Junior School Beach Trip

Last week the junior classes all went to Days Bay for a fun day at the beach.  It was a typical Windy Wellington kind of day - but the sun shined brightly for us.  

We were very excited about catching the bus with our friends.   

What wonderful bus manners we had! Sitting safely and sensibly,  and saying thank you to the driver.

We stopped for morning tea before we began

 exploring the beach.

We covered our legs in sand! It felt cold at first.

We spent such a long time making all sorts of sandcastles.  We made big ones and little ones! We made them with friends showing co-operation and teamwork.

We made some sandcastles on our own too.

We were very creative.  We found beach treasures to decorate our castles.  We used shells and tiny bits of driftwood.

We loved exploring the water's edge.  

We found colourful shells, smooth stones and squishy slimey seaweed.

Hunter has found something interesting!

I wonder what Ashley thinks about Hunter's 

handful of seaweed?

Hands Up if you love jumping waves!

 

Scooping and Pouring Water.

Thinking and Problem Solving.

Making Discoveries.

Being creative, investigating, exploring and experimenting.

What has Natasha found?

We finished our day with a nice quiet wander around 

the duckpond. 

What a fantastic day we had.  

We all went home like tired little ducks! 

Thank you so much to Riya's Dad, Dylan's Mum, Lachlan's Mum and Mrs Cooper for taking such great care of us and helping to give us an amazing day out at the beach!  We couldn't have had so much fun without your help.  

I wonder what your favourite part of our beach trip was? Share your thoughts and leave us a comment to read together in class.
