Birds! Birds! Birds!






We are studying about native birds. We are learning lots and lots of new things. We started our study with a trip to Natureland where Imo taught us about what makes birds special. Later that week Eden's Mum brought in their king parrot called Boid. He liked visiting our class and was grumpy when Sue took him home. Eden wrote about king parrots (see the photos) and told us all about Boid.
On Friday we made our bird feeders which we had designed. We hung them outside and some birds came and ate the seed we put out. We have also written reports about birds.
Now we have our own pet bird in our classroom. He (or she) is a baby cockatiel and we are going to name him (or her) later this week. It is so exciting having our own pet bird. Today some of us read stories to him (or her).
We hope you enjoy our photos about birds.

Triathlon


On Friday, March 13th our school all took part in a triathlon. The older children ran, biked and swam but we just ran and swam. We all did so well. It was a fun day.

School trip


Last Friday the whole school got on board 6 buses to travel to Rabbit Island. We had an awesome time. We made sand sculptures, went for a walk and swam in the sea. After lunch we had lots of different games including a huge earthball.
