Any one for some adventure???

Yes, it finally arrived!
Our Campout Day was on the 29th Novemeber at the Pedersen's farm. The weather was a bit damp but it didn't dampen any of the enthusiasm the children and parents displayed while eeling (a very original way, thanks to Mr Pedersen), jousting, tent pitching, cooking and BMX riding. 
Thank you to those fabulous parents and brave souls who combated the weather and forged ahead with such a great day. 
Everyone arrived back at school exhausted but very happy!!

On the 28th of November Room 1 and Room 3 went to Hamilton Zoo for a fabulous visit. It was such a great time. Some of us even caught a glimpse of the new tiger arriving from Auckland Zoo.
We dodged the rain and went walking around the Zoo first, then we went in to the Education Room where we learnt about the history of Zoo's.
Thank you to all the parents who helped get us there and to the staff of the Hamilton Zoo.

Trail Blazing Day

In preparation for our Campout Day Room 3 and some room 5 children learnt about creating and following trails. We had great fun making and  following some interesting trails. Thanks Mrs Jones.

Ancient Art.

In Room 3 we have been exploring how ancient people used art to recount and write their stories about how they lived and hunted. We looked at Aboriginal art from Australia and Egyptian art, then we created our own. Here is some of our artwork  based on Aboriginal art.

Stream Planting Stage 2

Once again we donned our gumboots, threw a spade over our shoulders, picked up plants and headed down the the stream to plant up some more of the banks. It was great to see so many parents out again to help us. Thank you everyone!
