We have been learning about Diwali. What facts did you learn? How does it compare to your celebrations for the New Year? What special celebrations do you have in your family? Can you tell us a bit about it?

I really enjoyed reading your senses poems this week. Write one to share about 'The Beach'. Think about sounds, sights, smells, tastes and things you feel or can feel at the beach. I see... I smell... I taste... I hear... I feel... Remember to describe what you can sense e.g. I can hear the waves crashing loudly on the white sandy beach. Put your name at the end.
Today when I called in to see you at music with Mrs Hohaia, I was so impressed with your singing, so I thought I'd video you all. Share it with your mum and dad and tell us what they thought. Don't forget to write your name at the end.
Tadpole Blues
Yesterday I had a body and a tail A body and a tail, body and a tail Yesterday I had a body and a tail Today I've got two legs as well
What is happening to me Whatever can it be I'm not very happy and that's because I liked the way I was
Well blow me down, it's happenin' again Happenin' again, happenin' again Blow me down, it's happenin' again There's two legs growing at the front as well
What is happening to me Whatever can it be I'm not very happy and that's because I liked the way I was
Uh oh, what's going on, my tail is getting shor-orter Tail is getting shor-orter, tail is getting shor-orter What's going on, my tail is getting shor-orter It's going, going, gone - oh no
What is happening to me Whatever can it be I'm not very happy and that's because I liked the way I was
Well now I'm a frog and I've more or less got used to it More or less got used to it, more or less got used to it But sometimes a tadpole swims up to have a quiet chat And I know what he's going to say
What is happening to me Whatever can it be I'm not very happy and that's because I liked the way I was
Now listen - it's really rather nice to be a frog And live at the bottom of a bog So don't be concerned or worry about a thing Come on and sing-sing-sing
