Vege Garden

We made no dig vege gardens, using old tractor tyres as the outside then we layered seaweed, grass clippings, horse manure, leaves and old lucern hay to make lots of layers then put compost on top and planted our seeds. We have heaps of beetroot, silver beet, radishes,  pumpkins, corn, peas and carrots growing. So Yummy!!!!!!

Sculpture

We all helped to make a sculpture for our butterfly garden using Oamaru stone. The shape I made was a circle. We stacked all our different shapes together with a stainless steel rod which runs through the middle of our sculpture.

Tree Hut

This is our awesome hut we made. We finally got it finished. We made it with rails, old fence batons, roofing nails and roofing iron. We have heaps of fun playing in it. We are going to make pully sytem for it so we can lift things up to the hut.

Candle Making

We made candles last term for our school restaurant.
We made some from bees wax, old crayons and parafin wax.
They looked great and burnt really well.

In term 2 we studied chemical reactions. We made a Coke and Berroca Rocket.

Shanty Town

We got to dress up in olden day clothes, like children would have dressed like 100yrs ago when we went to Shanty Town. At Shanty Town we went on a steam train, visited an old mill, panned for gold, went to China Town and made damper bread. We had a great day even though it did rain at times. It was the best camp ever on the Westcoast!

Mining for Coal

I am shoveling coal into a coal cart. It was really hard work and dusty. It was vary dark inside the coal mine. You could hear creaky and rats scurrying around!

Feeding the Eels in Hokitika

I liked feeding the eels at the Hokitika Kiwi Centre. You can tell the long fin eels from the short fin eels by the way their skin wrinkles when they bend. The eels I was feeding were between 80 and 125yrs old. They are born in the Tonga Trenches.
