Education Outside the Classroom Week

Room 3 have had a lot of fun doing E.O.T.C. activities. On Monday, they were captivated by Zebong who told wonderful stories. He asked some children and teachers in the audience to act out different parts as he told the story. On Tuesday, we went into Wellington by bus and had a fantastic time at Capital E. First, we posted our wish lists into the Wishing tree and then walked through beautifully decorated Christmas trees and scenes. We then worked with Santa's elves to create a decoration for our tree, visit the Gingerbread house and do some fun activities while inside it. We also climbed the wall and visited Santa in his house while listening to stories. On Wednesday, we got out the parachute on the far field and had fun diving under it, running from side to side under it as our names were called and tried very hard to keep the balls on top of it as we shook it. On Thursday, we went to Avalon Park as part of our inquiry. We sketched and played on the equipment as well as had our morning tea and lunch there. On Friday, we stayed at school and did some fun Christmas activities. We were very tired but we loved our first experiences of E.O.T.C. week and aslo for some of us enjoyed our very first bus trip.
