F is for Farm

WOW - what an amazing day it has been.  Such a great visit to the Dairy Farm in Upper Hutt.  We've had a really great experience today - be sure to ask your child to share their adventures with you.

Thanks so much to the parents who came and helped, we couldn't have managed without your support.

I expect that all the children will sleep well tonight!!

Here are a couple of photo's to start your conversations...


Heading into the Calving Sheds


We touched and patted, watched and observed, and some kids got to feed the 2 week old calves by bottle.


We walked up to the paddock to see the 200 milking cows in their paddocks.


We took a good look at the milking machines to see how they worked.


We were ready for lunch and so grateful that the weather was on our side today.


It was a long bus ride there and back, but that's half the fun..... right!!

J is for Jan

Welcome back to the first week of term.  Hard to believe we are in the last term for the year!

This week we wrote stories about our wonderful librarian Jan.  They will be entered in a competition at the Children's Bookshop.

All the students thought hard about the great things Jan does to make our Library so awesome.  It is one of our favourite places to go.  They also worked hard to publish their stories.  Well done Room 6.
