February

Today is the last day in February and already we have had so many learning experiences that we could share with you.  Some of them are represented by the pictures below.

We found an apple tree in Father John's garden.  We enjoyed eating the apples and then and writing about how crunchy and red and juicy they were.

The  bigger children have been looking after the school garden.  Last year they planted sunflowers and look how tall they have grown. Way taller than us!!

We have also picked strawberries from our class garden every day. We have learned how to tell which strawberries are ready to eat and we learned the correct way to pick them so we don't damage the plant. 

Last week we held a Memorial Service to mark 5 years since the Christchurch earthquake.  We remembered and prayed for everyone who has been affected by changes in their families and the changes in our city.  The children were very respectful. The teachers read prayers and the senior children place flowers on our memorial tree.
