Radio NZ Children's Treasure Chest Link

We had a look at this website today and found a great chapter book to listen too. You can explore this link as well! Remember to add any stories you listen to to your reading log. Also remember - double check your understanding of any new words - a new word you  understand is a new word you can use!!

Our NZ Bank Notes

This week we had a conversation about who Kate Sheppard was. After some further discussion we found that we don't really know a lot about some of the people who feature on our bank notes. We will be focusing on this for the next week or so.

Historical Park Visit

Today, as part of our Turangawaewae Inquiry topic, we visited the Outram Historical Park. While there we completed a range of activities. We had the chance to have a good explore around the various buildings and see all of the amazing collections.We found the Jail house quite dark and spooky! Zelda from the Historical Park talked to us about life in early Outram. Here are some photos from our visit.
