Tree Planting

Guess what Room 1 did last week. We planted trees at school!
There were four people in each group. The people in my group were Emily, Oliver, Blaze and me. If you want to plant a tree you need a shovel, bucket, water and bark. We got a plant, I dug a hole. Blaze put a plant in the hole. Then Emily got some water and put it in the hole. I went to get bark from the pile. I came back and put the bark around the tree.
It was fun planting trees.              by Amy D

FireStation Visit

A few days ago Room 1 went to the Fire Station. The Fire man was called Steve. Steve showed use the new fire truck and it shoots out foam. That was my favourite fire truck of all. They have fire proof clothes to keep them warm and so they don't get burnt.   by Caleb

School Assembly - Dog Safety

Kerwin and Sam the dog

At the School Assembly last Friday we demonstrated tips to keep you safe around dogs. Some children displayed their dog sketches and we sung the song Grumpy Dogs. Torrin read his very descriptive story about Issy his dog who was at assembly with him!

Making Jelly - New World Science Experiment

We made jellies at school and New world - Little Kitchen gave us all the ingredients. Once the jelly was dissolved with boiling water we put a Kiwiana Vine into each container. Then we had to wait for the jelly to set in the fridge. Finally just before home time they were ready and the jelly and vine were really tasty. We learned that the jelly crystals went from a solid to a liquid and when the jelly set it went back to a solid again. Thanks New World - we really enjoyed the opportunity to carry out the experiment.
