New Kids on the Block

We have two new friends in Room One. Alazay started school on Monday and it is her first week ever at school! She has learnt to hold her pencil correctly, sit up nicely on the mat and listen to instructions.
Today, we are very lucky because we have another boy starting in our class. Charlie has come all the way from Foxton. He is a year one, and all the boys have already been playing nicely together. Charlie already has 3 stickers on his sticker chart!!
We are so excited to get to know our new classmates!!!

Major Patterson comes to visit

On Tuesday Major Patterson came to talk to us about the war and Anzac Day and why we celebrate it. he also brought lots of his Army stuff but not his guns to show us.
He had his sleeping bag, a drink bottle, a sword, pots and pans and a gas cooker.
He had a spade, to dig a hole to hide in so no one can see him if he was at war. Major Patterson also had One big backpack and one little one, he big one holds everything in it including a tent, this goes on his back when hes walking. The little one goes around his waist, that one holds things like bullets.
Major Patterson told us that the New Zealand Army don't generally go into war, they go after the war to help keep the peace.
Major Patterson came in his Army uniform and on his shirt, he wore lots of medals, they were Regan's Great Grandads medals that he got in the war.
Major Patterson told us that he doesn't go to war, he trains the new Army Soldiers and makes sure that they know what they need to do if they are in war.
We loved hearing all the things Major Patterson had to tell us!!!
