Year 5's tent day

The Year 5's didn't let a bit of rain stop them from putting up their tents. They used the hall and cooked up their hot chocolates all inside.





Year 6's trip to Milford Sound

Lucky Year 6's got a cruise from Cruise Milford on Friday. A flat tyre didn't stop us, we had a great time.

The Brain

The University of Otago came to visit us with a giant brain today. We got to hear about how our brains work. Fascinating stuff!

Experiment time

Today we had an interchange in the seniors. In Room 12 we looked at what happens when you add different liquids to red cabbage juice. Ask us what happened.

Garden Preparation


We have been preparing our garden area to grow some vegetables. We loosened up the soil to make it easier for the vegetables to grow.  We pulled out as many weeds as we could so that they don't overtake our vegetables. We also tidied up the worm farm because it was a bit messy and the worms were having trouble processing our scraps.

We will soon plant some potatoes, peas and carrots. We have put our potatoes out to sprout. We are doing a little experiment to see where the best place to sprout them is. We are trying the hot water cupboard (warm and dark), the window sill (warm and light) and the art bay cupboard (dark and cool).

We will update you with our progress.
