Interesting Worm Facts

We have been investigating interesting facts about worms this week.

Check out our favourite worm website:

Earthworms make homes all day.  Earthworms live underground. 
 They eat fruit skins.  They are scared of birds because birds eat them. 
 Earthworms have cold blood.  They have five hearts.  
The biggest worm was found in America.  Sujay


They also have lungs but not the same as us and
 they don't have legs or arms.  They like to eat compost.

They have stripes on their body and they wriggle.  I like the part when they built a worm house and they put vegetables in it.  Denver 

Waikato Winter Show

Room 15 boarded the  school bus excited to be travelling to this years Waikato Winter Show.
The Winter show has been thrilling children and adults for many years. Maybe our mums and dads went along when they were children, you may wish to ask them?

The Waikato show celebrates the community and all the great things we do.

Lets take a look around

Geese and Turkeys

Funky Monkey Dance

Hey who's that on the stage
its the Funky Monkeys oh yeah
Lets take a stroll outside
smell the candy floss and hear the rides
What's that noise coming from around the corner
oh my it's sheep, donkeys, goats and alpaca
Lot's of people here and there
Laughing, smiling, everywhere.

My favourite part was the earthquake bits.  I'm never going to visit my aunty in Christchurch because they had an earthquake.  I went on stage.  Courtney

On Friday we went to the show.  I liked the Funky Monkeys because when the kids came on the stage Chris said  "can you do something?"  Joe said "eat your foot." We said "Joe!"  Alyssa

On Friday we went to the Event Park and we saw a show.  My favourite part was the Funky Monkeys and at the end we sang 'Bubbles'.  Navaeh

Harvest Festival Room 15

Room Fifteen enjoyed making vege-cakes on Friday. Reading from a recipe we made our batter and added chopped courgettes, sweetcorn and chilli. Then we used a hot frying pan to cook them. 

OPPS..... Some of the vege-cakes got a little bit too hot.

Room 15 is going to share them with our friends across the school.

There is enough to feed the whole school. Yum.

Exploring our environment.

 Room 15's learning journey has begun for 2012. 

 Take a look around our School with us.  We love to explore some of the beautiful native fauna surrounding our classroom.  We spotted a birds nest high in the tree.  Can you see it too?

 What shall we plant next in our garden?

 We have lots of baby Totara saplings growing near our classroom.  Can you find out how big they grow?  Find the answer by following this link:

We prepared our soil.
We carefully planted our cabbages and marigolds.
Now we need to keep our garden watered and bug free!

Room 15's garden

I wonder if I could design my own garden?

What are my favourite vegetable and flowers?

Room 15 is enjoying the sunny weather. 

We planted our garden with some smelly marigold flowers to shoo the white butterflies away from our cabbages.
