I-Quad

 Well everyone, I have been very busy exploring the town. The fire station is next to City Hall. It looks a bit like the one in Horsham!

I also dropped by one of the two primary schools, Kilbuck Elementary. The building also houses one of the two Yup’ik immersion schools. This looks very different to Horsham West PS doesn’t it? It is on stilts just like City Hall, I wonder why?

Kilbuck is one the schools in the Lower Kuskokwim School District. http://lksd.org
LKSD has a virtual science program, http://learnscape.org/blog Check out the flash animation on this page for how rocks are formed it’s awesome!

More soon, keep in touch.

Here is Bethel City Hall. It is built on stilts.

The stairs look funny, too.

Further up the one paved highway is the post office (I met the postmaster and assistant postmaster!)

I think I landed through these satellite dishes, but there are 2 more dishes out of view.

This is the only 3-way stop in Bethel. It is a large town compared to others in the region, but not a big city at all. There are no movie theatres and only 2 grocery stores plus 2 case lot stores.

How is it different to where you live?

I got a special visitors badge from City Hall!

 Have arrived safely at 60 degrees 46 minutes north latitude and 161 degrees and 50 minutes west (remember the first red dot on the Clustrmap?). The sun is shining and it is snowing.

Pam (Dr Bumsted) met me and took me home. I’m resting now. More later.

      Hey! I made a great little friend on the weekend!   You can make him do tricks…click here to try for yourself.  Send in a comment and tell me what you can make him do.                                            

I have had an astronomical time here and made many new friends. It is time to travel through your troposphere and discover what else lies beyond Horsham.

Maybe you know of an exciting place that I could travel to?

If you have a friend or relative who lives in another part of Australia or even another country then write to me and tell me where I would go and what I might see and do.

My plan is to be sent from one location to another and I will post my exciting journey up on my blog for my Horsham West PS friends to see.

So kids….ask your friends and relatives if they would like me to visit them and write and tell me about it. I will let you know where I decide to go .So get writing NOW!

Thankyou for helping me name the places in Horsham. With your help I have sent my holiday Pictures to my family! Click here to see the list of winners. Collect your Kids’ Capers free passes and runners-up can collect a free pen donated by Cartridge World.

Greetings Earthlings,

I found a wonderful way to learn information about your unique planet and you can help me once again. On the right side of my blog is a poll…not for sliding down, but for answering questions. If everybody reads the question and then ticks the box with the correct answer, I will have my answer!

Teachers! I have a challenge for you too! If you can tell me what a voki is, and what Miss Koenig’s voki says, you will receive a reward, probably the edible type. Just type your answer in the comment box and don’t forget to identify yourself. Good Luck.

Hey everyone, take a look at my new Page called Classroom Visits. You can click on the tab above to see  photos taken when I visit the classrooms at Horsham West. I’m making new friends every day! We used Smilebox to create these shows.

Take a look at messages sent to me by Grade Ones created in Word. Thanks everyone!

Greetings my earthly allies.

 I have a new request for you!

I recently set off to explore your wonderful town of Horsham and I took photographs to email back to my family and friends. There is only one problem… My photos became mixed up and I don’t know the names of the places where the photos were taken.

I am hoping the students of Horsham West/Haven P.S can help me out.

Below you can see thumbnails of my photos, by clicking on each one you will be able to see a larger picture, can you tell me the number of each one and where it was taken?

The student who guesses the most locations in each group listed below will win a free pass to

K i d s C a p e r s

I Free Pass for Prep

2 Free Pass for Years 1 & 2

1 Free Pass for Years 3 & 4

1 Free pass for Years 5 & 6

Saturday 15th March will be your last chance for this round!

The new one will begin Monday 17th March.

There will be another chance next week with new pictures and 5 more free passes!

 ( I visited Kids Capers and went down their giant slide! Whoa!!)

I-Quad!!! Hmmm….I Like It.   Emily chose it for me. She said…  ”I think it should be called I-QUAD because he has four eyes. And it’s cool like an i-pod! I think it would be fun to have lots of adventures with the blue four eyed creature. Where are you from? Give us some blues clues!

  There were so many names..I could have spent light years deciding! You earthlings are so creative.                         

I took a break from selenography classes today so I could spend the day with my new friend and all her classmates. We had a great time.

Don’t forget to check back soon as I have another great cosmic challenge headed your way.

My Day with I-Quad

 In the morning we went to computers.

We typed a bingo chart on living systems while Ms Harrington took our photos. In P.E. with Mr Ellis I-Quad played number soccer. I-Quad got a bit tired so he was the commentator.

At snack he got some photos taken then he sat inside with Miss Burns. After snack we did some writing and I- Quad did some spelling.

At lunch he came outside and had some twisties for lunch and a ham sandwich. He also played with all my friends outside and enjoyed being the centre of attention.

After lunch he did some maths and then we went to the Resource Centre and he read a few books and borrowed two of them.

We went back to class and he read his new books and then he did some maths. He was also part of our class council meeting. I had a great day with I-Quad. I hope I can be part of all his adventures at Horsham West P.S.
