waimarama sanctuary visit

On Thursday the 17th of September my class went to the Waimarama sanctuary up the Brook. There were 6 activities we started at 6 went to 1 and so on. our favourite activity was the 5th one where we got to go into the stream and catch little fish food.
The other interesting activity was number two it was all about whales. We saw lots of whale bones. I found out that a blue whale is 33m long WOW that’s huge!!!
The 1st one we went to number 6 i thought was quite weird it’s was singing and puppets it bit odd for me.
Activity 1 was fun because we got to run around and play a game.
The worst one for me was the activity where we had to be blind folded and go around and guess what was in the box. There were fungi and a stoat (EW) a kiwi, leaf litter, birds nest, moss and Owls wing (also gross).
On activity 3 1 person had to go into the middle of a circle and have an egg in front of them. one person had to sneak up and try to get the egg but if the person in the middle pointed at them they were out.
It was a great day out and a fun experience and we would love to go to it next year.

leek and potato soup

Hey,

IN the start of term 3 our class made leek and potato soup.

We planted leeks in the middle of term 1 and they were ready by the end of term 2

so we thought we would make soup. We prepared the bread by putting yeast in water along with sugar and we put it by the fire. Once it had foamed up we added the dry ingredients and kneaded it. It was time to make the soup!!! We cut up all the ingredients and boiled them added the stock and blended it together. We added milk and walla there's the soup.

Harry Potter!!
