It has been extremely hot in Westport during the last few weeks. The last rain we had was a small shower in the middle of the night three weeks ago. Today we had 22 degrees...but we were prepared! All we needed was a hose and some clothes to get changed into. It was great fun!
Haere Mai, Welcome! This is the class blog for Room 5, The Shining Stars! We are a New Entrant - Year 1 class in Westport, New Zealand. Please look at our blog and leave a comment!

A cardboard box...
Check this out...these boys came up with the idea of using this box like this - they also figured out they needed to work together and co-operate to keep it rolling. Amazing work boys!
The video is awesome but I am unable to load it to the blog at this stage...
