Science (our school creek)

On Monday we had our School Science fair day.

We had a visit from Charlie Witts. 

Charlie talked to us about the history of our school creek, what animals and creatures might live in our school creek and how we can restore the creek.

We will make a plan with Charlie, Eco schools and the Far North Regional Council to restore this beautiful water way.

WE WILL NEED HELPERS!!!!!

Healthy Food

Yesterday we had a visit from Gina. She taught us about the different food groups and how they help our bodies.

Meat and protein help us to grow.

Grains help us to go.

                                    Fruit and vegetables help us to glow.

                             

                                  Milk and milk products help us to grow.

Sausage the pig

Eva-Rose is looking after her neighbour's pig. His name is sausage. Eva-Rose takes our food scrapes from our lunches home each day and she feeds them to sausage.

Our first day of lunches in schools

We were very excited when we saw the subway truck arrive!!

They delivered delicious ham rolls and strawberry yoghurt.

Matariki Celebration Day

This morning we gathered at school at 6.30am to look for Matariki stars.

It was a beautiful sunrise. We saw lots of beautiful stars, but we didn't see the Matariki cluster.

Last night Miss Simmonds learnt how to make fried bread with her friend Missy. We will have the bread with soup for lunch today.

We made Matariki kites. We glued lots of beautiful things onto our painted kites (feathers, beads, shells and LOTS of glitter).

Grace was practicing being the teacher.

For lunch we had the fried bread and delicious pumpkin soup. I'm glad to report the bread was a real hit!
