WILD WEATHER!

One Monday afternoon, straight after lunch, the Pukeko Team lined up... none of us knew what we were doing. Ms McKendry was dressed up in winter clothes and so was Mrs Cider. Mrs Coster was dressed in Hawaiian clothes; she had flowers around her neck!

We looked around, inside all the Pukeko Team rooms... we went to Ngaio and it was all about some of the hottest places in the world. Some places looked pretty hot, like Moon Valley and Death Valley. It was sweating hot in there, it was 30 degrees!  We watched a little video clip; it was about the equator. In some place no green plants grew, but there is still water and some flamingos living there.

Next we went to the cold room, Rimu, with Mrs Cider. We talked about the coldest places. There were questions and computers and a video about snowboarders and animals that live in the cold. Also, they had stacked up the chairs and put white blankets over them, so they looked like icebergs. There was paper and vivids to write winter weather words, and I wrote blizzard.

After that we went to Ti Kouka, we talked about wind. It was very windy! We watched a video of some bad weather. There were floods and bad happenings. I wouldn’t like to live in that kind of weather.  We had pieces of paper with pictures and sticky notes. We had to write our ideas about what weather is and how it happens. We had turns in front of the industrial fan. It was really fun!
