Inquiry project adapted to survive

This term we have been doing an inquiry project about an animal that has adapted to survive.
Some people have worked on snakes, komodo dragons, dolphins, crocodiles, penguins, sharks and more. We are writing an information report that's about the appearance, habitat, protection, food and reproduction of the animal. We will share them with you soon.

Harolds bus

For those of you who don't know Harold is a talking giraffe who lives in a bus . He teachers you about life education .He travels from school to school. You never know he might teach at your school . You never know what he is going to teach you. He taught us about friendship and how to know what a good friend looks like. (Amy,Tyla,Logan)

A new song

Lyn was here :-)

Hello!!  I am sharing some skills with you about blogging.

Our Artwork of In the Beginning

Here is some of our art . . .

In the Beginning - Rangi and Papa

We have shared the story "In the Beginning" and we completed an art piece from the story.
We learnt how the legend tells of how there was just darkness, and Ranginui, Sky Father, and Papatuanuku, Earth Mother, had many children.
The children were tired of being cramped in the dark and they decided to push their parents apart.

Tanemahuta was able to push them apart and he then clothed his mother in trees and birds. Tane was guardian of the forest, Tangaroa became guardian of the sea, Tawhirimatea became god of the winds and Tumetauenga was guardian of war and peace.

Hello to my new visitors
