Making Fishing Rods

 

On Friday we hade a whale of a time making fishing rods.  We had the most wonderful group of parents to help us who were able to get a good system going where we worked one to one with them to make our own rods.  We used bamboo poles that Vladimir, Jonathon and Nikki’s families organised for us.   We had lots of Mums and Dads come with their tools and we drilled a hole through the top of the pole to attach our line.  Next we added a float and a sinker and when we get to the wharf next Friday we will attach our hooks.  We had to roll up the line and put a rubber band around it to stop the lines from tangling.

We  can’t wait to get to the beach and have a go at fishing.  We hope we catch lots of fish.

A fun word building game

Mr Barker and Room 23 from Western Heights school had this you tube drum battle on their blog.  Who do you think is the best drummer?  Animal or Travis Barker?  I wonder if they are related?

Too often we give our children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.

What a great quote

Hi Room 6,

I am looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow.  Bring your smiles to school with you OK.  I can't wait to hear about all the fun you have had over the Easter break.
