Morning Programme 18th March 2016

Today's super organised MP team.  Well done you superstars.

Today...

Greer gave us a book review of the wonderful story, "Fantastic Mr Fox" by Roald Dahl.  We loved hearing her review of the horrible crooks, so different in looks, one fat, one short, one lean, that's Boggis, Bunce and Bean!  Not to mention, the very cunning and cheeky Fantastic Mr Fox.

Lily told us about a famous person who was born 671 years ago.  He was an engineer or an inventor and an artist.  He designed a crossbow and a helicopter.  But he is more well known for his artworks - his sculpture of David, his painting of "The Last Supper" and the most famous painting in the world, "The Mona Lisa."

This famous man is: Leonardo Da Vinci.

Otis talked to us about a place special to him, called Arrowtown where his nanny lives. He told us about bike tracks, the "epic" bike park, the Arrow River and the "scrumptious" lolly shop and ice-cream shop.  The great thing is Arrowtown is only a one hour drive away.

Casey showed us how to knit... finger knit.  It was awesome and we all want to give it a go.  She told us we would need some wool, a pop stick to hold our place, a bag to keep it in and a finger!  Then she explained and demonstrated how to loop the wool around a finger and pull the bottom loop over and off.
