Our Trip to TeAna




On Monday 13 June we went to TeAna. We learnt that a long time ago when Maori people lived on the coast they used to travel up the river to get kai. Sometimes they took shelter in caves. They used ground up rock mixed with weka oil to make paint to paint on the caves walls. Some of these pictures are still on the cave walls hundreds of years later!

Billy the Bus

We had a great time driving around Timaru on the bus. We learnt to use the Metro card, to walk on the bus safely and find a seat. We had to look out for bus stops on our journey.

Tree Planting

We were so pleased when Mrs Vincent and her class came down to help us plant two new trees outside our classroom. This was so cool because the trees help our school environment to look beautiful. It was Matakaea's idea to plant a tree at school. What a great idea Matakaea!

Bright Stanley




We are learning about collage for art. We read the story Bright Stanley then decided he would be a great subject for our art. We painted Bright Stanley's body and the sea and then we used lots of shiny papers to decorate his scales.
Max and Claudia we love your Bright Stanley pictures. To see more of these great pictures come to Room 21!

Our School Environment

We used the Yellow Thinking Hat to think of the Good Points about our school environment.
  • We take our rubbish home so there is no rubbish in our playground.
  • We have got lots of places to play - a sandpit, the igloo, the little adventure playground, the big adventure playground, the little field, the big field and the courts.
  • We have lots of big trees which are nice for the birds. They give us shade too. They make our school look awesome.
  • We have special places to store the bikes, scooters and skateboards.
  • We have the New Zealand flag flying.
  • We have lots of beautiful gardens.
  • We have drinking fountains.
  • We have art around our school to make it look interesting and pretty.
  • We have a worm farm so that we can recycle our food scraps.
