Our Garden

 The children in Room 18 enjoyed doing gardening in their classroom bay.

Caylee and Gene are digging a

 hole to plant the flower.

Monaro and Aroha had no problem wearing gloves. 

They got tools ready for planting.

It was really exciting.

We planted some beautiful flowers.

It wasn't tricky for Arthur to put the gloves on.

Mr. Shaw watered our garden for us because plants 

need water and sunlight to grow.

Maths Facts

 Caylee loves Maths and knows her facts to 20.

Caylee and Faith like testing each other.

Aroha is also writing her facts to 20.

Lizzy the Lizard

 During playtime Caylee, Aroha, Faith and Genevieve found a baby lizard. They decided to called it Lizzy.  They took care of Lizzy and found her a new and safe home.
