Making Waka

This week one of our reading groups and to read and follow the instructions on how to make a waka. We used flax sticks, wire and cardboard. It was hard to translate the instructions into practice. Thank you so much to Gary for cutting and shaping our flax sticks and to Pamela for patiently re-reading the instructions and helping with the wire.

We took them out for a race - and to check they floated. They were awesome!!!!!

The Slytheirn Slug!!!

Check this out!! This is the slug that was in the paper at the weekend - he came to school today to visit us. At a stretch he got out to 16cm long. We decided to call him Bob for the day.

We learnt that he is not good to have in New Zealand because he eats so fast that he can destroy our plants. He is a tiger slug.

Y 3/4 Sports Spectacular

Last Wednesday Year 3 and 4 went to Southbrook Park for a fun day of sports. There were over 600 children there from many schools in North Canterbury. It was a fantastic day that was well organised and we got to try so many sports. There was even a tug of war - children verse teachers/parents.
