Our Most Amazing Machine

We have had a great start to Term 3. We are all excited about our new inquiry topic.

We will be discovering what our body is made up of and what it can do.

We have already started to wonder and make discoveries about how our body works. We think it is an absolutely amazing machine!

We would love you to join us on our learning journey.

Welcome to Term 3!

Hi!

I hope you have all had a wonderful time with your family during the past two weeks. I am really looking forward to a fun term of learning. We have lots of exciting learning opportunities ahead of us. See you all back at school on Monday 19th July.

Our Visit to Mt Bruce

We had a fantastic day visiting Mt Bruce Wildlife Centre. The day was packed with wonderful learning opportunities and many highlights. We loved viewing the Takahe and Kakariki. We fed the ducks and the huge hungry eels. The Kaka feeding time was amazing. We watched the Kaka busily swoop in and out collecting their food which was made up of corn, fruit, porridge, dates and cheese. One of our dads took some wonderful photos. Enjoy our slideshow.
