Bush Builders at the Wellington Zoo

Last Thursday we had our Bush Builders launch at the Wellington Zoo.  We started the day discussing the conservation of the Blue Penguin, drawing our conservation ideas on the concrete and leaving our hand print on a blue penguin.  We then did some planting in an area of the zoo, something that we can visit in the future.  Next, we followed a map to find points in the zoo where there was information about conservation.  We then got to meet and touch Stonehenge, a tuatara.  After lunch, we had discovery time throughout the zoo before heading back to school.  What a great day!

Character Day

Wow!  We had a wonderful last day of Term 2 dressing-up as characters from movies or books.  We also got to complete a quiz about characters, listen to the teachers read their favourite picture books and participate in a school parade.  Mr Scott was extremely impressed by the amount of children and staff that dressed-up for this event and participated in all of the events with enthusiasm.  Congratulations to John and Maisy for winning the best dressed boy and girl from Room 8.
