Arataki education center

On the 6th of September, all the year 5s went to Aritaki education center. We traveled there by bus, it was getting too long for me a started feeling car sick. We finally arrived there, when we all got out of the bus we started eating our snack. Once we had finished our yummy snack we went into the classroom. When we were in the classroom we learnt about how the different native plants and animals that were extinct or endangered. We also what different animals that don't belong in New Zealand. Room 15 went down to the place where they help grow the trees. We were meant to bring a yoghurt cup to the trip because we were bringing the plants back to school. Some people brought a container. This is why we needed to bring a yoghurt cup, it was because the parents were meant to poke a hole in it with a nail. Once we had finished planting our plants in the yoghurt cup we went back up the hill back to the porch of the class. We were enjoying our lunch and chatting away. After we ate our lunch room 15 went on a nature walk. We had some stops while we were walking. We had a stop and we had to sit down and listen to what was around us, then we had to write down what we heard on a piece of paper. We had to go find these things that helps you know what pests are in the area. We also had to identify what animal or insect the footprint is. After we found all of them we looked at the traps that kill the pests. It was sad to know how the pests are getting killed I don't think it's their fault that they are killing our native birds and plants. Sadly it was time to go back to school, I had soo much fun being there I hope we can go there again

Clay

                                  Clay

In Term 1 for passion projects Ashton, Ben and Philipp did clay sculptures. I did a Funny fish, rose and a dragon fly. I found the fish the hardest to make because it took me 2 weeks to finish. Secondly I finished the flower in one block which was the easiest but took alot of tries. Lastly I finished the dragon fly in two blocks which I made it very smooth. I can't wait to see what it looks like when it is ready.

Easter holidays

Easter holidays

It is nearly Easter holidays, and it is on April fools day. I think it is going to be harder to find Easter eggs because it is on April fools day. I am really exited for Easter because we get to get a chocolate Easter bunnies and it is huge so it takes 3 to 4 days to finish the hole thing. I am thinking to make some decorations for Easter. I have a sponge bunnie and it is huge and I am not exaggerating. Its no joke and the bunnie grows from a egg to a sponge bunnie. I still don't know if we are going away for Easter holiday. Before the Easter holidays it is  good Friday.
