Today we found out about insects.  We drew and labelled insects like this.

Here is a link to Kiwi Kids News.  There are always lots of interesting topics to explore.

Our garden is being eaten by white butterflies.  We also think a bunny is eating our lettuces.  Today we all went out in the garden and wiped the butterfly eggs off the leaves of the pak choy and silver beet.  Mrs Marychurch sprayed the plants with Derris dust, so we hope we have put an end to the mischievious butterflies.  Fraser actually caught one!!!!

Emma brought her guinea pigs to school to share with us.  The babies are only four days old.  

 

This is us and our garden.  We planted three gardens, one for vegetables, one for flowers and onfor herbs.  The vegies we grew were silver beet, lettuce and spinach.  We are hoping to make a nice salad to eat. The herbs were parsley, chives and oregano. The flowers we grew were primula and pansies for winter.
