The Lockdown adventures of Tama the cat.

Since we have been home for the last week, Joseph and I have noticed some of the mischief our cat Tama gets up to.

Here are some of his antics.

If you have any pictures of your pets please send them to me. We could have a Te Awa pets blog.

 I hope you are all staying safe and having fun with your whanau at home. 

There is learning available for all Te Awa students on our class site. Please remember it's completely optional. 

Here is Eva-Rose enjoying doing her reading online at home (The links for a new book and activity each day on our site).

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I MISS YOU ALL!

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.
