Fletcher's RC Car

 

Fletcher has been busy driving his remote control car around outside. It looks pretty powerful Fletcher. I wonder how fast it can go.....Do you have races with other people in your family? I think you said you have got a few of these at your place? What a great way to get outside and keep active while you are home!

Ryka Out Riding!

Wow Ryka look at you on that bike! Looking awesome! 

Ryka's bee work

Look at the fantastic acrostic poem that Ryka has shared with us. I can tell that he has learnt lots about bees and the important role they play in helping our food to grow - and making honey of course! I love your illustration too Ryka. I can see the bee's three body parts - can you remember what they are called?
Tino pai tau mahi Ryka!

 

Bye Bye Stinging Nettle

A big thank you to everyone who brought newspaper to school for our garden, and to Heze's mum who brought some balage from the farm to lay on top of the newspaper. Hopefully now we have blocked out the light and the air that the stinging nettle plants need to grow, so they won't be able to grow back. Won't it be great if we can work in the garden without worrying about getting stung by stinging nettle! 

Weston's Work

Here is a photo of Weston's logging truck he built, with off cuts in the shed, then painted. Didn't he make a great job of it! Maybe when we get back to school you could help us make something like that at the carpentry table Weston.

 

Love your bee learning Lucy!

 

Lucy shared this detailed picture of a honey bee out pollinating flowers and some information about why we need to protect bees so they can keep doing their important job. Tino pai Lucy!

 

Hello from Jerry and Dory!

 

I had a catch up with Jerry and Dory yesterday. They are doing well and happy to looking after our classroom while we are away. They enjoyed their lunch yesterday when I saw them and I will make sure they are getting fed regularly! Do you think they will miss us? I wonder if they have noticed how quiet it is in Room Tangaroa......What do you think?
