Fletch is the one on the right,can you see he has not got the orange legs yet? His beak is brownish,not orange like his parents' beaks.
He is a black oystercatcher,the other species is the pied oystercatcher,do you know how they are different to Fletch?
His parents fed him oysters and worms. They were fantastic parents,they protected him at all times When he was small,they chased Princess my cat away,also Gary had to stop mowing the lawn,as they got most annoyed with him.
We really, really want to plant a garden and we need some help.
The garden is by Room 2 and it is already weeded. You guys don't have to do the weeding because Mrs Turner has already done it.
Three mussel buoys have already got primulas and strawberries.
Please, we need to plant vegetables. Coby likes beetroot, Rishant would like passionfruit. Billy would love to have strawberries so he can drink strawberry juice. Alyssa said, "Italian parsley is for Mr Phillips."
We could plant watermelons too!! (In Term 4)
There is even a peach tree that we don't know where to plant.
You don't have to bring your gardening tools because we already have them in our gardening shed.
Parents, and grandparents can you help us?
We would really love you to help us.
From everyone in Room Three
Room one helped start a worm farm for the gardens in Autumn this year.
These cabbages were grown down by Room6 Gary says..." Be sure to plant your cabbages far enough apart,so that they don't bump heads!!!!"
It was raining a little bit. Frankie's hands got muddy when they pulled the mussel buoy to the new spot.
The two gardens at the back of this picture belong to Room three. We want to plant vegetables and specially strawberry plants. Kororia specially would like tiny flowers. Coby likes beetroot. radishes,blueberries and cherry tomatoes too!!!
''Stop! Go! '' shouted Alexander.
It was mighty hard work because we had to make sure we didn't let the rollers come out.
You had to pass the roller to the person in front when it came out the back of the mussel buoy.
We took the buoy to Room Three from the Room One and Two alarm bell box.
It took about an hour,cause it was even longer than lunch time.
We successfully made it to Room Three, our hands felt hot like lava.
Room3 is looking at a New Zealand Artist, Fraser Williamson. He
illustrates in many New Zealand's school journals and
stories within the journals.
We decided to paint using his style
of illustration.
We
like his paintings because they are very unique and different. His
paintings are done in a cartoon style with a South pacific feel.
Fraser and his wife,who is an author,visited a class to show his style of painting.

Going to the Hall
August 14th
When we went to the hall today, the
teenagers had fun talking to us. They sang a song, we had to sway
our hands.
They taught us a clapping game. Most
people liked it.
We had a dance contest, Coby Billy and
Atutahi were in it. Coby was a bit embarrassed!!!
Everyone in the contest won a green
wrist-band.
But the main thing they taught us…DON’T
BULLY!!!!
By Room 3 and Ian Franklin specially helped
with this co-operative writing
Atutahi, Coby and Billy were in the dance contest.
