The Brain

Kia Ora Whanau, 
This term we have been learning about 'The Brain'. Today, we decided to plan our ideas with words to help us write sentences about the brain.
Check out some of our writing.

Writing Experience

Hello family and friends.
On Monday our school was on lockdown. It was a very scary experience for us. We all had to get under a table where we stayed until it was safe to come out. We did some writing about it on Tuesday. 
Check out some of our writing.

Feeding the Pigs and Chicken

Talofa Lava
In week 2 our class got to feed and look after our pigs and chickens. We have 2 pigs - Percy and Hettie and 2 chickens.
When we were feeding our animals we found a beetroot and passion fruits growing in our garden. We have never seen a beetroot or a passionfruit before so we were really excited. Whaea Lena told us we could pick the fruits to eat. We didn't want to try the beetroot because it looked funny but we wanted to eat the passionfruit. Miss Manuele had to show us how to eat it. 

Here are some photos of our adventure.
