Green Week- Bee Proactive

This week we have been learning about the AMAZING invertebrate the BEE. Room 6 students have been busy worker bees, and our classroom has become a HIVE of activity. Please enjoy viewing this presentation that contains our learning focus and some student work.

Hamburger planning

This term we are learning how to write a information report. Our inquiry focus is Invertebrates, so we have been learning about the different types and we will choose one to write about.

Here is a look at how we plan for our writing.

Congratulations to Rekshan & Herbie!!!

Rekshan and Herbie received a special Principals certificate today for showing Manaakitanga, Manaawanuitanga and stepping up to support Helen in the library.

So proud of these two students, who are great role models for their peers.

Hiwi the Kiwi

This week we had a visit from the FANTASTIC Mr and Mrs Minstrel. They helped us to understand how we can;

• Be safe while fishing on a boat- ALWAYS WEAR A LIFE JACKET!!!
• The importance of measuring our fish to ensure that they are the LEGAL size. Fish that are too small or to big should be returned to our ocean so that they can breed (sustainability).
• Always use a wet towel when handling fish. This helps to protect their scales. Consider fish scales to be like our sun block.
• The dangers of plastic and the negative effects it has on our birds and sea life.

We all learnt a lot from this show. Thanks so much to Mr & Mrs Minstrel for the information and entertainment.
