An eventful time

This year has been amazing.  So many fun events. 

Term 3 saw the celebration of Children's Day for Enviroschools.  16 children taught other children how to make Weta Houses.  So impressed with their enthusiasm and ability to teach in such a short period of time. They were calm, relaxed and well spoken.  Loved seeing them share their learning to help others learn. 

Photos of mokomoko (skink) flooded my cellphone last term.  I'd been working with a class and their teacher on how to identify skink.  2 eager students found some so the task was set to identify them.  (A reminder that skink should stay in their area).  We checked the doc website to see if we could spot the diamond on the head, which would identify them as the Copper Skink, a NZ native.  We tried our best but will have to try again another day.
