Eco Warrior Electives

Hi everyone,

We've had another great Electives session today!

Here are some photos of us making alfalfa potato pets.

 First we had to cut a rectangle in the top of the potato...

 Then we decorated our potato so it turned into some kind of animal...

 Then we wet some cotton wool, put it in the hole and sprinkled alfalfa seeds on top.

The moisture in the potato means we don't have to water our seeds. In a few days they will sprout.

Welcome back to Term 4

Tena koutou katoa,

Welcome back to our Term 4 blog, it's so good to have you here with us!

We're all a bit tired today as we had such a ball yesterday, running, hopping and jumping about at the school athletics.  The three legged race, egg and spoon, lily pad jumping and the sack race were firm  favourites.

However, today has been super fine aswell because after Writing this morning, we had Te Reo where we learnt to ask how someone was and to answer.  Kei te pehea koe? (How are you?)

Kei te hiamoe ahau. (I am sleepy.)
Kei te koa au.           (I am happy.)
Kei te hiakai au.       (I am hungry.)

We also learnt to ask where someone was from and to answer.

No whea koe?   (Where are you from?)

No Te-Whanganui-a-Tara ahau.  (I'm from Wellington.)
No Haina ahau.    (I'm from China.)

After morning tea we had our first session of Choosing Thursday - our electives, an in a minute we're heading out again for Kapa Haka! Whew, we sure needed our milk today!

Keep watching our blog please... we'll be publishing more stories soon.  We've been writing some really neat ones about our grandparents.

Ka kite ano,
