Zoo Trip Term 4

We had a great day at Auckland Zoo learning how animals are adapted to live in their habitats. Kristy and John were our educators.

Congratulations to Reagan and Jerry

We love your Giraffe Art Reagan! You are trying hard to listen attentively Jerry!

Thanks New World for our plants

Here we are with our buddies and the plants we grew.

Plants need water, soil with minerals and sunlight to grow.

Begonias for the Bees

It was Enviro Day today! We begun our morning by planting begonias and dianthus for the bees, in the sculpture garden.

We talked about the patterns we could make with 3 begonias and 9 dianthus. As they were both multiples of 3 we decided on a D, D, D, B pattern. Our diggers had to preserve to get through the stoney soil. Also we could split the 12 plants into two groups of six.

Dylan said, "I liked planting because everyone got to join in and do someting. I liked getting my hands dirty."

Samantha remarked, "I liked how everyone participated and no one ws left out."

Jake, Matthew & Reagan are going to water the plants every day We worked out that 3 water monitors watering 12 plants will water 4 plants each.
