We left school at 8:50am, room 9 got to sit on the bus, I sat next to Rubi-Lee. Xander went with his mum. There were six parent helpers; Tina, Anna, Gwynneth, Emma, Jo and Siobhan. 

We sat in the learning centre and learned about Matariki, the lady that taught us was called Audrey. She gave us iPads to watch a slide show and we got to make water stars in the slideshow, they all popped up on the big board.

After that we had to do a quiz about Matariki, we learned that there are actually nine stars because two of them hide behind a big shiny one. Then we made water stars out of cardboard, scissors and string. 

On the way back I sat with Rubi-Lee again and the class was singing a song really loudly. Mrs Forrest told us off because the bus driver was getting distracted. 

I enjoyed the rest of the day.
