Book day

Well done to everyone in Kowhai who came along dressed up as a character from a book. Check out us and the rest of the schools costumes. 

Agriculture Day

We have had an awesome morning learning about farm safety. Grant from Farmsafe talked to us about making sure we are safe around tractors and motorbikes. Did you know a quad bike is almost 300kilograms? That is why children are not aloud to ride on them with their parents because we would get squashed and hurt if the quad bike tipped on us.

We also listened to Lachlan tell us about how bees make honey. We even got to taste some of the honey his bees makes. He brought along bees so we all looked hard to find the queen bee. She is bigger than her workers and has a long tail. Did you know the drone does not have a sting?

We also listened to Ann from Clutha Vets. She brought along her son's dog called Jim. She also brought some x-rays of dogs with broken bones. Rory got to listen with the stethoscope to Jim's heartbeat. Did you know that vets are like being a doctor and a dentist? 

PMP

Kowhai has been learning about spatial awareness and language in PMP today. The children showed what it looked like to be over something and under something.
