Discovery Time


Wow! What a lot of learning we have been doing at Discovery Time because as well as discovering amazing things about plants we are learning to be A+ accountable when we work in a group and articulate by asking and answering questions and listening to others.
I wonder what else we will discover. 
Thank you so much to our wonderful parent helpers and Room 7 buddies.

Reading Fun


Look at all the A+ readers in the Springston Rockets team. I wonder what they are reading! 
We can't wait to dress up as our favourite characters on Friday.

Let's Get Going with Growing!


We wanted to find out more about plants so today we went exploring at the Botanical Gardens and Riccarton Bush.





First we played on the playground.




Then we made friends with a tree! We described the tree while we were blind folded! 




Next we learnt about the birds and bugs that live in trees. It was fun being bug detectives! What bugs do you think we found?


Look what we found at Riccarton Bush! A big stick insect.


 Here we are exploring the bush. Do you know what we found?


A twisted branch growing amongst the ferns and lots of other trees and plants.
