This weekend is the festival so we are getting set up for it.
We have made plant labels, zero waste posters and bags for the dahlias and Room 5 have repainted the sponge throw. Also, the lawns have been mowed, Alistair has dropped off some tables, the wood choppers have dropped off the wood and the judging for the scarecrows is on today! Exciting!

There’s this scarecrow comp.
It is when you make scarecrows for a competition and to support the festival that is this Sunday.
They are all different scarecrows, sort of like how you are different to everyone else.
This year you win a tyre checker.
Last week we did enviro. There were five groups. Tui was in eels and freshwater fish. Each day they set the eel traps, but they didn't catch anything. We also watched some videos.
Beau was on weta homes and we built a giant weta home and we put concrete in the bottom to hold the logs in place.
The other groups were tree bingo, gardening and Ians group.

This week we went to see three houses. There was a log cabin, a yurt and a clay house.
They told us about the materials that made the houses and how it improved their lives. It was so fun because we went inside all of the houses. It was a different decor in each house and they were all made out of different materials.

This week, all week, we are making huts in our house groups. Yellow are making it on the top field, red have half the bottom field each and green have the Rathgar House area.
Later this week our class are going on a trip to see local houses. We are going to go see a log cabin, a yurt and maybe a mud house

We went to Bark Bay last week.
We went on a fungi hunt,we also had a sand castle competition and Beau, Liam and I won. We also went on a fungi hunt on the way to the waterfall.
On the way to the waterfall we also saw a Kaka or two and there was one at the hut as well. I think his name was TJ.

Maze game
When Mrs Milnes was sick we had Phoebe, (Yuri’s Mum) as our teacher. She has taught for 22 years. She taught us the maze game.
This is how you play the game:
Put the desks into a maze.
Pick two taggers to be in.
Then everybody apart from the taggers starts walking around the maze.
You have to be decisive in choosing which path to take.
Then the taggers start walking in the same way.
If you run into a tagger, shake their hands gracefully and then you are out.
The last person standing wins.
