Harvest Festival

We are busy making things for our Harvest Festival on Friday.

Dugan is carving our pumpkin.

Here is Dugan cutting our pumpkin.

We are getting the seeds out.

It felt squishy!

We all had a turn getting the seeds out!

We would like to plant our seeds and grow another pumpkin.

We are making cheese and tomato kebabs for sharing at the Harvest Festival

We are making a kebab.

We are learning how to make the kebabs.

Everyone has a turn...

We can't wait to try our kebabs and hope the rest of Hamilton East School likes them.

The Marae and Hot Air Ballooning at Hamilton East School

We went to the Marae, here we are on the bus...

In the bus...

At the Marae...

The meeting house...

The spine and ribs inside the meeting house

A hot air balloon came and visited Hamilton East School.  Have a look at our pictures.

It was freezing cold watching the balloon being blown up.

The fire is filling the balloon with air so it can go high in the sky.

Up, up and away!

The balloon is deflating.

We have had such a busy week...

Thank you Visique Total Vision for our cool sunglasses...

Class Photos

It was really exciting getting ready for class photos.  

First we had to line up from tallest to shortest, then the photographer told us where to stand.  

We had to smile our very best smile.

We even said "Cheese" to make our smiles really big!

See if you can recognise everyone in Room 3..

Getting ready to be put in the right spot for the photo.

A bright flash goes off when the photo is taken.
