School tryathlon

Back when we were at school we had a tryathlon on the bottom field.  All the kids had to cycle for 2 laps, then swim 2 laps of the pool and lastly run 2 laps of the bottom field.

I ran on the race on the bottom field.  Everyone clapped when I finished.

PASSION PROJECT:

they can hurt our native animals

we cut out plastic bottles to put over the top of the trap to keep our chickens and dogs safe

then my dad nails it to the grass so it does not move

Xavier's Home learning

Just a couple things we have done.

The kiwi and penguins 

A lot a drawing 

We went for a walk learning native trees and Xavier can identify Totara, Punga Fern trees we are working on more and also is identifying paspalum grass.
We also saw a Kereru and have started learning about native birds.

Xavier and the bees

We were reading about bees as I know the class did this a while ago but anyway we went and visited some hives out the back of our land. 

Xavier loves it but we must be careful not to get stung as they will hurt.....as Xavier says.
