Powhiri Practice

Today we had our first powhiri practice ready for our visitors next week.

The whole school went outside to learn the different waiata and karakia that we are going to use.

The kapa haka group helped us all with the words and actions.

Grandparents and Friends Day

Friday 29th October was 'Grandparents and Friends Day' at Broadlands School.

We wrote invitations to our guests the week before.

In the morning we had a special sharing assembly.

We showed them how we do Jump Jam.

Then we got them to join in with us!!

We also performed some of our songs from the Term 3 production

'Dance Around the World.'

Our Veggie Patch

This afternoon we went outside with Sue van Mierlo (Sophie's Mum) to plant our vegetable seedlings.

Each class has a raised garden which we made earlier in the year.

Sue showed us that some of the seeds were in strips to make them easier to plant.

First we made a long trench to lay the seeds in.

Next we lay the strip of seeds in the trench.

Finally we covered the seeds with soil.



Pumpkin Planting

 Wednesday 27th October.

 Today Sophie's Mum, Sue, came into school to help us plant our pumpkin for the 'Pumpkin Growing' competition. We need to look after it really well if our class is going to win the competition.
