We did an exercise where we found out what was different about our two insects. In the afternoon we did a booklet. We did two pages.I got to the fun part I did some of it.

Chocolate Zucchini Cakes

In Room 10 we do cooking. Last week we made chocolate zucchini muffins out of the marrows in the school garden. Every body liked them so much we all wanted seconds but unfortunately there was not enough. Mr Davis is such a good teacher he helped us cut them up so we all got to have more. What I liked most about the muffins is the chocolate button on top.

Water Fight

On Friday Room 10 and Room 6 had a water fight on the back field. Sophie let me borrow her water gun. It was heaps of fun. Most of the time I was on home. I only squirted the people filing up their guns. Then we went to the pool and had our last swim for the season.

Our Monarch Hatches

Monarch Hatching on PhotoPeach



When a monarch butterfly hatches it slowly creeps out of its chrysalis and dries off its wings. It takes a little while to get all of its blood in to its wings, then it flies away in to the sky.
We saw all this happening in our class last week when our butterfly hatched. We had had it in class since it was a tiny caterpillar. It turned into a chyrsalis and then hatched as we all watched. We then put it out onto a flax plant and it flew away when it was strong enough.

Beach Day

On Thursday the middle syndicate went to Tahunanui Beach. There where 6 activities: sand castles at the shore, cricket, volleyball, sand creations, relays and petanque, playground.
Playground
I went to the playground first. it was with Mrs Cowley. I played on the tyre swing with Charlotte. I also played on the concrete runner.
Sandcastles at the shore
We ran down to the sandcastles at the shore and took off uniform so we were in our togs. We went down to water and started digging the moats of our castles. My castle was about half a metre tall. Charlottes castle got destroyed because she built it too close to the water.
