Bad luck, Duck's stuck... or is A3?

We have been reading a big book this week called 'Bad Luck Duck'.  Duck is too busy quack, quack, quacking and she falls into a mud puddle.  The sounds we are focussing on this week also just happen to be 'd' and 'qu'.  Handy that ducks go "quack"!

We thought we would see how Duck felt and write about our experience.

First we had to make mud.  Some of our Reading groups have been reading other books about animals and mud so we knew exactly what to do.


Oliver took the plunge first.  He squished and squashed the water and dirt between his toes. 


















After a few people wriggled and squelched it wasn't long before we had ooey, gooey, slippery, sloppy, thick, wet, caramel mud...






...and found ourselves ankle deep in the cold gloopy goodness



They say a picture paints a thousand words.
How do you think these A3er's feel about mud?



Quote of the day goes to Levi A
"It's disgusting, but I want to go again!"

Oh mud, glorious mud!

A Heart Like David's

Our Shanti is beautiful on the inside and out.  She has a real heart for God and just like David in the Bible she has expressed it through song.  Shanti wrote 'Everyday' all by herself using songs her church sings as a model.  

Listen to 'Everyday' by clicking play on the video below, it’s just AWESOME!  
Such a talent!


A3 hope to be performing Shanti's song at our Aroha Team Assembly for class sharing on Monday 16th March, Week 7 (we’re a bit excited).

Wonderful William our Kingdom Kid



 Congratulations to our 
'Wonderful William'

Here he is receiving his 
Kingdom Kid Award 
at our Whole School Assembly.


William's certificate said:

"William knows God made us all to be like a family.  He makes sure everyone is included, meaning, he doesn't always buddy up with his friends.  William helps make our classroom a friendly place to be."

Thank you for treating everyone as valuable William!
