Sumo Paint

Room 14 and 15 have been learning new skills on the Chromebooks. This week some of our reading groups have learnt how to use Sumo Paint to create pictures about the books they've read. Check them out!

Yep......Bobella!!!!

"Bob" emerged from the chrysalis this afternoon. After pumping liquid into the wings and spreading them out I could see that in fact - Bob was a female. The butterfly wings have thicker markings and no scent spots so indeed Bob is Bobella. Here are some shots of her a bit wrinkled before starting to get used to her beautiful change. Change can certainly be good!!

Bob is nearly ready Room 6!!!

Today as I was packing up to leave I took a final check of our Swan Plants. I was so excited to see that in the space of a couple of hours, Bob's chrysalis had become almost transparent. If you look carefully you can see Bob wrapped up and safe in his haven. Look at those beautiful wings. Can't wait to see Bob......or will it be Bobella???? emerge!!

Bob's amazing and highly anticipated transformation

We all have Swan plants and caterpillars in our learning spaces. We have been eagerly watching the caterpillars grow...little munching machines! In Room 6 we have Bob and Bruno who are in the final stages of their metamorphosis by resting in their Chrysalis. Meet Bob:

He was our first to make the "J" shape and form a chrysalis.

Ms Ewart was the first to have a butterfly hatch today.....so exciting!

Marae Trip 2019

Our Pārua had a wonderful day at Rehua Marae. We were welcomed on before having time in the Marae to look at the carvings, the tukutuku and the Kowhaiwhai panels. In the afternoon we enjoyed the sun at a local park. Kia ora to all of our parent helpers that supported us in the day.

Awards for week 7
