Rainforest Thinking Skills

We wrote using the Black Hat, Yellow Hat and White Hat. The Black Hat is for the 'bad' points, the Yellow Hat is for the 'good' points and the White Hat is for writing facts.  Below are photos of the best piece of work chosen by our Bloggers of the Week.
 
Black Hat - What are all the things that can destroy the rainforest?
 
Yellow Hat - What are all the good things that a rainforest gives us?

 
White Hat - What are the facts? List as many facts as you can about the rainforest.

Week 7 Bloggers


Our New Enviro Centre

A week ago our new Enviro Centre opened.  There were lots of trees planted at the Treemendous Makeover.  There are feijoa, lemon, orange, plum, and peach trees.  There are bamboo plants and other native New Zealand plants.

Now we can walk along the paths and down steps to enjoy learning about the new plants.  At the bottom there is a clearing that we can camp on.  There is a wetlands area under the clearing that we can follow the steps down to. There are signs telling people where stuff is.

There is a lookout we can stand on to look over the Enviro Centre. There is a new fence protecting the area.

Have a look at the photos of our new Enviro Centre below.

Booboo and JM's Adventure

Me and Booboo went on a long car trip.  We played on my friend's ipod. We had a hot chocolate and bacon and egg muffins.  We saw Mystery Creek.  Once we got there, there was already 100s and 1000s of cars parked.  When we were inside the Field Days we bought some clothing, We saw a big dual wheel tractor. We sat on a ride on go-kart that had a toilet on it. It even had toilet paper!  We had a photo with Michael the Food Truck guy.

Booboo also went to my birthday party.  We went down the turbo hydro slide at the Aquatic Centre, we went in the waves and in the spa pool.  Then we went home to have some food.  The saveloys disappeared so fast.  My cake was Treasure Island.  We had to see if we could find the treasure.  The treasure was M & M's!

We had a great adventure and have a look at our photos below!

Week 5 Boggers


Read the stories below to find out about the Koru Landing Opening and Room 6 learning to juggle.

Juggling

In Room 6 we have been learning to juggle. We made our own juggling balls in the colours that we liked. We got a balloon and put rice in it.  Then we used two more layers of balloons to cover the first balloon. We cut little holes in the side to make them spotty. It was very fun making juggling balls.  There were heaps of colours.  We need to keep practicing to get perfect!
 
Blowing up the balloon first.

Koru Landing Opening

We are very grateful to have the Koru Landing as it is so much fun to play on. We are glad that we have the Koru Landing there because no one used to play in the area. Lots of children have been playing. We would like to thank Jeremy and his workers for building us the Koru Landing.  We would like to thank Helen as well for designing such a cool place for us to play.

Boo's Amazing Adventure


Disney on Ice is Amazing
On Friday, me and my friend Sylvia went to Auckland. There’s a lot to tell you so I’m just going to tell you about my favourite part.  My favourite bit was Disney on Ice because there were really cool bits like when the dragon put fire on the ice!  It was real fire but Linda saw someone putting it out.  At the end of the show Tinkerbell came up in a carriage and fireworks came out!
 
Look at the photos below to see what Booboo did!  He got to see Disney on Ice, wear a crown, go to the swimming pools, and play with a chicken!

Week 4 Bloggers

 
 
Hanging out in the tree with Booboo. 

Te Rewa Rewa Bridge Walk and Swim


 

Everyone was excited when we got off the bus. We all gathered to learn about the whale bone bridge facts. We got more excited when we started to walk. We also saw a spoonbill when we started walking. We saw a huge crowd of seagulls come flying past us. Then we walked 2.5k to the skating rink to have a break. Then we had lunch and saw a duck show. Then we walked  even more, to the Aquatic Centre. Then we went to get changed to have an hour swim. After the long swim we went on the playground to have fun and wait for the others to get changed. Then we went on the bus back. We were disappointed to be going home because we had such a fun time.
 
We hope you enjoy!!!
