EOTC Week

This week is our EOTC (Education Outside The Classroom) week.  What a start we have had!  We began by painting around some stormwater drains to remind everyone at our school that whatever enters these drains, ends up in the sea.  We want to keep our seas healthy and clean - Healthy Seas, Healthy People (the theme of this year's seaweek).

What a beautiful octopus - well done girls!

What a colourful shark - excellent team work boys!

Science in Room 2

Room 2 loves learning about science!  This term, we are using our observation and thinking skills to find about our natural and living environment.  We have a classroom swan plant and a monarch caterpillar, which has turned into a pupa (or chrysalis).  We also have a classroom kumara and we are observing how it has changed over the past 2 weeks.  Have a look at our photos below...

We are having a closer look at our swan plant, caterpillars and chrysalis.
