Here is something Kalia whipped up in her spare time- a Powerpoint about Oil Spills! Nice one, Kals. 🙂
Neil and Mark visited us from Maritime NZ. They clean up oil spills. We found out that the oil STINKS! Check out our pictures from this exciting visit:
Here is a website Neil has told us about, if you want to learn more!
Over the past two weeks CS11 and CS12 have been making waka. We used bamboo, sticks, string, and wire. They sunk mostly, but it was fun.

CS11, plus the whole school, are learning about keeping ourselves safe!
We have learned that whenever somebody knocks at the door, or rings you on a phone, LEAVE IT TO AN ADULT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yesterday Echo visited the back field for the first time. It was very exciting! We collected twigs and leaves and made him a hut.
Today, people can write about Echo in their personal journals. Here is Echo at the computer where we publish our stories.
Echo also got some new toys today. He has a new running ball, and a construction set to make him a wooden playground that he can run on and chew. Chris has also built him a tower with ramps in it. Echo loves it!
