Plants that are magnets to butterflies

YouTube is a great tool if you want to find an answer to something. We are looking at gardens that attract butterflies. Joley found hundreds over wintering on one tree.

Decisions, decisions, decisions

Where are we to put our butterfly garden? Here are some spots we thought might be a good place

Disco

Thanks to all our parents who helped make our first disco of the year a big sucess. A whopping 182 Pukeko and Moas turned up and I was very impressed with the behaviour of all of our Pukeko team children. I even got to have a few dances with some of them. 

I have to get some of those flashing rings they would look great at Zumba! : )

Apologies for the grainy photos and if you have better quality ones please email them through to kerry@westmelton.school.nz

Cross Country

We had our run through of the 2014 cross country course today

Fingers crossed this fine weather holds up for Tuesday 13th of May. 

We have our official Pukeko Team photographer extrodinaire, Lucy taking action snaps. Lucy will be more mobile with her cast coming off on Monday (it's a very cute cast might I add). 

Good luck Pukekos!
