I found a problem for Young innovators and it was feeding my cat. Look at the picture to see what I did.

The Aquarium

While we were on camp in Dunedin we went to the Otago university Aquarium.  Were Josie and Steve showed us around we got to touch and see all these different things such as star Fish, Sea Anemones, Crabs, Fish, Coral, Sea Slugs and and sea cucumbers.  We also went in a submarine we went to the very bottom of the sea and saw lots of different creatures.  But the most memorable moment was dissecting the Spiky Dog Shark.  Crazy Steve decided that it would be funny to freak all of us out by biting the Sharks skin to show us how strong the skin was.  It was good to try something different even though not everyone wanted to do that.  We all had lots of fun and if we had the opportunity to go back we would!

Polar Plunge - freezing for a reason

On the 22^nd June 2014 there was the annual Polar Plunge at Lake Te Anau.  

After registration we all got prepared for the plunge, we had to wait a while. Before we jump in photos are taken and best dressed are chosen. As our celebrity volunteers plunge we find out who earned the most amount of sponsors, which was Jessica Barnes and Samantha Powell. They got to lead the Year 6s into the freezing water. Once we were out everyone else clambered into the lake. Once we get warm we get a sausage and a hot chocolate. Then are the spot prizes.  Once this is done everyone starts going home.

Te Anau School Hangi

On the third of July Te Anau School had a hangi to celebrate the end of their Matariki topic. Over Term 2 we all did lots of art through out the classes. At the start of the term Room 12 was put in charge of digging the hangi. Over a few weeks we completed it. It was hard work. When the day came for our hangi it was cancelled but Redcliff restaurant kindly cooked our vegetables and Dale’s hangi team cooked the meat on BBQs. We also sang songs like at a traditional Matariki celebration.

We had some food once we sang our songs. Yum Yum. We had lots of different varieties of food like root vegetables and meat. We reckon the best one were the chops. Once we finished eating our parents looked through the classes. What a day. But it wouldn’t have been possible with out the parents, Dale’s team, the teachers, Redcliff, Kiwi Holiday Park for donating their place, Mr Rush and all the children.
