Sugar is bad!

55 g is a lot of sugar . Sugar is bad because it makes you fat. It  rots your teeth.

I think LCMs are a treat food.

Even though it has healthy ingredients, we need to watch  out for hidden sugars.

Where I am at W.I.T

Dear Mrs O’Dowda, Mrs Johnson and Mrs James,

We are doing a WIT about invertebrates and want to make a resource to help your class identify what bugs are in our Frankley Bush.  We need to observe and talk to some of your learners about what would be suitable for them for learning.  When would be a good time?  What day suits?

We would like to ask them some questions to help us:

  • How does your class learn new facts if they can’t read?
  • Show me how you would find out information about something you don’t know about? Internet, books, pictures??
  • Would photographs of invertebrate help them?

Thanks for your help

Mason S, Bruno and Mikaere

Hi Mason, Bruno and Mikaere,

That sounds very exciting. It would be a great idea to visit and talk to some of our students. I am really interested to see what answers our learners have to your questions!

Either Wednesday 2nd (tomorrow) after lunch, or Thursday 3rd after morning tea. I would be available to support you during those times. 

Please let me know,

Mrs O'Dowda

Wriggly Worms

Wonderful Wiggly Worms

Some New Zealand worms glow in the dark, but here in our Frankley School bush we only have the common variety. New Zealand has more than 200 species of earthworms.

Appearance

Worms are invertebrates meaning they have no backbone, they feel slippery when you hold them in your hands. They are soft smooth and wiggly and must stay moist or they will dry out and die.

Habitat

Some Worms live in soil and some live in compost. They like it to be moist and dark and not over crowded.

Diet

Worms like to eat apples and stuff from the compost. They like to eat leaves and dirt.

Did you know that worms do not have eyes?  But they do have other really good senses, such as hearing and touch.

Dear Andre’


Thank you for helping me at kayaking, archery and grass karts. My favourite part was the kayaking. Thank you for helping me pull the kayak out.


When we were on the grass carts, you helped us by pulling up the heavy cart up the hill, again and again.


For archery you helped me get the bow ready to aim.


I felt good because I was able to give everything a go.
