The Dudgeon by Julia Donaldson
The Jigsaw
What does the Dudgeon look like?
We started in our Home Teams.
We chose a part of the Dudgeon to draw.
We worked in our Expert Teams with others who had chosen the same part.
We went back to our Home Teams to put our Dudgeon together.

Welcome back
What did you do at school today?
It was such a busy week back.
Kauri Toru gave us a special surprise at Buddy Reading time. They shared big books they had made especially for us. They are clever authors and illustrators. THanK YoU
Shake Out N.Z. We practiced what to do in an earthquake. Check out Mr. Smith's blog-you can't see us, we were under the tables!
Then there was the Ukelele Concert. Fun songs...
Co-operative learning with the Jigsaw tool....
And finally our first go at learning to weave-come along to the Art Show to have a look at this and our other fabulous art.

Special visitors in Rata block
Today Junior brought police dag Ike to school.
Junior showed us the uniforms worn by policemen.
Rhian is wearing normal body gear. He has a dog harness attached.
Kyla is wearing clothing from the Armed defenders squad. It was very heavy.
Bobby tried on clothing from the Special Tactics team.
Gabe and Harry showed how Ike was trained to grab a person if needed.
Gabe wore arm cuffs so the dogs teeth wouldn't hurt him.
Ike is also taught how to track a scent so he can help to find people.
Ike can do whatever Junior asks him to. He can sit, stand and balance a rugby ball.
We got to pat Ike. It is great how police dogs can help policemen to do their job.
