20 Things we should say more often.... from the Kid President :)

 

Creating Masks!!

Some of our masks are finished!! We have worked so hard to design and create them. The best part is that each one is different from the next!!! 

WE GOT MAIL!!!!

We have been writing emails back and forth to our Canadian friends in Grade Six at Ecole Millageville North (Ecole means school in French!) They live in a city called Saint John in a province called New Brunswick! Miss Dobbin showed us on the map where it was. They have 100,000 people in that city. We have about 30,000 in Ashburton.

 

Today we got our letters and we were so excited!! We are finding out a LOT about Canada and we are learning about our own country too! Did you know we have 4.4 MILLION sheep in NZ and there only only 10,000 in Canada (or less!). They celebrate Christmas in the WINTER which is so weird we decided. They just had a day off school to celebrate Remembrance Day and it is kind of like our Anzac day. To remember all of the men and women who fought and served in war.

 

Our friends are from a Grade 6 class and they speak French all the time at school. They think some of our names are really different but we think theirs are weird too. NExt week we are going to send videos back and forth so we can talk to them face to face!!!(sort of)

Emailing our pals in Canada!!

This term we are learning how to write proper emails. Miss Dobbin has us buddies up with a student in New Brunswick, Canada! We wrote our first introduction emails this week!:) 

FEAR FACTOR...

On Thursday we did the most gruesome, yuck and disgusting fear factor...                                                   

I thought my teacher would put in counters, plastic beans and water but I totally underestimated her.

She put in brown sugar for me but I thought it was sand. The whole class was yelling icky so I didn’t want to do it that much but I did it anyway.

I went first in my group. I sniffed mine it was an unpleasant smell. When I first put my hand in the cup I wasn’t scared at alI! (ok, maybe a tinsy winsy bit)

I dodged a bullet getting brown sugar though... unlike my unlucky friend who got squashed kiwi fruit!

It was lots of awesome fun but it was also yuck and just wrong!
