The end of the year is nigh ...

Well hasn't this year flown by ... tomorrow is our last day together for the year.

We celebrated today with a party with our friends in E6. We have certainly made lots of friends across Year 0/1 who will we remain friends with as we move to Year 2.

We loved watching Frozen.  Many of us know all the words!

Fairy lights, balloons, a disco light ... dance time!

Thank you to all our friends, family and followers this year.  We have enjoyed sharing our learning with you through our blog and will continue to do so in our new classes next year.

Enjoy your school holidays and the festive season.

Arohanui,

Mrs Pescini and Super-Duper E7

Pack the Bus (when Santa came to town) ...

Today we were thrilled to have the Pack The Bus team visit Eastern Hutt School. Each year The Breeze radio station and The Wellington City Mission pack a Go Wellington Bus for The Wellington City Mission's Christmas Appeal full of Christmas food, toys and gifts for families who have been working hard to improve their quality of life throughout the year.

Many families in our school community donated items and we 'packed that bus' full. Well done Eastern Hutt School.

Along with Santa and the special helpers from The Breeze and The Wellington City Mission, we sang some happy Christmas songs.

Santa's arrival...

Nearly the whole school gathered to greet Santa and his helpers, and pack the bus...

E7 enjoyed the entertainment...

The jolly fella himself... 

We got to meet Santa up close!

Dragons! Dragons! Dragons!

We've had fun learning about the 'dr' blend this week.  We've been reading a very cool poem about dragons...

And we just love the story of four fiery dragons that all have names that start with 'D' in Dragons!  Dragons! Dragons!

Today we watched a very cool little clip online about dragons:

Followed by writing about our very own pet dragons (we don't really have pet dragons, but many of us would like one)...

This is my pet dragon.  It's name is Daisy.  Daisy can fit in a school bag and she has a love heart on her.  She has a ribbon on her hat.  She can fly.  Her favourite food is mandarins.  She loves sleeping in my mum's bed! She can jump over a house.  I got a ride on it and sometimes she is invisible.  I love my pet dragon.

This is my dragon.  She has sparkles on her.  When she flies she has wings.  When she stops, her wings go away!  Her name is Katie.  Her other name is KitKat.  My dragon is cute.  I love her.

~ By Scarlett

This is my pet dragon.  It's name is Ken Prshjon.  It can fly and it can walk fast. It's favourite food is Santa!  It can run faster than a T-Rex.  It lives in a dragon house.  I like my pet dragon.

This is my pet dragon.  His name is Toothless.  He is magic.  I love him.  He has sharp teeth.

This is my pet dragon.  He has some spikes on his back and head.  His spikes are sparkly.  His name is Domey.  His wings are huge.  He looks like a bee.  He lives in my garage.  I like my pet dragon because he has babies!

This is my pet dragon.  It's name is Jack.  It breathes out three different things which are fire, ice and arrows.  He is little.  He lives in my shoe.  He's the coolest in the world.  He is cool.  He eats fish.
