Water topic

Today, we had a visit from a worker at niwa, Mike. He showed us how he measures the level and temperature of the lake and sends the results to labs to be tested. afterwords, we went to a more swampy part of the lake to find critters that live in those environments.

Here are some photos of our discoveries:

Book Character Week

In the first week of term, our school had book-week. throughout the week, teachers from the other classes came and read us books after lunch. on Friday we got to dress up as our favourite book characters. I dressed up as Tintin and my sister dressed up as Snowy, his dog.

Here are some pictures of our costumes:

Here are all of the book characters
