Our 7th Enviro Day with Mrs Daniel

Today was our 7th Enviro Day with Mrs Daniel. We kicked the day off with a scavenger hunt in the native bush walk. While the rest of the class hunted, Kamden, Joshua, Henry, Leon, Sophie & Lauren volunteered to plant new tussock plants and weed around the native bush walk.

Kamden, Joshua & Leon showed awesome team work and perserverence digging the holes for the tussock and tucking them in with nutrient rich potting mix.

Joshua said, "It was fun and hard work. I was proud of myself". Kamden liked putting the soil in best because he likes to get his hands dirty. We look forward to seeing the tussock grow bigger and bigger.

The Zoo!

We are off to visit the animals!  The children of Rooms 8 and 16 are definately excited - the talking and noise in the bus proves this.  Personally I am looking forward to being up close and personal with the Giraffe and maybe lunch with the elephants!  A wonderful day ahead!

Badminton

Kevin from Auckland Badminton will be teaching us about how to play badminton. 

We learnt about how to hold the racket and shuttlecock.

Kevin showed us some trick shots that we could practice.

Thank you Kevin can't wait to have another go!

It was FUN!!!!

Making our Trash to Fashion Costumes

Over the last few days we have been making our costumes.  We have a dazzling array of costumes.  Some of us have started many times over, cut out patterns to find they don't fit and even stapled our fingers to the costumes.

Auckland Libraries Roadshow Mon 19 Sep

First we listened to a story Sausages. 

The6y told us that stories are everywhere in a Library. 

We were shown the Auckland Libraries Website.

We had a readers theatre around a Kakariki story where 2 children and Mr Tucker acted out some scenes.  Then more children acted out another story.
