Swimming

We have been swimming this year and have been learning to be stronger swimmers,to dive outwards.We absolutely love swimming.
I like learning breastststroke.
I liked going on the body board in the big pool.

Masked Parade

Children from our class and other classes throughout the school participated in the Nelson Masked Parade. We had been working on our masks and sashes for the last part of last term. We marched and performed to the song 'The World is Black, The World is White'. Our sashes were made to represent cultures from around the world. Our World was being carried on a stretcher to represent the effects of climate change.

Brook Sanctuary

Last Tuesday Room 10 went to the Brook Sanctuary .We did a walk, it was about an hour.We learnt about traps and plants. One of the plants was kawakawa,we ate it. There were 4 sorts of traps we learnt about,one squashes the possums head together. They're going to build a fence that goes around the whole sanctuary and that will stop the pests from killing the native birds. We made kawakawa tea. It smelled horrible but it tasted nice. We learnt that rangiora was the bushmans toilet paper or bushmans friend. We learnt that tutu is poisonious and killed an elephant from a visiting circus.

Helping in the garden

Today we went to our school garden to plant flowering plants that will give off a scent to stop the bugs from eating the
vegetables. We will start planting more flowers and vegetables later in the term.
Later in the afternoon we went to the school garden to plant sunflower seeds. And we raked afterwards so you couldn't see our footprints.
We planted some other seeds a week ago. We took heaps of pictures of the ones that had sprouted.
The sunflowers are growing very well. When they have flowered and seeded we will use the seeds to feed the birds.
