Celebration of learning
Celebrating our Learning with Parents. What a fantastic day!
It was really packed and noisy when Parents, Friends and Family came in today, It was really fun. Everybody was looking at the work we have done and the artefacts that we found down the bank. All the parents were so excited to explore the classrooms and find out what is down the bank, they also enjoyed seeing what we have to offer. There was also some delicious Kawa-kawa tea that we put out for the parents and students, tasty! There was a table for sketching and drawing with charcoal, so the parents could do some art. The parents loved all of the amazing bird feeders that we made! We planted the seed bombs down the bank with the parents and teachers so that they could see what the seed bombs do. Here are the parents looking at the footprints we got through our tracking tunnels, The parents look at the treasure we found down the bank and planting seed bombs!

Treasure Hunt
On Friday 20\3\2015 Matariki and Mahutonga went on a Treasure hunt for our inquiry, ‘What is in our backyard’?
We had to find native Flora and Fauna in the school grounds and down at the beach. We were put in nine activity groups and each of the groups got given a grid map of Worser Bay, and a checklist, we had to take pictures for evidence of what we found.
We had heaps of fun finding the native Flora and Fauna.
We found Kohwai, Pohutukawa trees, Toi Toi, Huntsman’s Toilet paper, Puriri, Kawakawa, Karaka and Taupata.
The Fauna that we found was, Crabs, Jelly fish,Butterflies, Spiders, Millipedes, Stick-insects and we found lots and lots of Starfish!!
We got given a point on our map where we had to go and find our treasure, when we got there their was a bag for or group and the treasure was…. Lollies, “Mmmmm Lollies ”!
Everyone had a great time on a great day!

Jungle Art
By Hunter: In Mahutonga and Matariki we have been drawing different types of leaves and putting our avatars on there. Firstly it was meant to be a New Zealand native plants, but then it turned into a crazy jungle with blue mushrooms, rainbow leaves, pink flowers, pineapples and bananas. Our inspiration was Henri Rousseau he is a painter and here is one of his paintings:
