Bloggers of the Week

Above are the bloggers of the week. Being a blogger is a great experience.

Activity Rotation

We had a treasure hunt with compasses. The treasure was a packet of lollies for all of us. I found the treasure and you'll see me holding it in the photo above.

My group built a hut and then ate popcorn once we had finished. We also played cards. Some of our popcorn went on the floor so we had a little bit less than the other groups.

 

We went on a hunt. We had to take photos of the things that were on the list. At the end if we got them all done in time we got to do an extra for experts. That was taking a photo of a person in our group looking like they were holding something big.

 

 

We made a damper which is like a scone, but it is flour, milk and butter. The class mascott Booboo is helping us. When we were making it we had to get into groups of three or four. I got the biggest damper in my group. At the end we got to eat the damper with maple syrup on top.

 

 

 

My friends were making a hut and a seesaw. How they made the seesaw was they got a big, round log and they put it on top of another log.

 

 

I made a hut with my three friends. When we were finished we got to have popcorn with icing sugar on it. When we finished the popcorn, we played a card game. It was great fun.

Come and have a look on the i-pad at more pictures of our trip!

Pukeiti Visit - written by the Bloggers of the Week

On Tuesday the 7th of May our class went to Pukeiti. First we went into the classroom and learnt about Creepy Crawlies. The instructor showed us how to make a pitfall trap.  Then we went outside to have a look at a couple that had been set. In the traps there were a couple of arachnids and insects.

Next we went to a large spot and we were told to find a spot where we could build a hut if we were living in pioneer times. The girls chose the best spot because no water would go down inside the tent and no trees would fall on it on a windy day.

We went into the rainforest and saw the Rata tree. All of Room 6, 27 people, could fit inside the hole in the Rata tree! While we were walking back to the classroom we found out that we could eat a couple of plants in the rainforest. One was the fern and the other was a koru. The koru tasted like lettuce!

Lastly we shovelled up a plant from the ground that we got to take back to school. We went into the classroom and talked about our day.

The trip was awesome, exciting and fantastic.
