Forest Survivor

Forest Survivor Trip!

How lucky are we to be so close to our very own forest! As part of our inquiry we visited Bottle Lake Forest and took part in the Forest Survivor. One of the things we had to do was make a hut as a team just in case we ever found ourselves lost in the forest and needed to keep warm. We had a great time creating these huts together and if we ever did get lost we now know what to do!

The Gardening Group.

This year we have been doing lots of things in the school veggie garden. We have eaten some lovely apples, pears, feijoas and strawberries. We even used our pumpkins for the soup we made for the Matariki Celebration. This term we have been tidying up the garden beds and getting them ready for new planting closer to spring. Last week Mary from Orchards in Schools came to school to show us how to prune our fruit trees.

Writing with Brogan and Louise - Forest Week

What an amazing week of writing with Brogan and Louise, we have been learning about forests close to us. The children had a great prior knowledge of forests, some children even knew that forests in other countries had bears! Have a look at our work from forest week and please comment below on our work, we love it when you comment, it helps motivate us to share more each week.

Protect our important places.

Riley made a poster to help us remember about protecting the places we think are important.
