Cute Colourful Clowns

Last week in H3 we focussed on the letter C and found out lots and lots about it.  
Do you know there are so many words that begin with 'C' but you have to be very careful as the letter 'K' makes the same sound and can trick you!  We know 'cat' begins with 'C' but not 'kitten'!
On Friday we made very cute and colourful clown faces.  We are holding them in the photos.  

Discovery and adventure at the rocky shore!

Today H3 went to the Island Bay Marine Education Centre.  We got to touch and hold so many different sea creatures in the 'touch tanks' like starfish and sea cucumbers and sea urchins and shells that moved!  We saw Madonna the octopus being fed a crab for her lunch.  We saw the sea horses gliding up and down their tank looking almost magical.  And the cute, little turtles made us laugh!
The wind was blowing very hard as we clambered and climbed over the rocks to explore the rock pools.  We almost got blown away by the fierce Wellington wind as we crouched down to look at the octopus hiding under the rocks and held the teeny, tiny shells we found.
Have a look at H3 at the rocky shore!
