Room 28's Garden

Today Room 28 transplanted some rhubarb plants from the Enviro garden.  Mrs Andrews cut off some rhubarb sticks for Miss Grant to bake something for Room 28 with.  I wonder what it might be??  Apple and rhubarb pie, rhubarb and apple crumble, rhubarb cake or something else.  If you have any great rhubarb recipes Miss Grant would love to have them.

Here is Noah planting the first plant.

Janet planted number 2.

Poihaere planted number 3.

Vico planted the last rhubarb plant.
I wonder what else we could plant in our wonderful garden to look after, water and eat.

Spring is here

Last week we had ICT with Mr McLay.

Our goal was to create a video about spring time. The weekend was beautiful and we all felt our earth was finally warming up after a pretty wet winter.

The first thing we did was learn how to get pictures from the internet and put our names, arrows and labels on them.  We didn't quite get to the labels. Never mind.

of the things we see in spring

Next we discussed what things we all found in our photos.

Then, we went over to the school hall and Mr. McLay filmed us walking in front of the big blue screen Mr. Maindonald put up on the wall.  We looked at what another class had done and we pretended we were walking through our photographs.  Take a look at AJ's walk through spring.

There were 2 chimneys ......


The chimneys need to come down but how will they come down ????

Our predictions are:
"I think they are going to take the chimneys down with a BIG hammer" said AJ.
"I think they will get his crane" said Joseph.
"I think the crane is going to knock the chimneys down" said Noah.
" I think they are going to smash the chimneys down with a big hammer" said Dallas.
" I think they are going to saw the chimneys.  They are taking them to make it safe" said Nathan.
"I think a crane is going to pull the chimneys off the roof" said Mariya.

Here are photos of what happened......
































And now there is no chimneys.
