Chickens!

-
Hi all, wasn't that a busy last few weeks of Term 3. It was great to see you got all your projects and presentations completed and posted - well done everyone!
Well Mrs H got the eggs in the incubator home safely and plugged in waiting for hatching. This was supposed to take place on Tuesday - BUT when I left to travel to Auckland yesterday - THERE WERE NO CHICKENS.
I was feeling very sad about this and did not know what to do so had to leave Mr H in charge.
To my surprise this morning I received a pic of our first chicken!  It is Sooo cute!  I cannot wait to get home to cuddle it - I hope Mr H looks after it very carefully until I get there. He better make sure Max the cat does not go near it.
Below is a pic - it is one of the black ones - an Australorp - I hope there will be more over the next couple of days.
Happy Holidays!

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...
