Our assembly

It was our turn to host assembly. LC 1 showed their kowhaiwhai patterns, LC 2 shared a photo story about their recycled creations they made with Kay. LC 9 showed us their trip to Christchurch's unique gap fillers and also the found rat babies in the compost. Ewwwwww!  Finally LC 10 shared how to make a worn farm from fizzy bottles.

We also sung a beautiful waiata that we will sing at our Marae visits shortly.

FABULOUS RECYCLED CREATIONS

The Pukeko team has been lucky to have had visits this term from Kaye of Zero Waste, who has been teaching us all about re-using objects in new ways, as a way to reduce or avoid waste. One of the awesome activities we did was design our own creation using re-used materials, such as plastic milk bottles, cans, old bottle lids, etc. We had such fun planning and making our creations! What do you think of the end results?

Look at this great pig, designed and made by William.

Jess was thrilled with her fun creation!

Ruby loves the superb lion she has designed.

Kohbyn was proud of his super creation!

Matthew designed an amazing creation!

Emma created a wonderful bunny.

Don't you love Eliza's clever horse?

James and his incredible rocket pencil tin.

Masterchef Fun!

On Friday, children were able to come to school dressed up with  Masterchef theme. There were

Fabulous Masterchefs Ted Ward, Max Spence

 and Mckenzie Hoskins

The colourful chefs of LC2

lots of aprons and spatulas and whisks. Some children went all out with their costumes and looked as if they really belongs in a professional kitchen, with people saying "Yes, chef" to them!

Zero Waste

Kay Marsh visited us from the City Council to help us explore how we can reduce our rubbish. 

An old pair of jeans turned into a bag! Imagine a library book bag made out of your old jeans!

A tin can phone? How could this work?

Kay told us that for all the rubbish created by all us New Zealanders for 1 month it could fill one rugby field wide

and 30 stories high! That is a lot of rubbish!!

How do you reduce rubbish at your home? Comment below to go in the draw for 2 KC coupons, 1 team player and 1 thinker!
