Well done to Nicole, Sophie, Sara J, Miranda, Mylan and Neerav!!!  You are all indeed WONDERFUL gardeners.

Dear ____________________________

THANK YOU for volunteering to look after Room 16s “Little Garden” plants over the coming holidays.

The tiny seedlings will need a little water, lots of love and regular talks over the two weeks.  Please look after them as follows:

• Place the pot on a clean saucer in a place with enough light, but not directly in the sun.
• Check the soil in the morning, and before bed.  If the soil feels dry and crumbly pour a small amount of water over the surface.
• If you see a little plant appear from the soil, well done!  The seeds have germinated and will be ready soon to move into a bigger pot or garden.  Do not touch the little plant as it is very delicate.
• Ask Mum or Dad if you can take a photo of the plant and email it to Whaea so she can let the rest of the class know we have it.  Whaea’s email is tearanic@sunnyhills.school.nz

I am very excited to see which flowers we have (Sunflower, Pansy, Purple Tansy or Sweet Pea).  Remember you can email me at any time (I will be checking them every day)

Please do not get worried or upset if nothing grows or if the wee seedlings do not survive.  Remember that is the circle of life and we can always try again.

Enjoy your holidays my wonderful budding botanists/gardeners…...happy growing!!!!!!

Get NZ Writing

Over the last 2 weeks we have been taking part in the Warehouse Stationery "Get NZ Writing"

The class we will be swapping our writing with is Room 7 a Year 3/4 class from Fenwick School in Oamaru.

Today Marco Sienna and Kiralee did a search on our Chrome books to find out about our buddy class and school.  Sienna found out they have blue uniforms like us.

Kiralee found out that they have Cameras and I PADS in their classrooms.  Marco found they had a swimming pool and have 13 classrooms while we have 22.

We have learnt about adjectives and metaphors for our postcards and completed our class poster.

This afternoon we will be delivering our package to the office for the courier to pick up tomorrow.

We can't wait for our parcel to arrive!!!!!
