Fading like ghosts and as fast as a comet !

Afternoon Clubs

(Trailer by Mya)

Club day was a success! We mixed up with seniors and juniors, new teachers and new spaces. Our club is the ICT and team building groups. We had to work together to cross the minefield and plan how we'd get off a deserted island. Watch this space for some videos explaining our strategies! 

More position and direction! We're using our knowledge of position and direction words to follow instructions and put Hairy Mclairy where he needs to be.

Extraordinary Wellington

We have been writing poems about what we love about Wellington.

Water

This week in sustainability we have been finding out about water. Water is important because it helps plants grow and they would die without it. You can set up a watering system at home by using a plastic bottle to put in the ground next to the plants and drip feeding them. You can also put a timer onto your garden hose so that you don't waste water. We found out that the Maori word for water is wai.
