Penguin day!

This week we have been learning about Emperor Penguins. The children were very interested in this topic due to all the news coverage about the penguin 'Happy Feet' who came and visited NZ. Over the week we have been learning about where penguins live, what they eat, what eats them and  who and how they look after their babies.


There have been some fantastic stories written over the past few days which will be published an displayed in Room 1 along with some art and a selection of facts.
Today we had our very own 'Penguin Day.' Everyone was very excited to try some penguin food.
On the menu there was - salmon on seaweed squares and tuna on seaweed crackers....the facials were BRILLIANT!!! Our special guest Mr McKenzie paid us a visit and was brave enough to try some penguin food, he was kind enough to demonstrate how a penguin would eat it.


The verdict-Out of 21 children- 8 liked the salmon on seaweed and 16 liked the tuna on seaweed crackers!
The room was full of laughter, facials, spat out food and children asking for more.
I am very proud of all my Room 1 kiddies as everyone tried the penguin food, they were very brave.


Later we watched the movie 'Happy Feet.' All the facts we had learnt were in the movie which made us feel very cool.
We were on assembly today- WELL DONE ROOM 1 YOU ROCKED IT!!!!
