Mini Olympics

All the year 1s gathered together for a Mini Olympics on Thursday. It was great because we got to do dribbling, throwing, catching, running and high jumps. The rain stayed away so all the classes got around to try the different sports. 

Here are some photos of some of the events. 

Clown Day!

All the year 1 children had a clown day in their classroom today. It was a lot of fun. We got to get our face painted from our own face painting designs and we got to dress up in bright vibrant clown colours. It was so exciting and great fun! Here some of photos of the day. 

 

Going to the zoo and a visitor from treescape

We went on a year 1 trip to the zoo and learnt more about the endangered Native birds we have in New Zealand. 

We got to touch and look closely at some of the worst predators to our Native New Zealand birds. We learnt that the worst predator is the dog.

We also found out that there are a lot more endangered Native New Zealand birds than we realised and that there are some special people in New Zealand making areas that are fenced off and safe for them to be in their natural habitat without the danger of being killed and having their eggs eaten. 

We had Jo Harris from treescape come in and share some information about an area that has being set up that is going to be safe for Kiwi’s to be introduced into. We learnt that there is a lot to consider when setting up these areas. They must be as a close to the birds natural habitat as possible and area where no pests and predators can come in.
