Visiting Mystery Creek

We travelled on the school bus to Mystery Creek. 
Allan showed us lots of old things like the washing machine, the old camera, an old iron, an old dentists chair and old clothes that we could try on. 


 Earl showed us old tractors, old carriages that horses had to pull and a frog! Inside he showed us how they used to make butter. Then we visited the old village and saw the old school room, the jail, the old hospital, the church the petrol station and the blacksmiths who used to make shoes for the horses.
 Our favourite things were the school, the jail, the hospital, the cow, the petrol station, the blacksmiths, the plane and finding the letters. 

We learned how to make butter and that milk comes from cows. 






We learned it is dark and spooky in the jail and that the dental nurse's drill used to hurt more than it does today.

Hopscotch

We have been learning to play hopscotch. You have to be good at throwing, jumping and counting.
Hopscotch is a very old game. Our teachers, our mums and dads and even our grandparents played hopscotch when they were little.

Les Mills School of Fitness

Each Monday, Laurelle from Les Mills School of Fitness, comes to Hamilton East School to teach us exercises to help keep us fit and healthy. 
We are lucky as we get to do fitness with Room 3 as well. 
We get to move to the music and sometimes we pretend we are animals.







Dress Up Day

We were so excited to get dressed up for VSA Pacific dress up day.
Whaea Kat and Mrs McLean thought that we all looked gorgeous.
