Oceana and Ruana
Garden Club started on Friday. Wendy, Tim and Susan worked hard with the garden club members. We are growing food so we can cook with it during Book Week. The theme for Book Week this year is a "Book Banquet".
We are also developing our butterfly garden and planting lots of flowers to bring the butterflies to our garden. 
More keen gardeners
We helped plant flowers in the planter box outside Room 2. 

Butterfly


Whaea Bev came on Monday. She bought us more swan plants for our caterpillars and she brought us a beautiful butterfly that had just hatched.

Vincent carried the bucket with the butterfly on the swan plant over to the flagpole garden and we let her go. We thought she would like the flowers in the flagpole garden.

Healthy hearts

This is Bron.
Bron is our special public health nurse. 
She came to our class to show us how to wash our hands properly to help get rid of any germs.
Bron also told us why she checks our throats if we have a sore throat
because some of the germs that give you a sore throat can also hurt our hearts.

Ice, ice , ice


We are learning about water and how you can turn it into ice or steam and back again.
Whaea Angela got some ice cube bags and we put water in the bags.
Then we put the bags in the freezer.
We left the bags in the freezer.
When we got the bags out there was ice! We held it - it was cold. We put it outside in the sun. 
It disappeared. Juelz said it evaporated .
Some of us tried to stamp on the ice and break it. It was very strong and hard to break.
We also ate the ice! It was lovely on a hot day.
