A Day At The Zoo

We have been learning about predators and preys. We were very fortunate to see the awesome animals at the zoo especially because we have learned a lot about whether they are hunted or the hunters.

All we had to do was observe how the animals acted. We noticed different things including their interaction with other animals. How they treated each other.

The lion den was a class favourite!

The otters were sleeping most of the time but we were able to catch a glimpse of them at one point.

Giraffe drinking water.

These baboons were also a favourite. This was more funny behavior displayed by the baboons.

The seal was awesome. In this beautiful blue home we were able to see the seal swim and eat food.

Learning about the friendly island of Tonga

Malo lelei , we have just completed an awesome inquiry topic - Tonga! It has been very interesting investigating the unique Tongan culture. These are some of the traditional foods from the Kingdom of Tonga. A lot of us have tried it for the first time today and wow did we love it!

We had some visitors that have also studied this inquiry topic.

Kain looks like he's enjoying that lu sipi and talo.

It was definitely a new and different meal from what some of us normally have. I hope everyone enjoyed it!

Malia, Joanlisi and Mary-Ruth brought some beautiful colourful outfits to celebrate the occassion.

Kicking off term 2!

We're back..

It's been an awesome start to the term. We're ready to learn! We're ready to create! We're even more ready to share! So look forward to an exciting term. With our inquiry topic being on Tonga we will have a lot of exciting new learning visible soon. We have science and arts to share! We also have our kiwi sport football starting week 2...

Did you hear about our zoooooooo trip?

We had an awesome day full of learning and excitement. We got to see a lot of animals including, elephants, tigers, lions, red pandas and other interesting animals. We learned that hippos are very good swimmers and can hold their breath under water for a very very long time. We've been learning a lot in class about the different animals so seeing them face to face made learning more exciting.
