Room 12 have been planting some swan plants. We used some yoghurt containers. We put some soil in and then we put in the seeds. We water the plants everyday.
Vivili, Raphael and I drew a life cycle of a butterfly on a long blue piece of wood. First I painted the leaf and the eggs. Vivili painted the tree.Then we painted the butterfly. Katelyn, Michael and Levron drew the life cycle of a swan plant on the other piece of wood. These were put together by Room 20 to make a garden for the swan plants. Some big swan plants have been planted and we will put ours in the garden once they get a bit bigger.
Levron bought part of a swan plant which has already grown to school and their are lots of caterpillars crawling all over it.

We have been learning how to swim at the Otara Leisure Centre. 
We have just had our Family Fun Day. We did heaps of activities like musical chairs, sponge race, tails, balloon pop, gumboot toss and many more. My favourite was tails because we got to snatch the tails off of other people. It was terribly hot but we had our hats and we wore sunblock. I had a fabulous time!
Our swan plant has had some very hungry caterpillars eating it. They ate it so much that we needed something else to feed it. Sam read that caterpillars will eat cabbage leaves and bought some from home. Room 20 gave us a butternut squash to feed the caterpillars too.
