More photos of our 100 days celebration



100 days celebration

What a great day we had on Tuesday when we celebrated our100th day at school this year. We spent the whole day doing lots of activities based around one hundred. The children all brought collections of 100 things that had been grouped in different ways to school
.
The highlight of the day for the children was the party! And in the afternoon we invited our buddy class to show them all our activities and help us finish the food. Mr Cameron, Ms Pears and Ms  McKendry also visited us and we described our displays to them. Mrs B was very proud of us. 
Many thanks to all the parents for the yummy food and helping their child with their holiday homework.

More zoo day activities

We were all working very hard! 
We all enjoyed showing our work to our parents and visitors



Animaltastic Zoo Day

We had a great day on Friday when the Year 1 and 2 children in Rooms 4, 5 and 6 opened their Animaltastic Zoo for our visitors. We have been learning about the jobs people do at a zoo. We have also been learning about how to make mind maps and write reports ( if you haven't already, check out the fantastic animal reports the children did at home and at school).

The three classes worked together collaboratively for the inquiry unit and the children worked in small groups to make some wonderful animal dioramas.


On our zoo day we all had jobs to do.
We were vets
Builders/maintenance workers - making a kiwi house.
Office staff selling the tickets and distributing maps of the zoo.
Zoo keepers.
Cafe and gift shop staff.

Learning a new game. The Year 7&8 students taught us how to play baton hockey. They were great teachers and the children loved it.

Farm visit

Farm Visit

Photos from our farm visit and facts we learnt.




The cows need to eat grass so that they can make milk.

The farmer milks the cows using machines.



The milk is sucked from the cows' udders through pipes. Here is Laura looking at the pipe.



The milk goes into a big stainless steel container and a tanker gets the milk and takes it to a factory. We had lunch by the big containers. They were very cold because the milk has to stay cold.


The milk goes to a factory and it is made into cheese, yoghurt and butter.
It is also put into containers for us to buy and have with our cereals.

We were very tired on the way home!
