Fantastic First Day of Planting

At Worser Bay School we have planted some feijoas, a lemon tree, sunflowers, peas, cucumber, cherry tomatoes and red peppers

We hope that these  grow so they will look good, and taste nice.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

If you are playing with any balls please be careful not to hit the plants.

Please do not dig in the boxes because there are little seeds growing in them.

Inquiry challenges

We are exploring invention and innovation in inquiry at the moment. Yesterday we completed some BP challenges (http://www.starters.co.nz/bpchallenge-index.html) to tune in to what we could invent or innovate. We were trying to create a stretcher that could carry a classmate, a marble run so our marble could hit a target and a "picker" to remove a ball from a high, unstable place.

Have a look at some of the photos of us creating and exploring:

13 Storey Treehouse

We have been reading the 13 Storey Treehouse in Nicola's Literacy group:

The story was about 2 boys who write stories and they go on interesting adventures. They have a boss who has a really big nose. Each time they write another book they add 13 storeys, each storey has a different thing on it. - Meg

The story was about 2 boys who had a 13 storey treehouse. - Oto 

The story was about making sea monkeys, finding a sea monster in the sea monkey eggs and they had a giant gorilla smashing the tree. - Angelina
