It actually means something. Diplo means double, Dino means terrible, Pod means foot and saurus means.......well, I don't really know. I think it just means like creature or something. So what does the name of that dinosaur I said at the start mean? Yup, Double footed creature thing. Well, you learn something new everyday. Narrative stories are also the focus this week. I'll have to get them to explain exactly what they are, seeing they explained that diplo thing so well. 31 August Lately, Room 7 have

been creating Observational Drawings. They have been drawing things like drink
bottles, drums and ukeleles. 10 June Room 7 have been writing thank you letters for the people who helped them on their trip to the NZ Postal Service. They have been really excited about having the senior 'babysitter' kids look after them during the wet lunchtimes this week. And we have had a few of those! The kids have heaps of fun building things, playing Poptropica and hide and seek. It has been fun looking after the kids but I can't wait until the weather clears up! 2 June Last
Thursday Room 7 went on a trip to the NZ Postal Service. They learnt about all
the different types of mail like Free Mail and Fast Mail. They also learnt about
this really cool machine that reads and sorts the mail at record speed. When I
asked some of the kids what their favourite part was they said 'definitely riding
on the bus'. 21 May During the last couple of weeks, Room 7 have been studying recycling. They made some cool pictures, and they even made some costumes out of recycled materials. They are now studying pioneers- the school life of pioneers and home life of pioneers.
