Last week we made some colour splash pictures. They were really fun to make. First we went out side and took some pictures of us holding something and I picked a green ball. Then we went on pixlr.com and coloured in the bits we wanted coloured in. Last we saved and printed them. Thank you Sophie.

Hi Cool Kauri Kids,

I know that you play Skoolbo but are addicted to it like us? We play during reading, writing AND as soon as we unpack our bags before school! Now, I will ask you again, are you addicted to Skoolbo like us? Maybe not but the only 2 reasons that we play whenever we can is that we need 25,000 ticks to get a prize pack and we love everything about Skoolbo. We even sent a e-mail to Skoolbo about maybe lowering the amount and she made it 1000 ticks each! We also attached a photo of us playing Skoolbo and she is going to put the photo of us on the Skoolbo blog!

Talk to ya later
