Kiwi tucker

Here are some of our finds:

Wood lice

But maybe only enough for one kiwi meal!

Lots of planting...

It's tree-planting time of year... so the whole school headed off to Streamlands Suffolks, the farm of our Trees for Survival sponsors, Karyn and Sue.

We had a great day planting the trees we have been raising over the past year, with great supporting help from parents, plus 'volunteers' Karyn and Sue had invited along, and of course Shelley co-ordinating us.

Flynn found a rather long worm....

...and more...

And more!

Waicare and BBQ!

We also included an activity session with Wai Care, looking at how clean the farm's stream water was, and how many little creatures lived in those streams...

Then we finished of with a wonderful bbq, for everyone who helped!

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a success.

Garden planning on a wet day!

It was such a cold and stormy day today that we couldn't get out in the garden, so we took the opportunity to talk about drawing plans, and all the things we would include in an amazing garden.... And then set to work with the paper and pens!

At the end of the sessions we were able to share lots of ideas for growing, eating and playing areas: great imagination everyone!
