Yesterday  it  was  pet day and it was in Wyndham show grounds. I brought  a smooth , cute but scattery  Guinea  pig . I also brought a crazy fruit and vege and it was a potato man. I had  to cut  and carve to  get  it finished  )Pieces of potato went everywhere! Mum said "stop making a big mess!' .finally it was finished, my fat potato man with all of the veges on it. I had to catch my guinea pig but he was to fast for me so I had to corner her but finally I caught her then we went to pet day.
 I had  a look at the other  animals  in   the   cages . Then  I   was  judged  on  my  animal   and  then on my  crazy fruit and vege and I was was excited becauseI got a ribbon and it was blue . Then I went home with my guineaa pig.

We're going on a BUG Hunt!

On Thursday afternoon we went on a bug hunt.  Our inquiry this term is all about mini-beasts so we hoped we would find some around the school.  We looked under logs, sticks, bushes, trees, and
in gardens.  Look what we found!
 

 

Reflection

We have been making symmetrical patterns and learning about reflection for maths.

Playing shops!

We know have a mini New World Shop in our class.  We would love a cash register if anyone has one they don't use any more!

Look what's in our room!

Our inquiry wall has been taken over by....... minibeats!   Spiders, snails, frogs, worms, beetles, butterflies and other little creepie crawlies can be seen on the wall in Team Pukeko. They are there because we are learning about the wonderful living world of minibeasts.

This week we learnt that minibeasts don't have a back bone or internal skeleton.  We also learnt that spiders are not insects!  They are Arachnids!  Did you know the largest spider in the world is the Goliath Bird Eating Spider?

We made spiders out of egg cartons.  We shared them at assembly and told the school interesting spider facts.
