Orana Park

27/11/16

What a fantastic trip we had to Orana Park last week.  The day was beautiful, although it did get a bit hot towards the end. Special thanks to Tracy, Lin, Laura and Jim who were our Parent \Helpers for the day.  We hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did. Thank you also to Elaine who was our Zoo Teacher.

The animals were hot and sleepy but it was fun feeding the giraffes and we were all excited to see the gorillas outside playing on their climbing frame.

Animal habitats

Making Lolly Cake

Our Strand maths unit was Measurement this term and we focussed on weight.  To finish the unit we joined with Room 4 and made Lolly Cake. Everyone had fun sharing the tasks and all got to enjoy eating the finished cake.  We made plenty and were able to eat some the next week as well.

Good start to the term

Here we are nearly half way through the term.  The children enjoyed their two weeks of swimming at Aquagym at the start of the term and they all made great progress.  Thanks to the parents who came along to watch their children swim.
