Transplanting Our Seedlings

We are naming and poking holes in our yoghurt containers that we are going to use to put our seedlings in.

We are filling the containers with soil.

We have just put the soil in the containers and are putting the plants in.

Now we are watering the plants.

Tree Planting At Waitoetoe Park

The whole Simply Magic Team went down to Waitoetoe Park to plant some trees that were donated to us by ARocha. The names of the trees were Kahikatea, Griselinia, Cabbage Tree, Karaka, Lancewood and Pittosporum. We had loads of FUN!!!!!! Iola Haggarty brought the trees (that were donated to us by ARocha) down to Waitoetoe Park so we could plant them. Here are some some fabulous photos that we took:

Market Day Products Inquiry

We are holding a Market Day next term to raise some money to buy the Middle School Classes some new things such as Lego, bean bags, Mancala, Marble Run or building blocks.  We had an immersion day last week when we went to other classes in the middle school to make products that might be suitable to sell.  Here we are!!!!!

Financial Literacy
Try this game at home.

me 1:

A game for two players. Players take turns stacking coins. Each time a coin is placed on the stack the total value of the stack needs to be stated by that player. The players take turns placing a coin and stating the total value until the stack falls over. The player who can not state the total of the stack or knocks the stack over loses the game.

Spring is here at last.  Dreary winter has past.  To finish our "Being Healthy" Inquiry we grew some seeds yesterday.  We grew "Luscious Lettuces," 

"Rockin' Rocket," "Perfect Parsley" and "Sensational Spinach." We hope they grow well in the special propagators which were given to us by "Plant to Plate."  We will get lots of healthy vitamins and fibre from the vegetables.
