Our flag Referendum

Today in class we had a discussion about the current New Zealand Referendum. Some of us were excited that our flag could change while others wanted to keep the current flag.

We opened the letter with our teacher and looked at the different brochures. We then had the chance to place our votes and placed them in our post box. 

Once all of the votes were posted we opened the box and counted them up

The results were very interesting and made for great discussion.

Duffy Theatre

Jumping with excitement the children raised their voices yelling "yay".

The Duffy Theatre came all the way from busy Auckland with its 3 actors. It was a great experience.

They did a unique show about a young Duffy going back in time to save Ruby's dad who was fighting in World War 2. Duffy wanted to save her dad so she could read.

Thank you Duffy Theartre for an awesome show.

Te mata,   KATI.

Preparing our garden

Friday afternoon B1 went to the back of the school to prepare our garden beds.


We started by weeding the gardens by using the garden forks to get at the surface and feeding the chickens the plants that had gone to seed.



Next we watered the garden and tidied the garden up.  

We are now ready to plant our garden with the plants we received from The Plant Place.

Our Garden

Yesterday we received a batch of plants from The Plant Place. Mr. Munroe popped down to collect them, at lunch time. We are so excited to be able to plant the vegetables into our gardens. We want to say thank you to Bruce at The Plant Place and well be planting the vegetables soon.
