Kauri Cross Country 2016

Our First Kauri Cross Country

Our Kauri Cross Country was on Thursday the 12 of May. It was the start of the race and I was nervous, but I still did it.

There was a lot of cheering. It was exciting to reach out for the finish line. At the end Hazel, Jennifer and I gave the

people there medals. Then we left to go back to school. It was fun at the Kauri cross Country.

The Curious World Of Plants

Term 2 Integrated Learning

The students recently visited Green Gold Herb Farm and Oderlings as a hook into our Integrated Studies on plants and their habitats. From here students looked at what plants need to grow and survive in different conditions. They also constructed a self irrigator planter to grow different herbs.

We also watched our sweet pea plants grow that we planted at Oderlings. Unfortunately, our sweet peas did not survive. The students had more success in growing their freesia's that they also planted at Oderlings.

Check out our sweet peas! We planted these on May 19 at Oderlings.

We have been looking at what a plant needs to grow and stay healthy. We have also looked at how a seed grows.

On Tuesday we constructed our self irrigated planter in preparation for planting our herb seeds on Thursday. We will be planting 4 seeds and it will be our responsibility to make sure we keep them watered so our seeds will grow.
