New World Little Garden update

The little gardens are growing beautifully in Room 9a and Room 18.
The children have been spraying them with water and putting them in the sunshine.
The children have each taken one plant home now to grow in their own garden and we will plant the leftovers in the class garden.
Watch this space.

Room 9a Insects

Room 9a has turned into insects, so watch out when you come to visit. 

Most of them are harmless but they can be scary and very hungry.

Stick Insects

We are learning about 'Insects'.

This week we looked at 'Stick Insects'.

We found out that they have 3 body parts.

They have 6 legs and they hatch from eggs.

They can camouflage themselves to look like the branches on trees.

The Maori name for a stick insect is 'Ro'.

They eat leaves.

*We made our own stick insects out of sticks. They are very cute. Come and have a look.

Room 9a went home on Thursday and all the stick insects were on the Science Table. When we came to school on Friday all the Stick Insects were on our insect tree at the back of the classroom. We think they decided to explore our classroom and found a lovely place to Camouflage on.

What do you think happened?
