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.

 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.

Local House Visits

  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 the winter tournament was postponed, which was sad. 


Last week we went to the Suter art Gallery and it was fun, because we made a cool clay waka.


We’re also making a hut/house depending on our house colour. We have to use at least 10 or more pieces of bamboo, And a tarpaulin.

 A few weeks ago, we went to the Suter art gallery. We saw clay art and made clay art.   It was so much fun.

We ate lunch at the playground by the pool.We saw ducks too.

A few days later, there was a flood in Nelson. Leah’s Gran picked up the clay art today. It looks good.

Maze Game

  Class blog


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:

  1. Put the desks into a  maze.

  2.  Pick two taggers to be in.

  3. Then everybody apart from the taggers starts walking around the maze.

  4. You have to be decisive in choosing which path to take.

  5. Then the taggers start walking in the same way.

  6. If you run into a tagger, shake their hands gracefully and then you are out.

  7. The last person standing wins.
