Worm Farm

-
A huge thankyou to Anouk for coming in and helping us re set up our worm farms. We have the bath going again and a smaller farm for the Juniors. The seniors have a mini worm farm in their classroom to make sure they can look after the worms properly. Students had a short video on how to look after the worms and what to feed them and then went outside to see the worms.  There was some pretty interesting discussion and vocabulary happening out there, especially when Anouk produced magnifying glasses to look at them better!  Let's hope we can keep them alive and help our gardens at the same time with all that lovely rich worm juice!

    Kia ora Team Moana,
    I remember having worm farms at Onerahi Primary School when my children went there, we could buy the worm juice for our gardens. Are you going to collect and sell worm juice? What kind of things do you need to feed your worms?

      Kia ora Tania,
      Thank you for responding to our blog post. No we are not going to sell worm juice we are only going to collect it and put it in the garden. We feed them some little bits of scraps. But we don't feed them orange peels, onion, orange juice, plastic, shiny paper,garlic, chillies and citrus. Today we opened the worm farm and it stunk! Has this ever happened to you? Do you know what we could do about this?

      Team Moana student, Kate & Lilly.

    Hey Team Moana. I Really like the photo's how they are clear and bright so we can see it. This reminds me of a time I was in room 6 and we had to clean the worm farm. maybe next time you could just make sure that one of the kids hair are not blocking the way.

Dubai - SriLanka

Hi everyone, I finally figured out how to access the class Blog so here is my update. I wonder what the temperature is in NZ? It has been 37 most days here, one day even got up to 40🌞 We have been swimming in the Indian Ocean, Persian Gulf and the Bay of Bengal - can you find them on the map? Sri Lanka was a very different place to visit, definitely not a rich country like Dubai, there are a lot of poorer areas, but it has beautiful beaches and the National Parks are great. It is really really sad to see all the forests being cut down though, there have been 35 people killed by elephants already this year as the elephants come down to the people's farms looking for food. There are so many people in Sri Lanka, over 19 million, and their country is smaller than NZ. This made driving on the roads very interesting, there are cars, buses, tuk tuks, motorbikes and bicycles going in all directions. It was like being in a car rally every day! One day we were stopped by a policeman ...

Week 7 Term 1 Cricket Coaching

-
Kia ora 'Yippee!" we all yelled. It was a lovely sunny day at Ohaeawai School and we were all going out onto the field to have lessons in how to play cricket from a couple of professional coaches. They taught us all the basic skills first and then they taught a variation on the traditional game of cricket. This variation makes the game quicker and more exciting for children. We all loved it. Here is a video to show you how it works.

Zoofari

Kia ora This week all of the Moana kids who hadn't been on a zoofari trip to Auckland Zoo before, got to participate in one. A zoofari is an overnight trip to Auckland Zoo where you get to sleep in the old elephant house where the elephants Burma and Kashin used to live. You get two guided walks around the zoo, one in daylight and one in the dark accompanied by zoo keepers who know all about the zoo and its animals. You also get some free time to roam the zoo with your teachers and the parents who volunteered to come along. On top of this you get a barbecue dinner and breakfast. Thanks to the generosity of Auckland Zoo, Ritchie's Bus Company and The Warehouse, all of this comes absolutely free! The only cost per kid is $10 to buy lunch and morning tea. So, 45 of us plus Mrs Henderson, Mrs Brajkovich, Mr Solly, Mrs Edge, Mr Palmer and Mrs Chamberlain zoomed down to the big city. We saw so many amazing animals and the whole trip was just marvellous. One of the highlights was...
