Rooms 11 & 19 Bug Out

 Today Room 11 & 19 found out what makes an insect. After looking closely at Mrs Daniel's weta, wasp, Gisborne cockroach and photo cards, we went on a bug hunt. 

We were looking for animals that had six legs, an exoskelaton, head, thorax and abdomen.

We found skinks, worms, spiders and snails.  They aren't insects.

We also found ants, bees, bumblebees, and cockroaches.  They ARE insects.

Lastly we created our own insects making sure to include all the body parts.

Room 15 Keen Beans 🥒

 

Room 15 were learning about growing and eating healthy kai today. 

We did some hard mahi in the mara🌱. 

 First we filled up the compost water tank, Then we watered the gardens with worm tea. Lastly we picked and tried baby broad beans🥒. The pods went in the worm farm, so our wiggly friends 🪱 can turn them into more fertilizer for growing more kai. That's being sustainable ♻️

Hopefully next time the kakariki strawberries will be whero 🍓

Room 13 Busy Bee's 🍯🐝

 

Room 13 made sweet treats with our very own Sunny Honey.

Afterwards we planted beans, tomatoes and cucumbers. The bees will pollinate the flowers so we have more delicious kai to eat.
